Docked vs. Tender Port: What’s the Difference?

At a docked port, the ship pulls beside a pier and you walk directly ashore. At a tender port, the ship remains offshore and a smaller boat transports you between the ship and land. Tendering may involve additional waiting, limited mobility access and changes caused by weather. Follow your ship’s instructions and confirm the last tender time before exploring the port.
