Seaport (where ships can dock).
Airport (where airplanes can dock).

If the speaker is not also a sailor (ie. arriving at a shipping port), then it's a figurative meaning. It would mean either "make a stop" (again, the person is travelling but it doesn't have to be by boat) or even "visit the local bar".
