Creator's Key Takeaways
A tender port is simply a cruise port where the ship can't access a pier because the water is too shallow or the waterway is too narrow.
It's important to check your itinerary in advance to note when you have ports of call that have tender ports because it can sometimes take 30 minutes to even an hour to get from the ship to the port.
Basically, the cruise lines use these little tender boats to get you to and from.
