Kuşadası Cruise Ship Schedule — October 2026 – December 2026
Every ship still to call at Ege Port, with the times it arrives and sails — and an honest answer to the question the timetable does not tell you: whether there is enough time ashore to see Ephesus and be back before all-aboard.
Showing October 2026 – December 2026 · 8 days already sailed and hidden
In short
Ephesus sits about 20 km from Ege Port Kuşadası, a drive of roughly 25 minutes each way, so a cruise passenger needs around six hours ashore to see the ancient city, the House of the Virgin Mary and stop for lunch — four to five hours covers Ephesus alone.111 ship calls are still to come at Ege Port, of which 25 leave enough time ashore for the day tour, spread across 20 days. Museum entrance is paid separately on site: Ephesus Ancient City costs €40 per person in 2026 and the House of the Virgin Mary about €14. TourThese runs the Ephesus day tour from Kuşadası port from the terminal itself with a private vehicle and a licensed English-speaking guide, timed to your ship's all-aboard rather than a fixed coach schedule.

Times are the port's scheduled arrival and departure. Hours ashore subtract disembarkation and the all-aboard call, which is typically 30 to 45 minutes before sailing — always check the time printed on your own boarding card, as ships adjust it.

Reading the Kuşadası cruise timetable
Each row is one port call: the ship, its cruise line, and the scheduled arrival and departure at Ege Port. 100 of the 111 calls still to come arrive before noon, which is what makes a same-day trip to Ephesus possible for most passengers. The lines calling most often in this period are Viking Cruises (28 calls), Celestyal Cruises (18 calls) and Aroya Cruises Saudi (8 calls). The busiest day ahead is 9 October 2026, with 4 ships in port — on days like that the road to Ephesus and the ticket gates are at their most crowded, so an early start matters more than usual.
To check a single date, find it in the day-by-day list above; a date that is missing has no cruise call on the port's schedule. The badge next to each ship is our reading of its time ashore, not the port's — "Tour fits" means about 6 hours or more once disembarkation and the all-aboard call are taken off.
Source: Ege Port Kuşadası published cruise schedule (kusadasicruiseport.com/schedule). Hours ashore allow 1.25 hours for disembarkation and the all-aboard call. Schedules change — confirm with your cruise line before you plan the day.
Found your ship
Ephesus, and back before all-aboard
A private vehicle from the terminal, a licensed English-speaking guide and lunch, from €29 per person with a minimum of two guests. Send us your ship and date and we confirm your all-aboard time in writing before you pay anything.
Ephesus is about 20 km from Ege Port, roughly 25 minutes by road each way. That short transfer is why a port call of six hours or more is comfortable for the full tour.
How much time ashore do I need for Ephesus?
Around six hours from the moment you step off the ship covers Ephesus, the House of the Virgin Mary and lunch, with the transfers and the all-aboard call accounted for. Four to five hours is enough for Ephesus on its own.
Where do I meet the guide after I get off the ship?
At the Starbucks by the cruise terminal. It is the landmark operators in the port meet at, which is why we use it — you do not have to find an unmarked car among the coaches. From there it is a few steps out to the vehicle, which waits in the lay-by just outside. Exact meeting details are confirmed in writing with your booking.
Will I get back before all-aboard?
We plan the return around your ship's all-aboard time, not ours, and confirm that time in writing before you book. On calls where the ship sails too early, we say so rather than rush the day.
Where does this Kuşadası cruise timetable come from?
From the port's own published schedule (Ege Port Kuşadası published cruise schedule (kusadasicruiseport.com/schedule)), last refreshed on 4 October 2026. We do not add or guess calls — if a ship is not on the port's list, it is not on ours. Cruise lines can still move a call or change the all-aboard time, so the time on your boarding card wins.
Are the museum entrance fees included?
No. Ephesus Ancient City is €40 per person in 2026 and the House of the Virgin Mary is about €14, both paid on site. The tour price covers the vehicle, the licensed guide and lunch.
