The new parking facilities at the terminal are similar to airport parking, in that the cars are parked under shade cloth. There is no valet parking or valet service at Durban Harbour.

Where is the Durban cruise terminal?

The new Durban Cruise Terminal, where all MSC Cruises ships departs from, is situated a stone trough away from the uShaka Marine World. 

It is an MSC Cruises operated facility open from November to April and functions as the passenger terminal.

Durban downtown is within 10 minutes walking distance from the terminal. However, due to safety concerns, it is better to use private drivers (Uber) or transfers.

The Cruise Terminal is now at: 65 Mahatma Gandhi Rd, Point, Durban

Where do MSC Cruises depart from in Durban, South Africa?

Durban is the biggest departure port in Southern Africa for MSC.

All MSC Cruises' ships depart from the Kwazulu Cruise Terminal the only Durban Passenger terminal.

Kwazulu Cruise Terminal is located northeast of the Durban harbour, next to uShaka Marine World.

Where is the MSC Cruises parking in Durban port?

The entrance to the self-service parking is clearly indicated when you get to the terminal

Car parking at Durban Harbour - can you leave your car during your trip?

There are limited car parking spaces at the Cruise Terminal. The new car park is like an airport parking, under shade cloth.

When you get to the car park, you will get asked for your cruise ticket by one of the parking staff. 

For any of the MSC Cruises, it will cost ZAR 150.- per car per night to be parked at the terminal.

You can not pre-book your Parking slots, it will be allocated on a first come first serve. 

We recommend arriving early as there is very limited availability; the new parking will have only 300 bays on site.

It is self-service parking, meaning you have to park your own car and take your own luggage to the luggage drop off zone. There is no valet parking at the Durban facility provided by MSC.   

How far is the parking from the check-in area?

You will not need a shuttle bus service from the self-service car park to the terminal, as it is within walking distance, about 300 to 400 metres.

How much does it cost to leave your car at the parking?

For any MSC Cruises passengers, the cost of leaving your vehicles at the port will be R 130.- per car, per night.

As a "normal" car park, you will pay for your parking when you pick your car up at the end of your trip. 

A note that all the parking facilities are secure parking, but still at the owner's risk.

Great service, very professional!

Professional and excellent service.

Samuel was friendly, helpful and very efficient. Was quick to answer his phone when I called to inform him that we were disembarking etc. We did not get the car wash, but I do understand that Samuel explained there was no water, its an everday problem in SA, so no worries, but car was clean and left in perfect condition, hence the 4 rating regarding the service as advertised about the wash

Job Well Done!!!!!

MSC Cruises - Durban Harbour

One of the high points of your holiday on MSC Cruises is when your stunning ship pulls into the beautiful city of Durban.

Seen from the vantage of your MSC liner, Durban’s majestic skyline soars above this bustling port and the sweeping sandy beaches below.

Enjoy island cruises from Durban to Portuguese Island, Inhaca, Pomene, Reunion or Mauritius; or to Cape Town and Maputo (there are no longer cruises to Madagascar, as the new and more significant MSC Orchestra doesn’t fit in their harbour). Over New Year at the end of 2020, there’ll be a 12-night cruise from Durban to the Seychelles, Madagascar and Mauritius. You have the choice of 4 ships that you can book  cruises from Durban  on:
