Shuttle bus to/from ship & how to figure out piers

[honeymoon cruiser 614]

Hi everyone!

 

A couple questions to help me prepare for our upcoming cruise...

 

1) I keep reading that cruise lines will have shuttles with nominal fees to/from city centers (in Helsinki, Stockholm). Is this the case? If so, how much and how would I find out if our cruise ship offered those?

 

2) Is there a website that lists which piers the cruise ship is going to be docking at? I think this would help me as I prepare.

 

Thanks everyone!

Hi everyone!

1) I keep reading that cruise lines will have shuttles with nominal fees to/from city centers (in Helsinki, Stockholm). Is this the case? If so, how much and how would I find out if our cruise ship offered those? Best to ask on the board for the cruise line involved. Also, do some reading here on the board. Some ports you dock right in town, so no need for a shuttle.

 

2) Is there a website that lists which piers the cruise ship is going to be docking at? I think this would help me as I prepare. Do an internet search for "Helsinki Harbor" or similar. You will find pier assignments and maps.

 

Thanks everyone!

There is no single Web site that lists all the information. You'll have to search for a site for each harbor.
