America's westernmost territory, Guam blends ancient Chamorro traditions, Spanish colonial ruins, WWII memorials, and some of the Pacific's calmest reef-protected beaches — all priced in US dollars.
Ships dock at F1 Pier inside Apra Harbor, an active military/commercial zone — no walking to town. Expect US Customs and Border Protection screening if arriving from a foreign port.
💡 Pro move: US immigration rules apply. All non-US-citizens arriving from foreign ports must clear CBP at the pier — have your passport and US visa or ESTA ready.
All cruise ships dock at F1 Pier in the Port Authority of Guam inside Apra Harbor.

| Most cruise lines (Holland America, Seabourn, Carnival, MSC, Cunard) | F1 Pier, Apra Harbor📍 | Docked |

Find Two Lovers Point tours →Tumon's long white-sand beach fronts the main hotel strip and is free, public, and calm year-round behind a fringing reef.
