Cruises from Warsaw
Published: 2 min read
Warsaw holds a special place on this list: it is the only city where the road to a cruise truly starts at the airport, without a ground segment across a border and without connections in a neighboring country. If you live or are temporarily staying in Warsaw, there is no need to get to Poland first, since you are already here. The two Warsaw airports, Chopin and Modlin, offer direct flights to many Mediterranean destinations, and it is from here that it is easiest to reach Barcelona, Venice, Civitavecchia near Rome, Genoa, or Piraeus, where MSC, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Costa, and Celestyal liners wait for passengers. In essence, for people in Warsaw and Ukrainians who live in Poland, the cruise trip differs little from that of any European traveler: a direct road to the airport, a flight, the port, boarding the liner. This is especially pleasant to realize for those who remember how much longer and harder this road remains for relatives or friends who still live in Ukraine. Many choose a cruise as a shared vacation format for exactly this reason: it becomes possible to meet right at the port of embarkation with relatives flying a different route from Kyiv, Lviv, or any other city. Even with such simple logistics, it is worth checking document requirements in advance and not leaving ticket booking to the last week before the liner sets sail. We collected the overall picture of how this same route looks for Ukrainians from different cities in the article "How a Ukrainian can get on a cruise: the road to the port."

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to cross a border if I am going on a cruise from Warsaw?
No, and that is the main difference between this page and the others: the trip starts right at the airport, without a ground segment across a border and without transit through a neighboring country.
Which Warsaw airport is more convenient to fly out from for a cruise?
Both Warsaw airports, Chopin and Modlin, offer flights toward Mediterranean ports. Choose based on where a flight convenient by time and connections to your port of embarkation departs from.
What documents are needed for a trip from Poland on a cruise?
This depends on your citizenship, residence status in Poland, and the chosen port of embarkation, so check current requirements on the official website of the cruise line and the consulate of the destination country in advance.
Can I meet relatives coming from Ukraine at the port?
Yes, this is a common scenario: travelers from Warsaw fly a direct flight, while relatives from Ukraine follow a longer route through a neighboring country, and both groups meet directly at the port of embarkation.
How much time should I allow for the road from Warsaw to the port?
Far less than from Ukrainian cities: often a day of travel is enough, including the flight and the transfer from the airport to the port. Still, a small buffer in case of a flight delay is worth keeping.
