Festivals are the easiest reason in the world to fly in a day or two early. Below are the fairs, carnivals and festivals happening in cruise embarkation ports between now and the end of 2027 — the cities you fly into and sail out of — along with roughly how far each one is from the cruise terminal.
Ten festivals you can walk to from the ship
No excursion, no transfer, no rental car — the festival is at the pier.
