Port Lincoln is a popular destination for cruise ships. The cruise ship season usually runs from October to April with the number of ships visiting Port Lincoln varying year to year.
With each ship visit there is approximately 700-3600 passengers and up to 1000 crew that disembark and visit the city. These large numbers of visitors significantly increase the number of people in the CBD, which is positively managed with the wonderful assistance of our Cruise Ship Volunteers. In previous years Port Lincoln has received accolades as being voted as best port by passengers according to South Australian Tourism Commission market research.
The number of Cruise Ships to visit Port Lincoln continues to increase. We can’t wait for the 2025/2026 Cruise Ship season. Many of the same cruise ships will return with a couple of new ones to visit for the first time.
From the ship it is approximately a 10 minute walk along our beautiful foreshore to the CBD. There is also plenty of things to see and do to enjoy our picturesque city.
