Quick Facts
- Where cruises dock: San Juan has two cruise ports: the San Juan Cruise Port, with Piers 1–10 in front of Old San Juan, and the Pan-American Port (West and East), next to the Harbor District.
- Closest neighborhoods: Old San Juan and Condado are minutes from the piers. The Pan-American Port is a neighbor of the Harbor District, home to the Puerto Rico Convention Center and hotels, restaurants, and event spaces within walking distance of the port. Isla Verde is next to the airport (SJU); Dorado is west of the city.
- Best time to book: Many offers have holiday blackout dates between mid-December and early January.
- U.S. travelers: U.S. citizens don't need a passport to travel between the U.S. mainland and Puerto Rico. Check with your cruise line for documents needed for the rest of your itinerary.
