As far as I know cruise ships have always stopped at Malaga, but in the last few years this has been on the increase. Royal Caribbean and Costa Cruises use the port throughout the year. See a complete list of cruises from Malaga port here.
I was recently at the port to drop off my mum and sister who had booked a 6 night cruise starting and ending at Malaga. According to my sister there were lots of couples on the cruise who owned property on the Costa del Sol and were incorporating a short cruise with a visit to their apartment or villa. My own family sent 6 nights on the cruise then stayed the weekend with me – so 2 holidays for the price of one flight.
The port of Malaga is really easy to get to from the airport – there is now a new road which takes you from the airport along the coast road, scenic and not crowded. It takes about 10 minutes by car. You could also take the train from the Airport to Malaga Maria Zambrano station which takes 13 minutes then get a taxi to take you to the ship - the port of Malaga is about 2 km from the station. I did notice people walking from the entrance of the port to their ship but it is difficult with large cases and can be quite a long way – depending on where your ship is docked.
