Station Pier was originally known as Railway Pier and was first opened in 1854. The pier and its unique
Gate House are
heritage listed.
Today Station Pier is
Melbourne's premier cruise ship terminal and is also host to the Spirit of Tasmania ferry service from
Melbourne to
Devonport. It also plays host to visiting naval and tall ships. Unlike many cruise ship terminals, Station Pier is not located within a freight terminal. The pier is constructed directly off
the beach into Port Phillip Bay at the historic and cosmopolitan suburb of Port
Melbourne, giving visitors stunning
views from their ship and the chance to wander along
the beach side board walks directly from the end of the pier.
The pier is open to the general public from 6am to 9pm daily (for pedestrians only). However, the pier is closed to the public during cruise ship visits, some naval ship visits and other exceptional circumstances.
