Koror
is an embarkation port. Many cruises start or end here —
it's worth arriving a day early or extending your stay to explore beyond a single port day.
About Koror
Koror, Palau's vibrant capital, serves as both an embarkation point and port of call for cruise travelers exploring the western Pacific. While cruise service to this remote island destination remains limited, Koror offers an authentic introduction to Palauan culture and some of the world's most pristine natural wonders. The port's intimate scale means you'll experience a more personal connection to the destination than you might find at busier cruise hubs.
When your ship arrives in Koror, you'll discover why this small port punches well above its weight. Passengers can venture into the legendary Rock Islands, a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring dramatic limestone formations and crystal-clear lagoons perfect for snorkeling and diving. Ashore, the welcoming local community shares their rich Palauan heritage through cultural encounters and traditional experiences that showcase why this corner of the Pacific remains a bucket-list destination for adventurous travelers.
