AIRPORT AND EMBARKATION

A taxi from Barcelona airport to the cruise port is now fixed price at €39 which includes the baggage supplement(s). This is the ONLY taxi route in Barcelona that doesn't have to use the meter. The journey can take anywhere from 25 - 50 minutes depending on the traffic. However, for a Sunday embarkation, expect 30 minutes max.
