The most-reviewed cruise excursion from this terminal: the palace, the old streets and the city in one day, with the return to the ship guaranteed. On a Seoul day that guarantee is the point.
- If you would rather be guided, the operator here holds 4.3★ across 60 reviews.
- This needs 9 hr, so it only fits an 11-hour call or longer. On a shorter one it will cost you the ship, not the view.
- Book it before you sail. There is no tour desk at the pier and walk-up places are not a thing here.
- It is a view, so it is weather. Check the morning sky before you commit the hours.
Where the 9 hr goes
The hour before all-aboard is not in this bar; it is already set aside. The minutes are our estimates from timetables and maps, not timed on the ground.
If your ship is late, cut the 8 hr 30 min in the middle. Never cut the hour at the end.
Book it with a guide
Booked before you sail — there is no tour desk at the pier. Booking through this link supports the site.
Routes that already include it
Finished days timed from official timetables and our estimates, with this stop in them.
What to put beside it
Each of these still lands you back aboard with the hour to spare.
