AT A GLANCE
Officially checked calls: 5–18 October 2026
Every date in this window was queried directly against Ege Port. Arrival and departure times are reproduced as published. A scheduled call does not confirm that a ship has actually berthed; confirm your ship's all-aboard deadline and time basis on board.
Athena, Variety Voyager and Arethusa are listed on their official arrival dates even though their departures fall later. The pressure method counts a call once on its arrival date, not again on later days when the vessel may still be present.

Capacity references are not passenger arrivals
Capacity numbers come from separate operator, shipbuilder or clearly labelled secondary references. They are not actual occupancy, arriving-passenger totals or the number of guests going ashore. Rows marked * use a secondary capacity reference; schedule verification remains separate.
Estimated cruise-related pressure
These Pressure Score and Pressure Level results apply only to arrivals in the reviewed 5–18 October window. The ratings belong to Port Day Insider's planning methodology; they are not official Ege Port ratings.

Scores use published capacity references
Days with unresolved capacity inputs remain pending; several totals include clearly flagged secondary capacity references. None of the daily totals represents actual passengers arriving or visiting Ephesus.
How we calculate Pressure Score and Pressure Level
Pressure Score = Ship Count Score + Published Capacity Score + Arrival Overlap Bonus. The same rules are applied to each covered date.
Ship Count Score
1 scheduled arrival = 1 point; 2 = 3 points; 3 = 5 points; 4 or more = 7 points. Count each call on its official arrival date. Athena is counted on 6 October although it departs on 8 October; Variety Voyager is counted on 12 October although it departs on 13 October.
Published Capacity Score
Add the published ship-capacity references for that date's arrivals. Below 2,000 = 1 point; 2,000–4,999 = 2; 5,000–7,999 = 3; 8,000–11,999 = 4; 12,000 or more = 5. This is not a standardized maximum-capacity total or an occupancy estimate.
Arrival Overlap Bonus
Add 2 points once when at least one pair of arrivals on the same date is no more than 90 minutes apart, including identical arrival times and exactly 90 minutes. Otherwise add 0. Additional pairs do not add more points.
Pressure Level
2–4 points = Calm; 5–7 = Moderate; 8–10 = Busy; 11 or more = Very Busy. For 12 October: 7 ship-count points + 3 capacity points + 2 overlap points = 12 (Very Busy). For 13 October the same components also produce 12. If a required capacity input cannot be verified, the score remains pending rather than being guessed.
What the score cannot tell you
These are transparent editorial planning bands, not a model validated against measured crowd levels. They do not use actual occupancy, the proportion of guests going ashore, excursion choices or non-cruise visitors.
What a busy cruise day may mean for Ephesus
When several ships arrive close together, the likelihood of higher cruise-related visitor pressure at Ephesus may increase. Actual conditions also depend on weather, excursion departure times, independent travelers, local visitors and guest choices.
Use the indicator to plan a clear meeting point, flexible sightseeing order and a realistic return buffer. It cannot guarantee queue lengths or crowd conditions.
Plan your cruise-port visit to EphesusPlan pickup and your return to the ship
Arrival, disembarkation and tour pickup are different moments. Give your operator the ship name, visit date and latest port times, then confirm the meeting point and which clock your pickup uses.
Departure is the scheduled sailing time; all aboard is the earlier passenger return deadline. Work backward from the onboard deadline and allow time for the drive, traffic, terminal security and boarding.

Sources and update policy
Schedule source: the official Ege Port Kuşadası schedule is the sole authority for published calls and times. The official schedule data endpoint was checked separately for every date from 5 through 18 October 2026 and cross-checked against the complete official export. Overnight calls are grouped by arrival date and counted once.
Capacity sources: each number links to its separate reference in the table. These capacity references were retained from earlier research and were not rechecked in the 5 October schedule update. Source tier and capacity basis are shown beside the number; secondary inputs are marked and are never described as actual passenger arrivals.
When this page is updated
The schedule data was last checked on 5 October 2026 and covers arrivals from 5 through 18 October only. The today answer selects the matching date in Türkiye from this reviewed snapshot; it is not a live feed. Outside this window it directs you to Ege Port. New calls and schedule changes require another source check; recheck close to your visit.
How calls are added or corrected
A call is published only after checking ship, arrival date/time and departure date/time against Ege Port. Current official information takes precedence over previous snapshots and secondary schedule compilations.
How capacities and scores are maintained
Capacity references are verified separately from the schedule. Recalculate totals and scores when a call, time or capacity input changes. If a required numeric input is unresolved, mark the score pending rather than guessing.
Coverage limits
This is not a verified full-year 2026 schedule. Dates outside 5–18 October are not covered here. A blank or unavailable official result must not be described as a verified zero-ship day.
Kusadasi cruise schedule FAQs
What cruise ships are in Kusadasi today?
For today, 17 October 2026 in Türkiye, the Ege Port snapshot checked on 5 October 2026 lists: Arethusa (overnight call from 16 October 2026; departure 18 October 2026 at 23:59); Celestyal Discovery (arrival 07:00; departure 13:00); Enchanted Princess (arrival 08:00; departure 19:00); Seven Seas Mariner (arrival 08:00; departure 18:00); Marella Discovery (arrival 09:00; departure 18:00). These are scheduled calls for the date, not confirmation that a ship is currently berthed. Recheck Ege Port and your cruise line for changes and confirm ship time on board.
Which dates are verified on this Kusadasi cruise schedule?
Every date from 5 through 18 October 2026 was checked directly against the official Ege Port schedule on 5 October 2026. The table publishes the 43 calls returned for that window. Dates outside the reviewed range are not covered, and a blank or unavailable official result must not be interpreted as a verified zero-ship day.
Is this the verified full-year Kusadasi cruise schedule for 2026?
No. This page covers only the reviewed 5–18 October 2026 window. It is not a full-year calendar or a live feed. The today answer uses Türkiye’s date to select from this reviewed snapshot, but the underlying schedule data does not refresh automatically. Check Ege Port for dates outside the window and recheck close to your visit.
Are the passenger figures actual arrivals in Kusadasi?
No. Every number is a published ship-capacity reference from a separate source. It does not report actual occupancy, arriving passengers or people who went ashore. References use different definitions, so their sum is a planning-score input rather than a measured passenger total.
Why are some capacity references marked secondary?
The ship call and its times are verified separately against Ege Port. A secondary label applies only to the published ship-capacity reference when a primary operator or shipbuilder reference was not confirmed. The figure is not actual passenger arrivals and should be rechecked before any score is treated as current.
How are Pressure Score and Pressure Level calculated?
Pressure Score adds a ship-count score, a published-capacity score and an arrival-overlap bonus. Ship-count points are 1 for one ship, 3 for two, 5 for three and 7 for four or more. Capacity points are 1 below 2,000, 2 for 2,000–4,999, 3 for 5,000–7,999, 4 for 8,000–11,999 and 5 for 12,000 or more. Add 2 once if any two arrivals on the same date are no more than 90 minutes apart. Pressure Level is Calm at 2–4, Moderate at 5–7, Busy at 8–10 and Very Busy at 11 or more. If a required capacity input is unresolved, the score remains pending.
Does a busy cruise day mean Ephesus will definitely be crowded?
No. The pressure level estimates cruise-related pressure from scheduled arrivals, published capacity references and arrival-time overlap. It does not predict total visitors or guarantee crowd conditions at Ephesus.
Can the Kusadasi cruise schedule change?
Yes. Ege Port presents schedules as reference information and warns that weather or operational needs can change calls and times. Recheck close to your port day and follow your cruise line's latest instructions.
Is the listed departure time the same as all aboard?
No. Departure is the scheduled sailing time. All aboard is the earlier passenger return deadline announced by your cruise line. Confirm the onboard deadline and allow time for traffic, terminal security and boarding.
