Which cruise ships call at Puerto Quetzal, and on which days? This page answers from the port’s own list. Empresa Portuaria Quetzal, the port company, publishes a Programa de Arribos (vessel schedule) on its official portal, with every vessel announced for the months ahead. We keep the rows the port itself labels CRUCERO (cruise) and rebuild the table every day.

38 cruise calls on the port's lists from today. The time is the berthing time the port lists; many carry the same round hour, so the time that counts for your ship is the one in your cruise line's itinerary.
How to read it: the date and time are the berthing date and time the port lists. The time is the port’s planning time, and many calls share 06:00; your cruise line’s itinerary is the one that governs your ship. The calls furthest ahead are the port’s early announcements and can change. A ship the port shows as berthed, at anchor or sailed keeps its row on its call day, tagged with that status. When the port lists the same ship twice on one day, under two agents, we show it once with both times and both agents.

Calls that have disappeared from the list
A call that was on the port’s list and later vanishes, before its date, is kept here instead of being deleted silently. That is a change on the port’s list, not a confirmed cancellation; check with your cruise line.
None: since we started reading the list (26 September 2026) no future call has disappeared from it.
The cruise terminal
Empresa Portuaria Quetzal describes its cruise terminal as 1 berth formed by 6 mooring dolphins for passenger vessels, 185 m long, with 13 m of depth below chart datum. To get from the ship to Antigua, see Puerto Quetzal to Antigua for transfer prices and times. For how many cruise passengers Guatemala receives each year, see Guatemala tourism statistics.
What this page does not show
- Departure times and passenger numbers: the port’s list of announced calls has no field for either (its field names were read on 26 September 2026).
- Santo Tomás de Castilla (the Caribbean port): EMPORNAC’s board is a short-horizon list of all vessel types, not a cruise calendar.
- Past calls: once its date passes, a call leaves the table.
How this page works
- Source: Empresa Portuaria Quetzal’s public arrivals screen on puertoquetzal.gob.gt, read once a day. The port’s older address, puerto-quetzal.com, no longer leads to the port (on 26 September 2026 it redirected to an unrelated site), so we do not link it.
- Filter: only rows the port labels CRUCERO; nothing is guessed from a ship’s name.
- Upcoming: decided when the site is built, once a day, in Guatemala time.
- If the port’s list cannot be read, the last good list stays on the page and the date line above the table turns red after 30 hours.
Source: Empresa Portuaria Quetzal, Programa de Arribos (the port's public list of announced vessels; list generated by the port 2026-09-26 18:30 UTC). We keep only the rows the port labels CRUCERO (cruise). Our changes: rows for the same ship on the same day are merged into one call (the port sometimes lists a call twice, under two agents), dates are written out and columns reordered. Ship and agent names are as the port writes them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which cruise ships are coming to Puerto Quetzal?
The table on this page lists every cruise call in Empresa Portuaria Quetzal’s arrivals program, rebuilt daily, and the list above it names the next three ships with their dates.
How many cruise ships call at Puerto Quetzal in the 2026-2027 season?
The month table on this page counts the cruise calls in the port’s program from today on, and is recounted every day. The program runs well ahead of the season, so the calls furthest out are early announcements that can change.
What time do cruise ships arrive in Puerto Quetzal?
The port lists a berthing time for each call, shown in the table. Many calls carry the same round hour, so treat it as the port’s planning time and use your cruise line’s itinerary for your own ship.
How do I get from Puerto Quetzal to Antigua?
Either the cruise line’s own excursion or a private transfer booked in advance; our Puerto Quetzal to Antigua page compares the published prices, the driving time and who carries the risk if you are late back to the ship.
Does this include cruise ships at Santo Tomás de Castilla?
No. This list is Puerto Quetzal’s, on the Pacific. The Caribbean port at Santo Tomás de Castilla, run by EMPORNAC, shows a short-horizon board of all vessel types rather than a cruise calendar, so this page does not cover it.
