Quiz: How Well Do You Know Your Gateway Cruise Ports
How well do you know your gateway ports? Take our quiz to find out.

The majority of places visited on a cruise will lie on the coast, making them easily accessible to ships and their passengers. However, cruises also visit certain destinations which are situated slightly inland, stopping in so called ‘gateway’ ports and then transferring guests via coach, train or other means. This means that a port featured on an itinerary that you may not have heard of before, could actually be the starting point for a visit to somewhere much more well-known.

But how well do you know your gateway ports? Take our quiz to find out.
