port call
Ship's scheduled stop
A port call is a scheduled stop by a ship at a harbor, typically for loading or unloading cargo, refueling, or allowing passengers and crew to go ashore.
Naval vessels make port calls for resupply and diplomatic purposes: The aircraft carrier made a port call in Singapore.
Cruise ships advertise their port calls as destinations.
