Cruise Ship Excursions – From ports in Galicia

A number of cruise companies including Royal Caribbean Cruises, Princess Cruises and P & O Cruises now port at the Galician coastal cities of la Coruna and Vigo. Both of these ports are within easy travelling distance of the famous city of Santiago de Compostela, the beautiful medieval city of Pontevedra, the cathedral city of Tui and the hill top town of Valenca in northern Portugal.

At Galicia Mystic Tours we are able to offer you a selection of tours tailored to the timetable of your cruise port of call whilst giving you a taste of Galicia and being able to have you back at your cruise ship without the fear of getting lost or missing your departure time. In all cases we will pick you up and drop you off from your departure point at the marina in either la Coruna port or the port of Vigo.

Cruise tours departing from the port of Vigo or la Coruna

If you are planning to take a cruise that ports in North West Spain, let us be your guide for the duration of your stay, even if it is only for a few hours. Our expertise and knowledge of Galicia will enable you to see as much as possible in the relatively short window of time that you have available. At Galicia Mystic Tours we can offer you an intimate guide to the historic medieval city of Santiago de Compostela, a view of the Celtic towns of la Guardia and Baiona, a tour around the beautiful old town of Pontevedra, or a visit to the cathedral city of Tui combined with the Portuguese town of Valenca, just across the Spanish border.

Because we are based in Galicia we can show you the sights that most cruise tours omit or do not know about and, with our local knowledge of the road network, we can quickly transport you from the port of Vigo or the port of la Coruna to some magical Galician sights and experiences, all of which will make your visit an unforgettable one.

At Galicia Mystic Tours we have been catering for the special requirements of cruisers since 2005 and this has enabled us to put together four different cruise excursions. These tours are designed to fit perfectly into the time slot that you have and, whilst they maximise your limited time in Galicia, they still feel unhurried and relaxed. To find out more, use the links at the top of this page, or visit the review website Cruise Critic (www.cruisecritic.co.uk), or our own testimonials page and take a look at what some of our former guests have said about us.

Finally, if you have a cruise planned and you would like to experience one of our la Coruna port or Vigo port based cruise excursions, please contact us as soon as possible with your embarkment and disembarkment details. Regrettably we have a limited number of places available on all of our cruise excursions and once those places have been taken that particular tour will become unavailable. For this reason we advise you to reserve your tour as soon as possible.


We look forward to having the opportunity of showing you the treasures of Galicia.
