Casablanca, Morocco

Casablanca is Morocco's largest city and its economic and business capital, home to more than 3.2 million people on the Atlantic coast. Its signature sight is the Hassan II Mosque, built partly over the ocean with a minaret about 690 feet (210 m) high, completed in 1993 and able to hold more than 100,000 worshipers in its prayer hall and grounds. The city pairs a compact walled medina beside the harbor with the grand 20th-century squares and boulevards of the modern center, the Habous quarter and the seaside Corniche.

Do cruise ships dock in Casablanca? Yes. Ships berth at a cruise terminal opened in September 2025 on the Jetee Moulay Youssef, in a port that ranks among the largest man-made harbors in Africa. How far is the port from the city center? The terminal operator puts it about 0.6 mile (1 km), and the old medina's walls face the harbor. It is a working port, though, and the Corniche at Ain Diab lies farther west, so a taxi or tour is the practical way to reach it.

Cruises to Casablanca are part of Western Mediterranean and transatlantic itineraries. MSC calls most often, followed by Viking Ocean and Royal Caribbean, with Celebrity, Holland America, Azamara, Regent Seven Seas and Celestyal also visiting. A few smaller-ship voyages start or end here, on lines such as Ponant, Explora Journeys and Swan Hellenic.

Put the Hassan II Mosque first. Non-Muslim visitors can see the interior only on guided tours held outside prayer times, so check the tour schedule for your day, and dress modestly.

Specialty Cruise Lines

These cruise lines offer a truly unique vacation experience, with a wide range of possible amenities and itineraries. Some are expedition cruise lines, others have sailing yachts or are coastal ships.

On these types of cruise lines, there's usually a focus on a specific destination or theme. Itineraries are usually very destination intensive, aided by the fact that they're able to reach many ports of call that larger ships can't.

Expedition cruise lines are a great fit for adventure-seeking travelers, featuring exciting destinations like the Galapagos Islands, Antarctica, and the Norwegian coast. During the cruise, there will usually be plenty of interesting lectures given by experts on the destination being visited. Often, shore excursions are included in the cost of the cruise. In fact, some of these cruise lines have all-inclusive pricing. There's a definite focus on the ship's surrounding scenery, as well as opportunities to view wildlife in their natural habitat. Small, but comfortable, ships are commonplace here, with anywhere from basic to very luxurious public spaces, cuisine, and accommodations (depending on the cruise line and ship).

Sailing Yachts, sail-assisted motor ships, offer a really unique vacation experience. Accommodations and cuisine on these intimate vessels can be anywhere from good to fantastic, depending on the cruise line. Destinations offered by these cruise lines may include the Caribbean, Europe, Panama Canal, Tahiti, and Costa Rica.

Things to do in Casablanca, Morocco

From a mosque that stands over the Atlantic to an old medina beside the harbor, here are the best things to do in Casablanca on a cruise day:

♦ Hassan II Mosque

Completed in 1993, this vast mosque stands partly over the Atlantic on a platform at the water's edge. Its minaret rises about 690 feet (210 m), and the prayer hall and grounds together can hold more than 100,000 worshipers. Non-Muslim visitors can see the interior on guided tours held outside prayer times, with modest dress required.

♦ The Old Medina

Casablanca's walled old town lies just inland from the harbor. Rebuilt by Sultan Mohammed ben Abdallah after the earthquake of 1755, it is a compact maze of lanes, small mosques and markets, with the Sqala bastion from the same era along its walls. It is the closest sight to the ship and an easy place to start.

♦ Mohammed V Square

Laid out from 1916 by architects Henri Prost and Joseph Marrast, the city's grand central square is framed by Moorish Revival buildings of the 1920s and 1930s, among them the courthouse, the central post office and the former city hall. Locals call it Pigeons' Square for the birds that gather there, and it shows the modern city that grew up under the French protectorate.

♦ The Habous Quarter

Planned from 1916 as a new Moroccan district in traditional style, the Habous quarter is a cultural and religious center known for its mosques, traditional buildings and bookshops. Its landmarks include the Mahkamat al-Pasha, a former courthouse completed in the early 1940s.

♦ The Corniche at Ain Diab

West of the center, the oceanfront district of Ain Diab is known for its Corniche, a stretch of Atlantic coastline with beaches and a renovated seaside walkway. It is a relaxed place to finish the day by the ocean.
