Take advantage of local nightlife while your cruise is docked
When your ship is docked at a port for the night, you have the freedom to wander into local bars and stay out late into the night dancing away at nearby clubs. Booking an overnight port cruise is a simple tip, but it will make your cruise experience even better.
You’ll especially want to book an overnight port cruise when visiting cities famous for their parties. Barbara Muckerman, CEO of Silversea Cruises, revealed to Condé Nast Traveler, “We saw an uptick in passengers requesting port overnights, specifically in ports such as Barcelona and Rio de Janeiro, where there is a lively nightlife.” If you enjoy a lively nightlife scene, you’ll want to check that your itinerary is scheduled to stop overnight in ports like these where the nightlife is boisterous. If your cruise only makes longer stops in smaller coastal villages, you might not get exactly what you’re looking for.
Once you know where you’re stopping, be sure to set yourself up for success. Research the best spots, make some reservations, create a smart game plan, and find out your departure time. You never know where the night will take you, and, if you find yourself partying til daylight, you don’t want to miss takeoff!
