Leaving Buenos Aires on a cruise ship

Buenos Aires port is mainly focused on cargo. There is a cruise terminal but it is all a bit primitive. About 100 cruise ships a year dock here and most of them are small. After check-in and security control, you exit the building again and are transferred to the cruise ship in busses. A strange feeling driving through a port between high walls of containers.

We enjoy the views of the port, containers, factories, liquid storage capacity and the skyline of Buenos Aires. We are on our way to Uruguay but will return to Argentina soon. Next to the Celebrity Infinity, there are also cruise ships from Ibero and Aida in port.

De haven van Buenos Aires is voornamelijk gericht op vrachtvervoer. Er is een cruise terminal maar het is allemaal een beetje primitief. Ongeveer 100 cruise schepen meren hier aan per jaar en de meesten zijn klein. Na de check-in en security controle worden we per bus naar het schip gebracht. Een raar gevoel om tussen hoge muren van containers te rijden. 

We genieten van de zichten op de haven, containers, fabrieken, opslag capaciteit voor vloeistoffen en de skyline van Buenos Aires. We zijn op weg naar Uruguay maar zullen snel terug keren naar Argentinië. Naast de Celebrity Infinity lagen er ook cruise schepen van Ibero en Aida.
