Regent passengers should treat the ship's all-aboard announcement as the hard deadline, not the published port departure time alone.

Tender guidance

Most cruise ships do not dock directly in Portofino due to the small size of the harbour. Instead, ships anchor offshore and passengers are transported into the village using tender boats. The tender ride itself offers fantastic views of the Italian Riviera coastline and the colourful Portofino harbour as you arrive.

Read our tender port guide and cruise port guide. Meet excursions at FARMACIA 5–7 minute walk from the tender pier (approximately 300 metres).
