Palermo is the busiest cruise port in Sicily, with almost a million cruise passengers in 2025: ships use the Palermo Cruise Terminal, opened in 2022 inside the old Stazione Marittima, a few minutes by car from the Quattro Canti. Places outside the city need transport: Monreale is about 22 minutes away and Cefalù about 1 h 15. Monreale Cathedral is free to enter during opening hours and the cloister costs 8 EUR; Cefalù Cathedral is free too, with paid routes for the towers and the treasury. With a private transfer from the port of Palermo your driver waits at the terminal exit with a name sign and, with the ship's name in the form, follows the docking. To Cefalù you pay 130 EUR in a Standard Sedan and 160 EUR in a Standard Van for up to 8, per vehicle; to Monreale 55 EUR. The time back on board is set with a margin. Ready-made days are on the shore excursions page.
