Sightseeing:

Named in honour of Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, queen consort to King William IV, the city was founded in 1836 as the planned capital for a freely-settled British province in Australia.

The city center features Rundle Mall as its main shopping focus, and North Terrace as its main cultural focus (Art Gallery, Museum, State Library, Universities). The Casino is also located on North Tce, over the top of the central railway station. The Adelaide Festival of Arts (March) has many venues, including the Festival Center, very close to the railway station. There is a new bridge to the rebuilt Adelaide Oval (cricket, Australian Rules (AFL) football) .

Adelaide , capital city of South Australia, is situated on the River Torrens between Gulf St Vincent to the west and the Mount Lofty Ranges to the east. The city is named after Queen Adelaide, consort of William IV. The city layout was planned by Surveyor-General, Colonel William Light, in 1836 as a square-mile grid of wide boulevards surrounded by parks and gardens. Once known, somewhat condescendingly, as "the City of Churches", Adelaide in the past 30 years has become celebrated for its arts festival, its alfresco lifestyle, and its manageable size and pace, all enhanced by a climate in which hot summers and warm autumns are separated by mild springs and winters.

The city itself is studded with elegant colonial buildings and preserved facades. Along the north side of North Terrace you will find some interesting and some fine architecture - Old Parliament House (now the Constitutional Museum), the Parliament House, the Adelaide Railway Station, Government House, the South Australian Museum, the Art Gallery of South Australia, the Mortlock Library, and Adelaide University's Elder and Bonython Halls. Elsewhere in the city, the Festival Center on the Torrens, the Bicentennial Conservatory at the Botanical Gardens , St Peter's Cathedral in North Adelaide, Ayers House at the eastern end of North Terrace and the koalas at Cleland Wildlife Park (in the suburban hills) are all worth a visit.

Tours Excursions Transportation:

Adelaide's city center is easy to explore on foot. Most of Adelaide’s big-ticket sights are within walking distance of the city center, with many along North Tce. The core Rundle Mall shopping district is entirely pedestrianised.

You can circle around the main Adelaide sights on the free city buses. Look for 99C bus.  It has clockwise and anticlockwise routes each with about 30 stops taking in all the major cultural and commercial centres in the City, beginning at Victoria Square and including Adelaide Railway Station. The buses feature ground-level access ramps.

Nearby Places:

--> Glenelg , or ‘the Bay’ Located only 10km from the heart of Adelaide City, Glenelg is a charming seaside resort set on the long sandy white shores of Holdfast Bay. Glenelg is the site of South Australia's original mainland settlement in 1836. A short 25 minute trip by tram departing from the center of Glenelg - Moseley Square, takes you into Adelaide City and most importantly - Rundle Mall.

Cleland Wildlife Park Cleland Wildlife Park is only 20 minutes from the Adelaide city center Nestled within the natural bush setting of Cleland Conservation Park, and adjacent to Mount Lofty Summit, the park provides 35 hectares of open bushland habitat where visitors can interact with Australian wildlife such as kangaroos, koalas, and emus.

Shopping and Food

A few paces west of Victoria Square, on the south side of Grote Street, is the Central Market , which since the second half of the 19th C. has supplied the city with fresh fruit, vegetables and culinary delicacies. This colorful market was founded in 1870.

Rundle Mall: The city's main shopping area features local and national department stores, boutiques, specialty shops, cafes, and pubs. Watch for street entertainers, including mimes and musicians, and enjoy the people-watching on this pedestrian mall.

Getting Around

Some cruise lines offer complimentary or paid shuttle services to ferry passengers from the port terminal to the city centre.

Taxis are available outside the Adelaide cruise terminal. These are metered and accept most major credit cards. The usual fare may cost around 30 AUD. Passengers may also use Uber to get around. Uber drivers and passengers must follow the strict pick-up and drop-off procedure at the port.

Public transportation in Australia is a breeze with schedules posted at every passenger point and online . The Adelaide Metro website also provides a journey planner for passengers wanting to get around the city and towns. For frequent travels, it is advised to buy a preloaded MetroCard.

Adelaide is the fifth largest city in Australia and the capital city of South Australia. The city thrives in agriculture and mining, but this is not to say that it isn’t as cosmopolitan as Australia’s other cities. It is no longer the sleepy city that it was once known to be. In truth, Adelaide has the largest number of restaurants per capita, and it does not have a shortage of sprawling shopping malls and shopping arcades with the most beautiful architecture.

The cruise industry in Adelaide experienced a growth in the recent decade, resulting in a boom for the local economy. Shopping malls expanded and extended their operating hours. Fine dining and casual restaurants cropped up everywhere, farmer’s markets thrived and the wine industry became one of the beloved local tourism magnets. The coastal city is a popular cruise destination. In fact, the cruise port hosted 65 ship calls just this last season of 2017-2018, and the 2019-2020 season is scheduled to handle 85 ship calls.

Living in the only city that was not built as a colony for convicts, residents of Adelaide are quite proud that their land was founded through legal sales. Adelaide also hosts some of the world’s finest and most diverse festivals such as the Adelaide Fringe , Adelaide Festival and the WOMAdelaide . The festivals are a showcase of arts, culture, diversity, nature and origin.

Adelaide experiences four seasons with weather that is similar to that of the Mediterranean. They have warm and sunny summers with low humidity from December to February. Temperature can rise up to 40 degrees Celsius with sparse rainfall. However, normal temperature ranges from 16.7 degrees to 28.6 degrees Celsius. Autumn covers March to May where the city and towns are transformed to hues of gold, red, orange and yellow. Temperature is lower at 12.7 degrees to 22.7 degrees Celsius.

Snow during winter is rare, but rainfall occurs more often during the months of June to August. The temperature drops down to 16 degrees Celsius and can drop even further to 8 degrees Celsius. It gets even colder in the Adelaide Hills where they occasionally get frost and slight dustings of snow. Spring occurs from September to November where temperature rises up to 11.8 degrees Celsius or up to 22 degrees Celsius. Rainfall once again becomes sparse, but the nights are ruled by crisp and cold air.

Cruise Ship Schedule

Cruise ships dock at Port Adelaide Outer Harbour. It is very accessible, being only 12 miles or 19 kilometres from the city. Cruising season is from October through March, which falls on summer. Pack and dress accordingly and take temperature and sunshine into account.

Here are cruises scheduled to arrive at and depart from Adelaide from October 2019 to March 2025. Schedules are subject to change, but you may click on a live view of the ship location and bridge cam.

Here is another list of cruises set to arrive at and depart from Adelaide for the rest of the year.

There are several types of cruises that arrive at or depart from Adelaide:

World Cruise

Luxury liners offer world voyages that arrive at and depart from the port of Adelaide. A full-length trip can have an itinerary that lasts for more than a hundred days or up to four months. Australia is a mid-itinerary destination for a cruise that departs from Southampton, United Kingdom.

Smaller and shorter world cruises can take up to 40 days or more on a westbound trip to Asia or the US through Hawaii. Eastbound trips head to South Africa or the Mediterranean coast.

World cruises are offered by Cunard, Cruise Maritime, Princess and P&O.

Circle Australia

Cruises that will take tourists on a trip to circumnavigate the continent of Australia are quite rare but worth it. Tourists will have a choice between an Australia to Asia or an Australia to New Zealand cruise.

Mini Cruise

If one is pressed for time and can only afford to get on a short-break cruise, consider 4-day cruises that that arrive at Port Lincoln, Adelaide, or head to Melbourne.

Cruise to Nowhere

Cruises that focus on the experience rather than the journey and destination are also offered in Adelaide. These cruises are usually themed but do not embark on any ports of call. These are popular for events such as parties, company-sponsored events, meetings, concerts, and food and wine tastings. Some popular themes are arts and music, culinary and gastronomy, comedy, dating, and sports and wellness.

Repositioning Cruises

These types of cruises have a different embarkation and disembarkation port. This is more popular for people who are migrating, going home, or adventurers who are looking to stay in one country for a longer period of time. Long-distance repositioning cruises usually come from Asia and end in Australian ports. Some short-distance cruises, which can last for a week, will make stops at coastal cities such as Adelaide, Brisbane, Fremantle, Melbourne or Sydney. Some lucky travellers may even find themselves on a repositioning cruise that visits Kangaroo Island and Esperance.

Adelaide Central Market

Food and Drink

If you ever crave a snack after all that shopping, head over to Norwood Parade and Magill Road. Only ten minutes from the city via car ride, you can shop ’til you drop at over 250 retail stores, specialty shops, boutiques and antique stores. Then proceed to wine and dine at some of the most popular restaurants, diners and quaint cafes.

The Adelaide Central Market is also a favourite for a relaxed food shopping experience. Get the freshest produce and some of the most coveted selections of cheese, honey, flavoured oils and gin all in one morning walk.

Hole-in-the-wall, side-street, and laneway bars and restaurants dominate the dining culture of Adelaide. In this city, you will always find a good place to eat or have a few drinks. Go ahead and explore—you can even ask some of the locals for the best places in town.

The Barossa Valley is home to the best wines and some of the greatest vineyards. Plan a trip whether via tour or an arranged visit to any of the wineries and vineyards located at the hills. Wine tastings are a must and dining with a good bottle of Shiraz or Pinot Noir is tradition.

Venture further if you time to experience the raw beauty of the Outback. Adelaide is the capital city of South Australia and the fifth-largest city in Australia, with a population of 1.23 million. Adelaide is north of the Fleurieu Peninsula, on the Adelaide Plains between the Gulf St Vincent and the low-lying Mount Lofty Ranges which surround the city. The city stretches 20 km (12 miles) from the coast to the foothills, and 90 km (56 miles) from Gawler at its northern extent to Sellicks Beach in the south. Named in honour of Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, queen consort to King William IV, the city was founded in 1836 as the planned capital for a freely settled British province in Australia. Colonel William Light, one of Adelaide's founding fathers, designed the city and chose its location close to the River Torrens in the area originally inhabited by the Kaurna people. Light's design set out Adelaide in a grid layout, interspaced by wide boulevards and large public squares, and entirely surrounded by parkland. "Light's Vision", as it has been termed, has meant that the initial design of Adelaide required little modification as the settlement grew and prospered. Early Adelaide was shaped by religious freedom and a commitment to political progressivism and civil liberties, which led to the moniker "City of Churches". As South Australia's seat of government and commercial centre, Adelaide is the site of many governmental and financial institutions. Most of these are concentrated in the city centre along the cultural boulevard of North Terrace, King William Street and in various districts of the metropolitan area. Today, Adelaide is noted for its many festivals and sporting events, its food, wine and culture, its long beachfronts, and its large defence and manufacturing sectors. It ranks highly in terms of liveability, being listed in the Top 10 of The Economist's World's Most Liveable Cities index in 2010, 2011 and 2012. Prior to its proclamation as a British settlement in 1836, the area around Adelaide was inhabited by the indigenous Kaurna Aboriginal nation. South Australia was officially proclaimed as a new British colony on 28 December 1836, near The Old Gum Tree in what is now the suburb of Glenelg North. The event is commemorated in South Australia as Proclamation Day. Adelaide was established as a planned colony of free immigrants, promising civil liberties and freedom from religious persecution, based upon the ideas of Edward Gibbon Wakefield. Wakefield had read accounts of Australian settlement while in prison in London for attempting to abduct an heiress, and realised that the eastern colonies suffered from a lack of available labour, due to the practice of giving land grants to all arrivals. Wakefield's idea was for the Government to survey and sell the land at a rate that would maintain land values high enough to be unaffordable for labourers and journeymen. Funds raised from the sale of land were to be used to bring out working class emigrants, who would have to work hard for the monied settlers to ever afford their own land. As a result of this policy, Adelaide does not share the convict settlement history of other Australian cities like Sydney, New South Wales; Brisbane, Queensland and Hobart, Tasmania. As it was believed that in a colony of free settlers there would be little crime, no provision was made for a gaol in Colonel Light's 1837 plan. However, by mid-1837 the South Australian Register was warning of escaped convicts from New South Wales, and tenders for a temporary gaol were sought. Following a burglary, a murder, and two attempted murders in Adelaide during March 1838, Governor Hindmarsh created the South Australian Police Force (now named South Australia Police) in April 1838 under 21-year-old Henry Inman. Adelaide has a warm Mediterranean climate where most of the rain falls in the winter months. Rainfall is unreliable, light and infrequent throughout summer. In contrast, the winter has fairly reliable rainfall with June being the wettest month of the year, averaging around 80 mm, frosts occur only occasionally. Hail is also common in winter, though snowfall in the metropolitan area is uncommon, except for very light falls at Mount Lofty and some places in the Adelaide Hills.

    How long does it take to get into the city centre from the port

The Port Adelaide Passenger Terminal is on Oliver Rogers Road at Outer Harbor. Outer Harbor is a north-western suburb of Adelaide, South Australia, 22km from the Adelaide city centre. It is adjacent to Osborne, North Haven and Pelican Point. The journey will take around 30 minutes.

    How can i get into the city centre.

The primary form of public transport to Outer Harbor is the Outer Harbor railway line which connects the area to the centre of the City of Adelaide. The terminus of this line is the Outer Harbor station, situated next to the North Haven Golf Course and the Port Adelaide Passenger Terminal. One bus route services the area, the 330, a loop service connecting with other bus services in neighbouring North Haven. The Outer Harbor train station is located 200 metres from the passenger terminal building – a new walkway has been created to make it easy and safe for passengers to walk with their luggage from the terminal to the train station.

    What things are there to see or visit close to the port.

The National Railway Museum is close to the port. Take a journey into railway history at the National Railway Museum, Australia's largest railway museum with over 100 exhibits representing State, Commonwealth and private railway operators on the three major rail gauges used in Australia. Just 10km from the cruise terminal.

    I believe that Glenelg is a great place to visit, how can i get there?

Yes, its a beach side suburb of Adelaide and you can easily get there from the city centre by tram.

What you say ...

Just loved all the shopping along Rundle Mall, then took the tram out to Glenelg, what a great city.

To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link.

Stornoway is a port town on Isle of Lewis, part of Scotland's Outer Hebrides (Western Isles). The town has population around 8,000, ranking it biggest in the Hebrides. Stornoway is a major seaport of Outer Hebrides, serving both passenger ships ( ferries and cruise liners) and cargo ships.

Stornoway harbour houses small shipyard, slipway (boat ramp), boat marina (with yacht moorings), 3 large docking piers (for commercial ships), Stornoway Lifeboat Station (run by Royal National Lifeboat Institution). Here is homeported a large fishing fleet and Tom Sanderson (lifeboat). HMCG (UK coastguard) operates the Maritime Rescue Sub Centre is also housed in the harbour area.

In 2007, were proposed plans for building an undersea tunnel between Harris and Lewis and mainland Scotland (Stornoway- Ullapool ). One of the possible routes would be over 40 mi (60 km) long - ranking it the world's longest road tunnel.

The annual Hebridean Celtic Festival (HebCelt) is a 4-day event in July attracting over 10,000 tourists. Black pudding is a popular gourmet dish with PGI status - granted by European Commission to prevent puddings produced elsewhere to be marketed as "Stornoway". Stornoway is best known for Harris Tweed Hebrides (UK's main producer of the fabric), Callanish Stones (5000-years-old arrangement of standing stones), Lewis Chessmen (12th-century chess pieces carved from walrus ivory), Gearrannan Blackhouse Village (Holiday accommodation complex), also some of the UK's/world's most picturesque beaches. The town's most notable buildings include Lews Castle, Stornoway Town Hall, Lewis War Memorial, Lewis Loom Centre, Lanntair (modern art centre with gallery, auditorium, bar, restaurant).

In 2017, the cruise port handled a total of 43 ship calls. In 2019 were handled 57 ship calls and ~16,500 cruise tourists, arriving mostly on smaller-sized vessels. Maiden port calls in 2019 made Queen Victoria ( Cunard ), Hanseatic Nature ( Hapag-Lloyd ), Le Champlain ( Ponant ), Zuiderdam ( Holland America ), AIDAaura ( AIDA ), Crystal Serenity ( Crystal Ocean ), Star Pride ( Windstar ).

In February 2021, Stornoway Port Authority received GBP 48,6 million (~EUR 56.6M / ~USD 66,75M) for building a new deepwater cruise terminal with capacity to handle even the world's largest passenger ships (with max LOA length 360 m / 1181 ft and max draught 10 m / 33 ft). Works on the new facility started in April 2022 and were initially scheduled for completion in May 2023, but the inauguration was eventually postponed to 2024. The new Deep Water Terminal also allows homeporting operations as Stornoway is a good departure port for ex-UK itineraries to Iceland and the Faroes. The port is also an overnight crossing to/from Belfast , Greenock-Glasgow , Invergordon and Kirkwall .

Stornoway cruise terminal

Ferries and cruise ships to Lewis and Harris Island dock at Stornoway - port town on the eastern coast. The ferry terminal is operated by CalMac Ferries - the largest ferry (passenger and vehicle shipping) operator between mainland Scotland and 22 large islands on the country's west coast.

Ferry port's address is "Ferry Terminal, Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, HS1 2AE". Passenger terminal's opening hours are:

• (Winter months) Monday to Friday (5:45 am - 7 am / 9 am - 5 pm), Saturday (9 am - 2:30 pm) and Sunday (12-midnight - 2:30 pm).
• (Summer months) Monday to Friday (5:45 am - 7 am / 9 am - 5 pm), Saturday (5:45 am - 7 am. / 9 am - 3:30 pm) and Sunday (6:45 am - 8 am / 12-midnight - 3 pm).

CalMac Ferries between Stornoway and Ullapool offer 3 daily crossings, with travel time 2,5 hours.

New cruise berth Pier 3 (Deep Water Terminal)

In 2018, Stornoway Port Authority started tendering for the design of a new (ferry and cruise-dedicated) berth with capacity to serve world's biggest passenger ships . The design project was completed in May 2019. Construction works were planned to start in December 2019, with scheduled completion by June 2022. However, due to the COVID crisis, the project was postponed to 2022-2024.

On April 12, 2022, Stornoway Port Authority awarded a GBP 49 million (EUR 56,6M) construction contract to McLaughlin & Harvey (1853-founded building and civil engineering company). The Deep Water Terminal (multi-purpose facility) was scheduled to be ready and operational for season 2024.

The new cruise terminal is at Pier 3 (downtown Stornoway) and also serves the Stornoway-Ullapool ferries . The ferry terminal building provides modern amenities (including WCs, free Wi-Fi, information, tour booking, car rentals, etc) for both cruise and ferry passengers. Tourists are greeted by a voluntary group of Stornoway Cruise Ambassadors who provide complimentary maps, info and advice on the region's most popular activities.

Before the port development 2022-24 (Deep Water Terminal), the cruise port had capacity to handle only ships with max LOA length 156 m (512 ft). Larger vessels were anchored and their passengers were transported/ferried ashore via the ship's tender boats. The new deepwater quay allows berthing of liners with max LOA length 360 m (1181 ft), which results in bigger annual cruise shipping traffic (up to 40 vessels) and increased tourist numbers, meaning more revenues to the Outer Hebrides economy.
