Falmouth Cruise Port Tours
How to get to Falmouth
Cruise ships dock right outside Falmouth and getting to the historic district is as easy as walking through the port complex and crossing the street. As you walk through the port take note of one of the most important historic buildings in Falmouth: the former home of plantation owner John Tharp, located inside the port complex. Lining the walkway that heads out of the cruise port are illustrated signs with old photos and historic information about the town.

Port Information
Jamaica has its own currency, also called the dollar, but most places will gladly accept U.S. dollars and it’s unlikely that you’ll need to exchange money. Prices are generally quoted in U.S. dollars, but it’s still a good idea to inquire as to which currency is being quoted when making purchases, especially at some of the smaller local establishments. The official language on the island is English.
