Duty Free Ferry Cruise Ports | Alexandria Cruise Terminal

Egypt

Alexandria Cruise Terminal

This international port handles both ferries and cruise ships. If your ferry is travelling to another country from this port, you will be able to purchase duty free goods on board or at the embarcation port shop.

Most, if not all cruise ships, sail in international territorial waters, so you will be able to buy duty free and tax-free goods onboard during your journey.

Some cruise lines only allow you to consume your duty free alcohol after you have finished your cruise. Check with your cruise specialist before you sail, for more details.

There may now be some restrictions on the purchase on arrival and import of alcohol and tobacco into this country as the Egyptian Ministry of Finance has introduced some new restrictions. Note, November 2012: It would appear that the proposed restrictions have now been relaxed and the import, or purchase on arrival, of liquors and tobaccos is now acceptable. In fact, the prices for these products lines in Egyptian arrival duty free stores are very competitive compared to other parts of the world. A carton of 200 cigarettes currently retails for around USD$16.

Cruise Shipping Lines operating from these major ports include: Cunard, Royal Caribbean, Seaborn, Costa, P&O, Carnival, Celebrity, Windstar, Holland America, Norwegian Cruise Lines, Star, Thomson, Tallink and Silja Line. The duty free allowances on cruise ships will depend on where you are travelling to and from and how often you leave and re-join the ship with the goods you have purchased on shore. Your customs allowance limits will apply at the point that you finally leave the ship and return home. So search your final destination above, click a travel point and then the red customs button for your exemptions. Your cruise specialist will be able to assist you with reservations and other details.
