@rhohea - We cruised in 2016 through Iceland and on to the Faroe's so I can only comment on three of your ports.  

Akureyri, Iceland - No need for a shuttle, you dock very close to town which is under a 10 minute walk, though the main shopping street is closer to a 20 minute walk up hill from the port.  Our excursion dropped us in the shopping area at the end and we had a pleasant walk back to the ship.  

Reykyavik, Iceland - We boarded here, but talking to pax who were continuing on there was a free shuttle into town.  It's some distance to the main attractions from the cruise port.

Isafjordur, Iceland - No need for a shuttle, you dock directly in town which you can walk all of in under an hour.  It's a tiny town but charming.  There would be plenty of time to do an excursion then walk the town on your own.  

In Zeebruge, you can walk 15 mins to the train station or follow the crew members to a local shuttle bus that will drive you to the station for a couple of Euros, and then take the local train into Bruges. In Stockholm, you can take a city bus from the pier into town - when we told the driver all we had were Euros and hadn't exchanged any Krona yet, he kindly waived us aboard. Helsinki and Tallinn are walkable from pierside, and in Helsinki, I highly recommend the nearby ferry ride to the island of Suomenlinna, a UNESCO Heritage Site (and Finland is on the Euro system).

 

Amsterdam's Centraal Station is a 10-minute walk from the pier, or you can take the 26 tram one stop to Centraal - look for the Muziekgebouw-Bimhuis signs in the passenger terminal and take the cross-over bridge to the eponymous station. Buy the one-day transit pass, and from Central Station, you can take the 2 or 5 tram to the Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum. You can also take the 16 or 24 tram out to the Heineken Brewery if you have the time and the inclination (of which we had neither!) or the 13 or 17 tram two stops to the Anne Frank house (during peak season you'll need to pre-purchase your tickets, which we did not).

 

Haven't been to the last two stops on your itinerary - yet! - so others will need to weigh in.

Klaipeda is a short walk (5-10 minutes) from the pier into the central town square. Due to the narrowness of the streets the shuttle we took on a recent RSSC took longer than the walk back. The city provides free WiFi so many members of the crew walk into town to Skype with family back home and can point you in the right direction.

Agree that Tallinn and Helsinki are both walkable from the pier. Disembarkation in Stockholm had a convenient taxi stand with both regular taxis as well as a generous number of vans.
