Noordam in Yeosu (Korea): the day sheet

Sat, 16 Oct 2027, 08:00–17:00 (9 h in port), at The single cruise berth, Yeosu Expo Passenger Ship Terminal. Off the ship from 08:30, back at the gangway by 15:30. Print it or save it before you lose the ship's Wi-Fi.

At the pier, before you set off

The terminalYeosu Expo Passenger Ship Terminal, 320-66 Expo-daero: arrival and departure halls, snack bars, a waiting room. On cruise days only: a currency-exchange desk, a local-produce shop and a tourist information desk. The city's own 2026 study calls the waiting hall cramped and CIQ congested.
Cash and ATMsNo ATM is confirmed at the terminal; the exchange desk is temporary and small. Change money in Busan the day before. Cards work at the cable car, Suncheon Bay and the Gyodong fish market; the city-tour bus walk-up ticket and the city buses want cash.
Wi-Fi and dataNo Wi-Fi or SIM counter is published for the terminal. Buy an eSIM before sailing. KTX Expo Station, about 15 minutes on foot, is the nearest large public building.
Steps and slopesThe Expo grounds, the Sky Tower and the Odongdo breakwater (or its train) are flat. Hyangiram is steep steps and narrow stone passages; Holland America rated its own tour there strenuous when it was last sold. Its Suncheon Bay tour lists about 20 steps and 8 km of walking, not for wheelchairs.
