Identify the maritime station
The official port map shows Maritime Stations 1–6 across a long working harbour. Save the station and public exit from ship instructions.
Road access has changed during waterfront works; the signed route on the day overrides an old map screenshot.
Getting There
Port to central Palma
- From a station 1–4 public exit, walk to 26-Port – Estació Marítima; allow roughly 5–15 minutes depending on the station/exit.
- Board EMT line 1 with Sindicat on the display.
- Alight at 6-Sindicat – Àrea d’intercanvi Sindicat. For the Cathedral/old centre, continue roughly 700–900 m/10–15 minutes on foot.
The current urban/port onboard fare is €2. Pay cash (maximum change €10) or tap an accepted debit/credit card at the validator; the ticket does not include a transfer. Line 1’s published full route takes about 40 minutes, so allow 35–60 minutes total to Sindicat for terminal walking, a normal wait and the ride.

Getting There
Taxi and payment
Use a signed rank. The current official tariff page lists a €2.50 weekday-day flagfall or €2.85 nights/holidays, then €1.20/€1.35 per km, plus one €4.65 port or airport supplement. Luggage is free, cards are accepted and a receipt must be available. Waiting/traffic charges can apply, so no fixed port–centre total is claimed.
For an outer station or two suitcases, a taxi often avoids a long port walk. Give the driver the exact maritime station for the return.
Your Situation
Palma Airport in both directions
Airport → stations 1–4
- Outside Arrivals, board EMT A1 toward Palma Centre; alight at Plaça d’Espanya / Intermodal area.
- Walk to the signed line 1 city stop and board line 1 toward Dic de l’Oest.
- Alight at 15-Portopí – Estacions Marítimes 1, 2, 3 i 4, then walk to the saved public cruise entrance.
Pay €5 on A1 and €2 on line 1: separate onboard tickets, €7 total. Allow roughly 60–90 minutes including walking, waits, interchange and rides.
Ending your cruise: port → airport
- Board line 1 at 26-Port – Estació Marítima with Sindicat on the display.
- Alight for Plaça d’Espanya, follow signs to A1, then board A1 toward Aeroport.
- Alight at the airport passenger terminal and allow airline check-in/security time.
For stations 5–6/outer berths, use the live planner only if a safe public first leg is shown; otherwise take a ship shuttle or taxi.

Port Day
Central Palma return to ship
- At 6-Sindicat, board line 1 with Dic de l’Oest on the display.
- For stations 1–4, alight at 15-Portopí – Estacions Marítimes 1, 2, 3 i 4.
- Retrace the saved route to the correct station and allow port security/gangway time.
Outer-station passengers should follow the ship’s return shuttle or use a taxi to their exact station. Do not rely on “Port of Palma” as a sufficient destination.
Accessibility
Luggage and mobility
- The line 1 route adds terminal walking and a city walk; a taxi is simpler with two suitcases.
- The Intermodal Station at Plaça d’Espanya is open broadly from 05:30 to 01:30 and has luggage storage, but storage is not needed merely to change buses.
- Ask the cruise line about gangway/outer-berth assistance; public-stop accessibility does not certify the port path.
What to Confirm
What to recheck
- Exact maritime station and whether ship transport is supplied.
- Line 1/A1 stop changes, displayed direction and current fares.
- Port construction access notices and permitted walking route.
- Taxi total: the tariff components are published, but traffic/distance determine the final meter.
