Cruise lines often market an itinerary with the best-known nearby destination while the ship docks at a separate coastal port. The physical port determines where you embark or go ashore and which local information applies.
Use the port pages above for terminal-specific details, things to do, excursions, and cruises visiting each port. If your booking only says “Edinburgh,” check the full itinerary or cruise documents for one of these physical port names: South Queensferry and Rosyth.
