Moll Adossat cruise ship dock


Updated June 2024

Moll Adossat (in Catalan) (Muelle Adosado in Spanish) is the name of the cruise ship wharf or dock, where the biggest cruise ships dock in Barcelona. This is Barcelona's main cruise ship terminal on a long quay with has 5 cruise ship terminals for large cruise ships. Big cruise ships all dock at terminals A, B, C, D and E on Moll Adossat wharf/pier. Most of the terminals have cafes and restaurants, and all have a taxi rank.

Moll Adossat dock is quite close to the city center, but a 30 minute walk, depending on the terminal. The smaller cruise ships are on S Sud, which is a few minutes walk to Barcelona's medieval city (The docks N & M are already closed) From 2027 dock S Sud will also be closed and all cruise ships will dock at Moll Adossat where a new terminal G will be built.

No direct public transport link from Moll Adossat to Barcelona's city center or airport. There are no direct links from airport to cruise ships by train or bus shuttle to the city center or to the airport. Your options are on foot, taxi, private transfer or cruise bus shuttle.

Walking

Walking ashore from cruise ships on the Moll Adossat cruise ship terminals (A, B, C, D, E) takes about 30 minutes to arrive at the edge of the Cuitat Vella district (Barcelona’s medieval city). Walking ashore from cruise ships on the Moll Adossat all the Barcelona's downtown central square called Plaza Catalunya takes at least 45 minutes. So, while it is possible to walk, it's perhaps not very practical, especially with bags, so most Barcelona cruise ship passengers choose to take a taxi from the Moll Adossat terminals to the Barcelona city center - or to book a transfer or take the Cruisebus shuttle bus.
