Spirit Grand Med - Which ports are tendered?

[Loving My Life]

We are doing the Grand Med itinerary that goes to Barcelona, Provence, Florence/Pisa, Rome, Naples, Mykonos, Istanbul, Ephesus, Athens, and Venice. Does anyone know which of these ports require tenders or where I can find this information? I'm trying to give pick up times for all of our private tours. Thanks!

No matter which ship or itinerary you are on, your eDocs will tell you what ports will be docked and what ports will be tendered for your specific sailing.

Thanks so much! Believe it or not, I did look around on NCL's website and couldn't find this. :o

When we did this cruise we always docked.

In Mykonos we docked, and they had a free shuttle into town, its only a mile away, not really a walkable 1 mile, small road, no shoulder.

But sometimes it tenders in Mykonos. ;)

No problem. Sometimes even a simple internet search will help, when I enter "ncl tender port" in Google, that page is the first hit in search results (of course, most search engine results are personalized nowadays, so YMMV).

Hi, I just got off the Spirit on Oct 21 (same itinerary) and on our cruise, we docked at all these ports. We were lucky to have nice warm weather, but disappointed that there was some fog or haziness as we pulled into Venice. Enjoy your trip!

We were on that cruise last year and also on the Jade for a 7 Day Greek Isle cruise right after (B2B). In Mykonos only, the Spirit was tendered and the Jade was docked. Really depends on how many other ships are in port before you arrive. We were the only ship in port with the Jade but the Spirit was 3rd ship in so we were tendered. The rest of the ports while on the Spirit were docked, the Jade also tendered in Santorini. Hope this helps.

We did this one in September. Only Mykonos was tender. That was good as the tender drops you right at the Mykonos Town Harbour ( not actually in the harbour !!, but on dry land). I think it's sometimes tender, sometimes it docks. Depends on how many other ships. Your tour company will know anyway. At all other ports the ship docked.

I have found this link to be excellent to find out how many ships will be in port the same day as your Cruise.
