CORFU Dock or Tender?

Going to Corfu in June and docking at 8:00. We will be on NCL. Does anyone know if this ship docks or tenders?

We docked when I was there two years ago.

Cruise ships dock at the New Port of Corfu (Liman), which is situated about a mile west of Corfu old town. There is usually a shuttle bus into the main terminal, and from here you can pick up another shuttle into Corfu old town.

We have always docked there. It has a good size dock but I guess if enough ships were in port someone may have to tender. Your itinerary should answer your question

We have also docked there too.

Grand Princess docked in Corfu, as well as NCL Jade. The pier is a long one. NCL provided a shuttle from the ship to land, where taxis were in abundance. Princess did not, but NCL let us use their shuttle. Taxi was 10 EUR each way into Corfu Town and then back.

Never tendered there. Docking is usual.

We were on the NCL Jade in October. Our itinerary showed we would dock - however once we boarded we noticed that it had changed to tender.

We arrived in Corfu on a very, wet, rainy day. Worst weather we've had at any port in 9 cruises. It was incredibly difficult to board the tenders - very choppy. We almost decided not to get off the ship as we have 2 young children, but we persevered. Got very wet, but made the most of our time in Corfu.

The ship ended up leaving late and the Captain explained that the reason for this was that they were battling to tender in the last passengers - the wind was extremely strong.

I am not sure which other ports you are going to but we tendered in Santorini (as per itinerary) we docked in Mykonos (itinerary said tender) and we docked in Katakolon (as per itinerary).
