Eirrol2 Posted July 24, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hi All, I was wondering if I could get some advice on how to get from the Oceania terminal in Stockholm to the airport (ARN). We will be traveling on the Marina on August 9th thru the 19th. The ship arrives in Stockholm at 7am and we’re scheduled to fly out at 12:25 pm. Any suggestions on a reliable transportation company? Thank you, Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted July 25, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2018 usually there are taxis waiting at most ports or check the Baltic port of call forums for names of private drivers you can prebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanandJim Posted July 25, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 25, 2018 usually there are taxis waiting at most ports or check the Baltic port of call forums for names of private drivers you can prebook +1 The taxis in Stockholm are immaculate, plentiful, metered (i.e. regulated), the drivers all speak English and they all take credit cards. A car service would be overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buggins0402 Posted July 25, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Taxis are unregulated in Stockholm. Here is a TripAdvisor sticky with the names of reputable companies: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Travel-g189852-s304/Stockholm:Sweden:Taxis.And.Rental.Cars.html Agree on a price and method of payment prior to your ride.

Exactly. Only certain companies are recommended by locals as reliable. Also, it is very likely that there will be a long line - make sure you have enough time before your flight and start early.

Winters Gate Posted July 27, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Make sure only to use taxis from https://www.taxistockholm.se/en/ or https://www.taxikurir.se and you will be be safe, the Taxi marked in Sweden is not regulated and there are some really bad ones out there witch can cost you a lot of money if you take the wrong car! Some of the bad ones also try to have very similar names as the reliable ones so just take an extra look, and remember that you are not obligated to take the first Taxi in line, if you feel a bad vibe just choose another one!

gbits Posted July 27, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 27, 2018 One of those recommended companies, I think it’s taxi Stockholm, has an app that you can preorder your transport. It worked great for us Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Rosebery Posted July 28, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 28, 2018 When we disembarked last year, the line took us an hour. There were guys at the front limiting the flow and looking fot tips. Either prearrange or get off early. The fare is supposed to be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLSD Posted July 28, 2018 #9 Share Posted July 28, 2018 We disembarked from a Seabourn cruise in Stockholm almost a month ago. We took a taxi to the airport. There were many taxis lined up and waiting at the port. It was very easy to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayton787 Posted August 4, 2018 #10 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I am using taxi Kuri. You can Set up in advance on their app. Similar to Uber. Also prepaid with credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWagner52 Posted August 6, 2018 #11 Share Posted August 6, 2018 We used Uber in June to get from the port terminal to the airport. It worked wonderfully well and we didn't have to deal with wondering whether the driver took credit cards, and of course we knew the price up front. Be advised as the airport is quiet far from the cruise terminal, it is not a cheap fare, but it was about the same as what taxis charge, but seamless.

Eirrol2 Posted August 7, 2018 Author #12 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Wow, I never considered Uber. Did you use the same Uber app you use in the states? Thanks to everyone for all of the great suggestions. I have downloaded a taxi app, but may look into Uber first. Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWagner52 Posted August 7, 2018 #13 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Yes, used the exact same Uber app. Worked beautifully. And I do believe the price was the same as taxi and no haggling or making sure you got the "right" taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eirrol2 Posted September 6, 2018 Author #14 Share Posted September 6, 2018 As an update, I’d thought I should advise anyone with a similar question that finding a taxi upon disembarkment was simple, several were waiting just outside the terminal. We took the advise of others and used Taxi Stockholm. The cost was $63 as opposed to over $100 per person for using the transportation offered by Oceania.
