Ships/Day:** 1 - **Avg. Time in Port:** 12.2h - **Departure Sailings:** 2 - **Visiting Sailings:** 49 - **Cruise Lines:** 5 ## Peak Season Busiest months: Mar (14 sailings), Feb (11 sailings), Dec (8 sailings) ## About Adelaide Adelaide is laid out on a grid surrounded by parkland, so it's easy to navigate and hard to get lost. North Terrace has the main cultural institutions lined up in a row: the art gallery, museum, and state library, all free to enter. The Central Market, running since 1869, is the best food stop: cheese, olives, local wine, and pie floaters (a meat pie sitting in pea soup, which is very much an Adelaide thing). Glenelg beach is a short tram ride from the city centre and has a pleasant if unremarkable seaside strip. The real selling point for a longer visit is the wine country nearby: Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale are both within an hour's drive and produce some of Australia's best shiraz. Cleland Wildlife Park in the hills above the city lets you hand-feed kangaroos, which is hard to pass up if you haven't done it before. ## Quick Facts - **Currency:** AUD (Australian Dollar) - **Language:** English - **Timezone:** Australia/Adelaide (UTC+10:30) - **Tipping:** Not expected; 10% for exceptional service ## Location Coordinates: -34.8412, 138.5024 - [Open in Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/search/cruise+terminal+Adelaide/@-34.84117,138.50243,13z) - [Open in Apple Maps](https://maps.apple.com/?q=cruise%20terminal%20Adelaide&ll=-34.84117,138.50243&z=13) ## Things to Do in Adelaide Top-rated shore excursions that fit a typical ~12h port call.
