What should Norwegian Cruise Line passengers know about Gibraltar?

Ships berth at the Gibraltar Cruise Terminal on the North Mole, about a 15-minute walk from Casemates Square and Main Street. Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory where English is the official language, and the currency is the pound sterling, so dollars are of little use; euros are widely accepted in shops but often at a less favourable rate, and cards are widely accepted. The cable car has been closed for a rebuild, so the Upper Rock, with its macaques, St Michael's Cave and the Great Siege Tunnels, is reached by taxi tour, minibus tour or on foot.

Can you sail with Norwegian Cruise Line from near Gibraltar?

Yes. Norwegian Cruise Line has announced that Norwegian Dawn will sail open-jaw voyages between Barcelona and Lisbon from May to October 2027. Its 2027 programme also includes Norwegian Prima sailing between Southampton and Reykjavik. Check current dates with Norwegian Cruise Line.
