What should Princess Cruises 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 Princess Cruises from near Gibraltar?
Yes. In 2027 Sun Princess sails Mediterranean voyages from Barcelona, among other ports, between April and November, and Sky Princess and Majestic Princess are based in Southampton from March for most of the year. Check current dates with Princess Cruises.
