Shore excursions from Ashdod

Private shore excursions from Ashdod

Ashdod is the port for Jerusalem. From the cruise terminal it is about an hour to the Old City, which leaves a full shore day for the Western Wall, the Holy Sepulchre, and either Bethlehem or a float in the Dead Sea before the drive back. Tel Aviv and Jaffa are the shorter alternative for a second call or a late all-aboard.

Ilya meets you at the port gate after passport control, holding a sign with your name. The day is built around your ship's all-aboard time with a safety margin. The day runs in English, German, Russian, or Hebrew.

This is a private vehicle for your party only, not a shared coach. Prices are per vehicle, so a family or two couples travelling together pay far less per person than a ship excursion.

Questions guests ask

How far is Jerusalem from Ashdod port?
About 60 km, or an hour by road. A ship in port from 8:00 to 18:00 leaves seven to eight hours on the ground in Jerusalem.
What if the ship is delayed or the all-aboard changes?
Message Ilya on WhatsApp as soon as you know. The itinerary flexes; the return time to the port is the fixed point of the day.
Where exactly is the pickup?
At the Ashdod cruise terminal gate after customs and passport check, or at the meeting point the port assigns that day. Ilya sends the exact spot the evening before.
What is the cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start, and a full refund if weather forces a change.
