Transfers from Palma Port: from the cruise ship to Mallorca with no waiting, with Virgui Bus
You step off the cruise ship in Palma, breathe in the Mediterranean air and think of only one thing: finally enjoying Mallorca. But between the ship and your first cocktail there's often a small obstacle that can spoil the start of your day — the logistics at the port.
Endless taxi queues, prices that change with the season, no idea where to wait, your group scattered and the suitcases pulling at your arm. The good news: there's a solution, and it's called Virgui Bus.
In this article we'll explain how cruise transfers in Mallorca work, why booking ahead makes all the difference, and everything you can do when you leave the boring part to the professionals.
You step off the ship and… now what?
The Port of Palma is one of the busiest in the Mediterranean. In high season, several cruise ships can dock on the same day — meaning thousands of passengers looking for transport all at once. The result: queues, waiting and rushing exactly when you want to relax.
You basically have three options when you disembark:
- Taxi on the spot — convenient if there's one available; pricey and with a queue if there isn't.
- Public transport — cheap, but slow and impractical with luggage and in a group.
- A transfer booked in advance — someone is waiting for you, knows your arrival time and takes you straight there. No surprises.
At Virgui Bus we go for the third option, because our mission is clear: your holiday should begin the very moment you step off the ship. No waiting, no hassle and a smile thrown in for free. 😎
From the ship straight to enjoying Mallorca
When you book your transfer with us, we wait for you at the agreed meeting point in the Port of Palma, help you with your luggage and take you wherever you need to go: your hotel, the airport, an excursion or that spot on the island you've been marking on the map for weeks.
We know the arrival and departure times of the cruise ships, so you don't have to worry about rushing: we're there when you need us. You just focus on enjoying — we take care of the rest.

Make the most of your stopover: what to see in Mallorca if you arrive by cruise
If your cruise makes a one-day stop in Palma, every minute counts. With a booked transfer you don't waste time and can make the most of the day. A few ideas depending on how many hours you have:
- A few hours: Palma's old town, the Cathedral of Mallorca (La Seu), the Passeig del Born and a good lunch by the sea.
- Half a day: a getaway to the Serra de Tramuntana, to villages like Valldemossa or Sóller, or to a cove for a refreshing swim.
- A full day: combine beach, food and a bit of culture. We take you there and pick you up so you don't miss the ship.
And if your cruise ends here, we take you straight to your hotel or to Palma Airport so you can wrap up the trip stress-free.

Tips for your cruise transfer in Palma
- Book in advance. In high season transfers fill up fast — just like the port does.
- Have your ship's name and docking time ready. It helps us coordinate the pick-up down to the minute.
- If you're on a stopover, plan the return carefully. Better to head back with some buffer than to rush and miss the ship.
- Travelling in a group? Let us know the number of people and bags. That way we assign you the perfect vehicle.
