A view of Port Kralendijk Bonaire from a rooftop

Kralendijk, Bonaire

Almost as soon as you pull into the port of Kralendijk, you’ll realize it’s one of the most laid-back landings around. Though there are some colorful streets to stroll nearby—remnants (mostly) of Bonaire’s Dutch-colonial era—even the busiest lack the bustle of other Caribbean capitals. Which is a good thing. The comparative sleepiness helps maintain the island’s chief attributes: legendarily pristine wilderness, both above and below the surface; mangroves full of baby fish; and salt flats full of flamingos. And reefs full of . . . everything. Nature’s cup overfloweth here. And, by the way, so will yours (have the cactus liqueur even if you try no other local beverage). There’s also an embarrassment of cultural riches, thanks to the layers of Amerindian, Spanish, African, Dutch and British influences on the island. In fact, you’ll hear traces of the languages of all of the above (plus some French and Portuguese) during any given conversation in Papiamento, the creole language spoken throughout the Netherlands Antilles. You'll find you can get by just fine with a few key phrases: por fabor , danki and bon dia —all of which mean exactly what you think they do.

  • Things To Do

Bonaire is an island nation in the Southern Caribbean that was twice “discovered” — once by the Spanish and once by the Dutch — and was until recently part of the Netherlands Antilles. Its far-flung history may be all over the map… but you’ll find the island itself located just right. Also just right is the climate — the annual average is 81.5° F — so you’ll have plenty of reasons to spend time outdoors. When in the water, diving and snorkeling happen to be some of the best ways to see the reef surrounding the island… but they’re also great for cooling off.

  • Enjoy world-class snorkeling in crystal-clear water among coral reefs that line the coasts of Bonaire.
  • Tour Lac Bay National Park aboard a powerboat — the park is one of the best-preserved mangrove forests in the Caribbean.
  • See the salt beds in Pekelmeer, also home to thousands of pink flamingoes.

Bonaire Cruise Port: Your Comprehensive Guide

Welcome to the Bonaire cruise port, where your unforgettable adventure begins! In this ultimate guide, we’ll navigate you through the ins and outs of this captivating Caribbean destination, focusing on all things “Bonaire cruise port.”

Arrival at Bonaire Cruise Port

Cruise ships gracefully dock at one of two primary piers in Bonaire. The northern cruise dock, conveniently positioned in the heart of Kralendijk, and the southern pier, just a short stroll from the bustling main street, offer easy access to a plethora of restaurants and shops—all within walking distance of the port.

Taxis at Bonaire Cruise Port

For your convenience, taxis await you at the Bonaire cruise terminal. While these taxis do not employ meters, government-regulated rates ensure fair pricing. Always agree on the fare before your journey. Typically, a taxi ride costs approximately $25 per person for a two-hour excursion, never exceeding $25 for a one-way trip to any corner of the island.

Retail Therapy Near Bonaire Cruise Port

Though not renowned as a shopping haven, Bonaire still offers retail experiences worth exploring. Peruse the local outdoor market located right by the cruise docks. For more shopping options, venture to Kaya Grand, the island’s main street in Kralendijk. Both of these shopping locales are conveniently situated just a short walk from the Bonaire cruise port.

Watertaxi to Klein Bonaire

If you’re yearning for your own private island escape, don’t miss the opportunity to hop on a water taxi to Klein Bonaire, a picturesque islet just off the coast of Kralendijk. Departure is from the “It Rains Fishes” restaurant—precise details can be found on our map. The water taxi schedule offers flexibility with departures to Klein Bonaire at 10 am, 12 noon, and 2 pm, and returns to Bonaire at 12.30 pm, 02.30 pm, and 04.30 pm. This delightful round trip experience will cost you approximately $15 per person. Since Klein Bonaire is an uninhabited island, be sure to pack towels, drinks, sunscreen, and any other essentials for your day in paradise.

Exploration on Wheels

For land-based adventures, consider renting a bicycle, scooter, or car from Rento Fun Drive, conveniently located on Kaya Grandi 47, the main street in Kralendijk. Rates are approximately $10 for a bicycle, $30 for a scooter, and $40 for a car.

Washington Slagbaai National Park

Heading to the northern part of the island, you’ll find the awe-inspiring Washington Slagbaai National Park. It’s a scenic 30 to 45-minute drive from the Bonaire cruise dock, with an entrance fee of $25 per person. The park is renowned for its hiking trails and exciting 4×4 vehicle tours.

Beaches Near Bonaire Cruise Port

Near the Bonaire cruise port, you’ll discover the inviting Divi Flamingo Beach Resort & Casino, just a 10-minute walk to the south. Here, you can indulge in snorkeling, casino fun, and a pristine beach. Expect a chair fee of $5 to $10.

Sorobon Beach, often considered the island’s crown jewel, is a breezy 15-minute taxi ride from the Bonaire cruise dock, priced around $20. This beach is a haven for windsurfing due to its shallow waters, and it also offers snorkeling, massages, and swimming. Chairs are typically available for around $5 each.

Exploration at Your Fingertips

Within walking distance of the cruise terminal, you can explore Kaya Grandi, Fort Oranje, and more.

For those eager to venture farther, consider these attractions:

  • Washington-Slagbaai National Park
  • 1,000 Steps Beach

Essential guide to Bonaire cruise port in Kralendijk: where cruise ships dock, how to get around, things to do, shore excursions, dining, and all you must know

By: Editor-in-Chief Update: May 28, 2023

Bonaire is the B on the island trio known as ABC - Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao. These island have a lot in common but cruise passengers shouldn't infer that if you “have seen one you have seen them all”.

The three islands are located off the coast of Venezuela and are all part of the Kingdom or Netherlands (or Holland, as many call this small European country) but all have very distinct aspects and completely different ambiance.

Bonaire is the smallest of the ABC trio and until recently the forgotten Island in the South Caribbean itineraries. Scarcely populated (around 19,000 inhabitants in an area 6 times the size of Manhattan) with a small capital with only 3,000 inhabitants, Bonaire's natural wonders and laid-back ambiance are main tractions to enjoy and discover on a cruise in the Caribbean.

Kralendijk (Bonaire) - Port of call

Scuba Diving and Snorkeling, beach activities, and a couple of usual cultural attractions and landmarks are the top highlights of Bonaire. More about Top Things To do and See Below.

For decades, Bonaire was not regularly visited by mega-ships of major cruise lines like Royal Caribbean, Carnival or NCL. But in recent years Bonaire has been 'discovered' and now there are many cruises calling at the port of Kralendijk both on south and western Caribbean itineraries.

Cruise ships dock in one of two piers on a wide bay on the Southern part of the West coast of the island of Bonaire, right by Kralendijk the main city and capital of the island known as:

  • Southern Pier
  • Northern Pier

The two piers are suited to moor up to three cruise ships, although only very seldom this happens. If there are two cruise ships docking, the larger one will always moor on the Southern Pier and the smaller on the Northern Pier.

Northern pier

The northern pier is perpendicular to the coast, just over 200 feet long, with the exit gates opening directly into a pedestrian street right in front of the Wilhelmina Park. This pier is next to the Old Fort and very close to the Sea Promenade (a long and beautiful street along the coast) and Kaya Grandi one block behind, which is the main shopping street of Kralendijk.

Southern pier and terminal

The Southern Pier aka New Pier is parallel to the coast and to get to the main street the cruise traveler will have to walk through a well maintained, small cruise terminal.

This open-air shopping complex is known as Harborside Mall. Naturally, it is always a delight to walk down the gangway right into the city center but even when docked at the Southern Pier the cruise passenger is at less than 300 feet (100 meters) from the start of the Plaza Wilhelmina and the Sea Promenade officially known as Kaya J. N. E. Craane.

Southern Pier Terminal

Regardless of where cruise ship docks, the cruise traveler will always be within walking distance of all main attractions in Kralendijk and with all major services to explore on your own just a stone's throw away. Very close to both cruise piers you will find the following:

  • The official tourist office
  • Local tours operators
  • Scuba diving operators

Terramar Museum

  • Restaurants

Cruise travelers may have read elsewhere that there is third docking spot in Kralendijk known as Ro-Ro Pier - this is, in fact, an inshore ramp not used by cruise ships.

Due to the proximity of the cruise piers to Kralendijk, walking is undoubtedly the best way to explore this beautiful, small and quaint Caribbean capital. It is easy and affordable to travel farther in the Island, be it to spend the day on one of the many, small and secluded beaches, or to discover the island's attractions. Most of the population working directly with tourists speak good English, are very helpful but not pushy.

Taxis by the Pier

Taxis are affordable, in good shape, with AC and available next to the exit gates of both the Northern and Southern Piers.

Shuttle and Public Buses

Considering that cruise ship dock next to Kralendijk, there is no need for a shuttle. Bonaire does not have Public Buses although there are private services that cruise travelers will find complicated to navigate.

Car, scooter and bicycle rental

The cruise traveler contemplating the idea of exploring the island at leisure may look into renting a car, a scooter or a bicycle. Any of these can be fun and allow great independence.

Car rentals, scooters, and bicycles are available within walking distance of both piers. Keep in mind that driving is on the right and that the island does NOT have stoplights. Maximum speed in towns is 25 mph (40 km/h) and 35 mph (60 km/h) outside the urban areas.

Water taxi to Klein Bonaire

Photo of Water-Taxi in Kralendijk Bonaire Cruise Port

Water-Taxi to Klein Bonaire

For the cruise passenger planing to explore Klein Bonaire (a major highlight for scuba diving and snorkeling) there are water taxis within walking distance of the piers.

Until a few years ago there were two different operators in two different spots. But for the last couple of years only one is operational - north of the Northern Pier, no more than 500 feet (150 meters), next to the famous Karels Beach Bar.

Things to do on a cruise to Bonaire

Considering that the Island is small - 38 km long and between 5 and 8 km wide), the cruise passenger can easily explore all the major attractions in Bonaire on a day docked at Kralendijk. Known as one of the Top Scuba diving sites in the World, and promoted as such to exhaustion, many cruisers not interested in diving or snorkeling frequently wonder what else to do or see. The good news is that there is a good number of interesting attractions to explore and discover besides the ones found underwater.

Scuba and snorkeling

For those interested in oceanic wonders, Bonaire is paradise underwater. All the waters surrounding the island, including the coral reef, sea-grass and mangroves are in fact a protected National Park . Scuba diving and snorkeling with local operators is, obviously a perfect way to do it. But there are other ways to explore this pristine beauty of Bonaire's crystal clear waters - on a water taxi to Klein Bonaire to snorkel, on a semi-submarine or on a glass bottom boat.

Beaches and active pursuits

If you prefer above water sports, Windsurfing at Jibe City, Kayaking, Kite-surfing, Sailing or Fishing are top activities to enjoy in Bonaire.

With over 20 beaches in Bonaire, there is a handful of famous spots like the 1000 Steps Beach , No Name Beach in Kein Bonaire, Playa Palu di Mangel , Sorobon Beach or Te Amo Beach .

Within walking distance, the Divi Flamingo Resort (400 meters south of the Southern Pier ) is a nice spot to enjoy a day on the beach. Not far from the Northern Pier (1.3 miles - 2 km) the Spice Beach Club of the Eden Resort is another good option.

Check the folowing websites to find out more about what to do on your own:

  • Windsurfing in Jibe City
  • Kite Boarding
  • Kite School
  • Divi Flamingo Resort
  • Bon-Sea Semi-submarine

Besides the water-related activities, the cruise passenger has other options. Have in mind that most attractions are in a way scenic and/or ecologically oriented. The island is known for its salt production and a visit to the flat salt pans, ponds, and shop (La Placita) is included in many tours of Bonaire. The sites where the salt is produced have become such an attraction that the Bonaire Salt Park is expected to open sometime in 2018.

Flamingo spotting

Flamingo spotting is another major attraction. The Pekelmeer Flamingo Sanctuary is by the Salt Ponds and you may be able to spot them at a distance. But Flamingo spotting is one of the main reason to visit the Washington Slagbaai National Park . On this wonderful sanctuary, the cruise visitor will also have the opportunity to learn about the endemic species of Bonaire like parakeets, iguanas, sea turtles and many other species of birds and reptiles.

Natural wonders

For those interested in mother nature's travails, the Echo's Conservation Centre is an attraction to check and so is the Mangrove Center . You may have read ravishing reviews about the Butterfly Garden but be aware that this has been closed for some time. However, the even more famous Donkey Sanctuary is very much open and can be fun especially for those traveling with young ones.

Cultural attractions

On the cultural side, a visit to Ricon (the oldest settlement of Bonaire) is a must do. This small village has a few landmarks not to be missed like the Gruta Lourdes (a pilgrimage site), the Catholic Church (opened in 1837) and the Protestant Church (opened in 1934), the Bonaire Heritage Foundation and the Cadushy Distillery , where the cruise passenger can taste the world's only liqueur made from cactus. Close by, there are small, secluded and scenic beaches but not all are suitable for swimming.

Kralendijk landmarks

Kralendijk is such a small town that all top attractions can be easily explored on foot and is a delight to walk. Landmarks like the Fort Orange and lighthouse, the Queen Wilhelmina Plaza or the Government Office Building are impossible to miss.

Shops and shopping in Kralendijk

On Kaya Grandi - Kralendjik's main shopping street - the cruise visitorwill find some shops but don't expect to find the typical and ubiquitous ones found all over the Caribbean. Certainly, Bonaire is not a shoppers paradise like the sister islands of Aruba and Curacao.

Although located in the center of Kralendijk, the one attraction that is not self-evident is the Terramar Museum . If you don't spot it straight away do ask for directions - this small museum is really worth a visit as it will take you on a journey through 7,000 years of Caribbean history.

Bonaire tours, cruise and shore excursions

As much as there are lots of nice and easy things to do on your own when calling at the port of Bonaire, all cruise lines and independent local tour operators offer excellent shore excursions , which cruise passengers should consider. In particular the tours to sites that will be advantageous to have a knowleadgable guide.

Obviously, all cruise lines offer many and diverse shore excursions in Bonaire (Kralendijk) cruise port. Celebrity Cruises offers as many 44 shore excursions and Royal Caribbean has 49 cruise excursions . Carnival lists 23 shore excursions . Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has available 22 shore excursions . Oceania Cruises organizes 14 shore excursions , Holland America offers 19 cruise excursions , and Princess has 29 excursions available.

Besides the cruise excursions organized by cruise liens, there are also shore excursions and tours offered by the following reputable private online services:

  • Tours by Locals
  • Shore Trips
  • Shore Excursions Group
  • Shore Excursioneer

Kralendijk is also a delight for those, like the Editor, that enjoy local, fresh food with a gourmet touch. There are many excellent restaurants in town and a few bars with stunning settings to enjoy a cocktail, the local Polar Beer or a smoothie.

Regardless of being criticized as over expensive, Karels Beach Bar has unquestionably the best location in Kralendijk. Not far, the restaurant It Rains Fishes is a gourmet delight with impeccable service.

Karels Beach Bar

Whatever you choose to see and do in Bonaire, it is easy and affordable to explore the Island on your own. With just a couple of streets to meander, Kralendijk is a jewel not to be missed, which is very for comfortable for disabled travelers. For those that wish to explore different sights and tractions, it is advisable to book a tour or an excursion.

Tourist Information

Photo of the Tourist Information Office in Kralendijk, Bonaire Cruise Port

The Tourist Information Office in Kralendijk

You will find Tourist Information Kiosks near the exit gates of the Cruise Piers but these tend to close early (after most passengers exit the ship). If you find the kiosks too busy or closed, the main (and larger) Tourism Office is located behind the Protestant Church on Wilhelmina Square, right at the start of Kaya Grandi.

Bonaire Tourist Office Map

English is widely spoken in all tourist areas and tractions. However, the official languages of Bonaire are Dutch and Papiamento. The latter is a traditional language derived from African and Portuguese dialects also influenced by Spanish, Dutch and English. Papiamento is very different from the Creole and Patois spoken in other Caribbean Islands.

Money matters: currency

The official legal tender in Bonaire is the US Dollar. The USD has been adopted since January 1, 2011. All major credit cards are widely accepted, with exception of American Express that is not as ubiquitous. The cruise passenger will find useful to have cash for small purchases like souvenirs, taxis and tipping. You can cash money easily in Bonaire.

Banks and ATM: There are many Banks, most with ATM's, in Kralendijk. All within walking distance from the Cruise Piers like the RBC, Girobank Bonaire or Banco di Caribe (on Kaya Grandi - the main shopping street). The easiest ATM to find is next to the main entrance of the Tourism Office, at the start of Kaya Grandi. Banks are open between 8AM and 4PM

Safety, US travel advisory and basics

For comprehensive and updated information about traveling to Bonaire see the U.S. Department of State website page evolving advisory.

Covid-19 advise for cruises to Bonaire (Kralendijk)

For updated coronavirus (Covid-19) information and travel advice to Bonaire (Kralendijk) cruise port visit the website of the U.S. Consulate in Curacao . For more Traveler's Health advice to Bonaire see the CDC Website .

Although Bonaire cannot be considered a completely off-the-beaten-track cruise port, not all cruise lines include it in their itineraries. Cunard, Viking or MSC, for example, do not have any call scheduled for the next couple of years. Cruise lines like Azamara, Crystal, Disney, Fred Olson, Regent, Seabourn, Silversea only call at the port in Kralendijk sporadically, on re-positioning cruises or on an exceptional itinerary.

By contrast, major cruise lines - Carnival, Celebrity, Holland & America, P & O, Princess, and RCI - have many itineraries visiting Bonaire between the months of October and as late as May. NCL (with the Norwegian Breakaway, Norwegian Dawn, and Norwegian Jade) also calls a few times and so does Oceania (Insignia and Riviera).

But if you would like to cruise on a ship calling at Bonaire, these are the cruise lines and ships which regularly call at the port of Kralendijk: Carnival (Sunshine and Victory), Celebrity (Eclipse, Equinox, Reflection and Silhouette), Costa Magica, Holland & America (ms Eurodam, ms Koningsdam, ms Nieuw Amsterdam, and ms Zuiderdam), P&O (Britannia), Princess (Crown, Regal and Royal) and Royal Caribbean (Adventure Of The Seas, Freedom Of The Seas, Navigator Of The Seas and Serenade Of The Seas).

Finally, it should be noted that the German cruise lines Aida and Mein Schiff also call frequently at Bonaire, the British Marella has a few itineraries including Bonaire and the Spanish Pullmantur Monarch visits Kralendijk almost every week.

Preparing for the Upcoming 2023-2024 Cruise Season

by Tanya Deen for the Bonaire Insider | Oct 30, 2023 | Activities , Local News , Tourism Announcements

Cruise ship visiting Bonaire

The annual Cruise Town Hall Meeting took place last week for the 2023-2024 Cruise Season.

Last week, Tourism Corporation Bonaire (TCB) organized its annual Cruise Town Hall Meeting in collaboration with the Bonaire Government and Harbor Office. This gathering brought together key stakeholders from the cruise sector, including taxi services, vendors, travel agents, tour operators, booking agents, and representatives from the local tourism industry, marking the beginning of the 2023-2024 cruise season in Bonaire.

Discussions during the meeting.

During the meeting, participants engaged in in-depth discussions on various topics, including the performance of the previous cruise season (2022-2023), the “One Call Policy,” first calls, training opportunities, cruise trade show participation, agreements with cruise partners, and more.

The stakeholders were also informed of the implementation of the “One Call Policy” which was introduced by the government of Bonaire in 2021. An update was provided on the dates when there will be two cruise ships in port due to previously confirmed bookings. Note that cruise lines confirm their cruise schedules up to 3 years in advance. Additionally, starting from January 2023, the new head tax was introduced with a change in fee (head tax) of $3.50 to $10 per cruise visitor.

In 2022, Bonaire welcomed 304,563 visitors from 165 ships, and by the end of September 2023, the island had received 341,070 visitors from 123 ships.

Initiatives for the local population.

The meeting also highlighted initiatives introduced for the local population such as the “behind the scenes tours” for more than 100 MBO VMBO students on the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line ships as part of the signed MOU of 2022. Furthermore, 100+ local children had the opportunity to discover the Carnival Celebration ship and experience a day on board.

The 2023-2024 season, Bonaire has scheduled a total of +/-186 cruise ships. New season first calls include Celebrity Beyond on November 19, 2023, Explora I on November 30, 2023, Norwegian Viva on January 9, 2024, and Emerald Azzurra on February 21, 2024.

Additionally, there is a new project called “Arts and Crafts Pop Up” which will allow locals to sell handmade products at a “pop-up” location in Wilhelmina Park, promoting community participation and market growth.

Cruise Schedule for the 2023-2024 season

InfoBonaire has a dedicated cruise ship page that shows which cruise ship to expect and is updated weekly during the high season. There is also a FAQ page for any cruise-related questions that you may have.

Moscow cruise port

Region Russia Rivers

Local Time 2024-04-19 02:55

Moscow is a Volga River cruise port, Russia's capital and largest city (population over 12,2 million, metro 17 million). Moscow City covers a total area of approx 2610 km 2 (970 mi2). By population, the city is ranked the world's 14th largest. Moscow is one of the Russian Federation's all 3 federal cities - together with St Petersburg and Sevastopol .

Being Russian Federation's capital, Moscow is a major economic, political, scientific and cultural center, as well as Europe's biggest city.

According to Forbes 2013, Moscow has been ranked as the 9th most expensive city in the world by Mercer and has one of the largest urban economies, being ranked as an alpha global city according to Globalization and World Cities Research Network. It is also one of the fastest-growing tourist destinations in the world according to MasterCard Global Destination Cities Index. Moscow is the northernmost and the coldest megacity and metropolis on the Earth. It's home to Ostankino Tower, the tallest free-standing European structure; the Federation Tower, the tallest European skyscraper; and the Moscow International Business Center. 

Moscow is situated on Moskva River in the Central Federal District of European Russia, which makes it the most populated inland city in the world. Moscow city is well known for architecture, particularly its historic buildings like Saint Basil's Cathedral. With over 40% of its territory covered by greenery, it's one of the greenest capitals and major cities in Europe and the world. Moscow is the seat of power of the Russian Government, being the site of Moscow Kremlin, a medieval city-fortress that is now the residence of the President of Russia. Moscow Kremlin and Red Square are among the several World Heritage Sites in the city. 

Moscow has 2 passenger terminals, North River Terminal (Rechnoy vokzal) and South River Terminal. The regular ship routes and cruises along Moskva and Oka rivers are used mostly for entertainment. North River Terminal (1937-built) is currently the main hub for long-range routes along the river. There are 3 freight ports that serve Moscow.

In late-July 2021 the city announced plans to incorporate a fleet (unspecified number) of fully electric passenger ferries into its public transportation network from summer 2022, the goal being to reduce the dependence on cars.

  • The boats are designed with length ~22 m (72 ft), passenger capacity 42, modern amenities (Wi-Fi, USB charging points, tables for working commuters), spaces for storing scooters and bicycles.
  • Moscow Transport confirmed that two routes (with max daily capacity ~16,000 passengers) have already been mapped out.
  • Passengers will be able to pay via bank cards, the city’s Troika card (smart card for travel by any public transportation) or biometric payment cards. Those with monthly/yearly public transit tickets will use the boats at no extra cost.
  • The new electric ferry service is up to 5 times faster (in comparison to other city public transports) and ~2 times faster than by car.

Moscow cruise terminal

Moscow's cruise terminal is called North River Terminal or River Station  ("Rechnoy Vokzal" / "речной вокзал").

The terminal was opened in 1937 and is one of 2 passenger terminals (the other being South River Terminal) of the city's river transport. North River Terminal is the main hub for long-range (including cruise) shipping routes. 

South River Terminal (above photo) was opened in 1985.
