Tianjin International Cruise Home Port Transfer and Excursions
Tianjin Port is an international cruise
pier and important foreign commercial
port of China.
Tianjin International Cruise Home Port is the newest cruise ship terminal in Tianjin. Opened on June 26, 2010, the port has replaced the former Xingang Port for international cruise ships.
Location: The port is 170 km (106 miles) southeast of Beijing and 60 km (38 miles) east of Tianjin. It takes approximately 2–3 hours to drive from Beijing to the terminal, subject to local traffic conditions.
Cruise ships: As the only international cruise terminal in North China, the port at present can house two large cruise ships at the same time. Cruise companies Costa Cruises and Caribbean use the port. It has successfully hosted many luxury cruise ships, including Ocean Princess, Diamond Princess, Sydney Sun Princess, Queen Mary II, and Legends of the Seas.
Make a distinction between the international cruise port and Xingang Port Passenger Terminal: Located on reclaimed land 26 km from Xingang Port Passenger Terminal (which now serves as a domestic cruise terminal), the new terminal can be hard to find even for local drivers. So passengers should ensure they arrive at Tianjin International Cruise Home Port, not Xingang Passenger Terminal.
