Port of Haifa
Cruise Accident Attorney

The Port of Haifa is Israel’s largest cruise ship terminal and is quite modern despite being a relatively small port compared to Miami. It offers the services one would expect, such as a duty-free shop, currency conversion, and access to 24-hour public transportation including bus, subway, and a railway, which can transport cruise ship passengers to visit Israel’s extraordinary religious and historic sites.  

For cruise ship passengers who want to stay near their ship in Haifa, there is plenty to see in and around the port, including the Baha’i World’s Gardens, Mt. Carmel, and world-class beaches and restaurants.  Baha’i World is about 10 minutes from the Port and should not be missed because it is often referred to as the Eighth Wonder of the World, having been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2008. 

No cruise to Israel would be complete without visiting Jerusalem, Israel’s capital and the birthplace of three religions–Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Our visits to the historic Old City of Jerusalem are always unforgettable. 

Most of the major cruise lines feature itineraries that stop in Israel, including Carnival, Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Cunard, Princess, Seabourn, Azamara, Crystal, Holland America, Oceania, Regent Seven Seas, Viking Costa, and many more. If you are injured on a Holy Land cruise to or from Israel, while a passenger onboard one of the major cruise lines, claims against the majority of these cruise lines must be filed not in Israel, but in the United States in Federal Court within one year of the date of the incident.  Many of the cruise lines, such as NCL, require that a formal written notice be sent shortly after the accident before a lawsuit can be filed. Most of these claims are litigated in Miami, Florida, near Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian corporate offices, regardless of where the incident may have occurred or where the passenger is from.
