Cruises from Ternopil

Published: 2 min read

Ternopil is located relatively close to Lviv, and it is exactly this proximity that simplifies the road to the cruise port for people here. MSC, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Costa, or Celestyal liners, as for the rest of Ukraine, depart not from the home city but from Barcelona, Venice, Civitavecchia, Genoa, or Piraeus, so the first step of any trip leads toward the western border. From Ternopil this trip is short: a few hours by bus or train, and you are already in Lviv, from where you can use all the advantages of a regional center, including a wider choice of connecting flights from Rzeszow or Krakow airports. In essence, travelers from Ternopil get almost the same convenience as those from Lviv, just with a small additional leg at the start of the route. This favorably distinguishes Ternopil from cities in central or eastern Ukraine, where the trip to the transport hub alone takes up most of the road. Still, when planning a trip through Lviv specifically, it is worth finding out the bus or train schedule between the two cities in advance, so as not to lose time waiting, rather than relying on random transport on the same day. Total time on the road still exceeds a day, counting from departure from Ternopil to arrival at the port of embarkation, so a small buffer at each stage does not hurt. The route through Lviv is described in detail in the article "How a Ukrainian can get on a cruise: the road to the port."
