Santa Margherita Tender?

[leftyofnorth]

We visit Santa Margherita and the Celebrity site states we are docked. Can anyone confirm if the ship can dock in the small port, do they use tenders or do we dock in Genoa? We are deciding on a self walking tour or a ship tour.

Unless they buiil a huge pier in the last two years, it will be tender only in SM. The tender pier is only a few yards away from the ferry pier that goes to Portofino in one direction and to Cinqueterre in the opposite direction.

Why are cruise lines so incapable of getting their information straight?  It seems to happen with all of them.

 

On Celebrity's web site they state:

 

The Santa Margherita cruise port is a tender port, and you’ll be tendered ashore via a smaller boat from your ship.
