Port Huelva cruise ship schedule shows timetable calendars of all arrival and departure dates by month. The port's schedule lists all ships (in links) with cruises going to or leaving from Huelva, Spain Andalusia. To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link.

Huelva is a port city in southwestern Spain. It is located in the autonomous Andalusia region *along the Gulf of Cadiz coast) and at the confluence of the rivers Odiel and Tinto. The city has population around 150,000 and covers a total area of approx 149 km2 (58 mi2). Huelva is home to the oldest football club in Spain, Recreativo de Huelva.

A picturesque town between Guadiana and Guadalquivir rivers, Huelva is on the estuary of River Odiel, as well as on the road from the mouth of Guadiana to Merida.

Huelva port has two sectors: inner port (located in the city) and outer port (the major one, also used by cruise vessels and some ferries).

• Inner Port has 1 wharf and was created in 1972. East Wharf replaced the old, low-quality harbor facilities (constructed between 1900-1910). Currently, it is the wharf that is used for smaller vessel traffic, such as tourist boats.
• Outer Port has 6 wharves and was constructed in 1965. It is located to the south of River Tinto. Port Huelva also serves the ferry ship Volcan del Teide (operated by Naviera Armas). The ship serves passenger traffic between Huelva,  Arrecife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria  on a weekly scheduled basis.

Major attractions popular for tourism travel in Huelva province are the Columbus sites (Huelva City, Palos de la Frontera, Moguer, Rabida Monastery. The city is famous for its football club (Spain's oldest) - Recreativo de Huelva.

In 2021, Port Huelva started several infrastructure projects, the largest of which is the new Marina Isla Canela (leisure complex with a boats-yachts-serving facility/harbor at Levante Wharf). The entire space between the cruise port and the city was also remodeled with green areas, leisure and business venues (travel services, restaurants and shops, sports activity zones). Ría de Huelva's harbor marshes (Huelva City's shores and islands) were also restored.

Since 2021, the Port also provides LNG bunkering/fueling - both TTS (truck-to-ship/via tank trucks) and STS (ship-to-ship/via barges). Up to 46% discounts on port taxes and services are offered to cruise companies operating LNG-powered ships .

Huelva cruise terminal

Cruise ships in Huelva Spain dock at Muelle Sur's berths (Outer Port). The distance between the cruise wharf and the city center is approx 15 km (9 mi). Complimentary shuttle bus service is provided by the cruise company. Taxis are also available.

Alaska considers new limits for cruise ship visitors to help combat overtourism

The visitor limit agreement would go into effect in 2026.

JUNEAU, Alaska -- The pristine natural beauty of Alaska boasts breathtaking landscapes with vast national parks, glaciers and 6,640 miles of coastline that makes the destination particularly popular for cruises.

Now, the capital port city of Juneau, where crowds have been sailing in in record numbers, is considering a limit on large cruise ships with 250 passengers or more that would cap the number of daily visitors starting in 2026 to help combat overtourism.

New agreement in Alaska to limit cruise ship visitors

Last month, cruise lines including Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian signed an agreement with Juneau tourism officials to help manage the thousands of passengers getting off the boats at the same time and visiting the area.

While the numbers are subject to change, Sundays through Fridays, cruise crowds are expected to be capped at 16,000. That number will be limited to 12,000 on Saturdays.

The new agreement expands on last year's decision to implement a limit of five cruise ships per day in Juneau.

Juneau is home to some amazing outdoor attractions, such as whale watching and Mendenhall Glacier, but some local residents said they've had enough of the post-pandemic crowds.

"I personally came to the realization that Alaska was being sold as a friendly place and that my friendliness was a commodity for the cruise lines," resident Karla Hart told ABC News. "The idea is just one day every week to just take a pause -- to have our community back."

In 2023, a record 1.6 million cruise passengers visited Juneau, including Sarah Grathwohlwent, who was there for the first time earlier this spring and documented her journey on social media.

"It was beautiful to go and see a glacier -- was my first one," she said. "I'm not against limiting the amount of cruise ships, I think it would make it nicer for the locals who live there year round."

Overtourism around the world prompts new crowd management systems

Scott Keyes, travel expert and founder of Going.com, said that the challenges of overtourism are not isolated to Juneau.

"We have been setting new travel records every month so far in 2024, and there's no reason to think that's going to stop," he told ABC News.

In the U.S., Mount Rainier is among the National Parks that have begun implementing timed entry reservations to help manage large crowds. In Europe, hotspot destinations like Venice and Barcelona have implemented day trip fees for visitors.

Over the weekend in Barcelona, thousands of locals protested in the streets with water guns to take a stand against tourism, which they say has resulted in a higher cost of living for residents.

Due to increased demand in Athens, Greece, the city is also studying limits on tourist capacity.

Experts believe that as more destinations see surges in visitors, local officials may implement restrictions to deal with crowds diplomatically.

"I'm all in favor of steps taken to try to make sure you're managing that properly and respecting the local environment and everything," Keyes said.
