Port summary
Incheon's cruise terminal is modern but isolated in the Songdo district. Nothing is walkable from the pier, so you will need transport for any sightseeing. Taxis are plentiful and affordable. Seoul is 40–50 km away and requires at least 90 minutes each way, making it a full-day commitment. For a half-day, stick to Incheon attractions like Chinatown and Wolmido.
