Daisi Posted June 26, 2021 #2 Share Posted June 26, 2021 AMA should send you the docking location with your documents prior to your cruise. It is easy to get a cab from the train station to the docking area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosier2017 Posted June 26, 2021 #4 Share Posted June 26, 2021 If you google AMA docking locations their booklet comes up and they list docking locations. Looks like two possibilities in Basel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KLRDUKS Posted July 1, 2021 #6 Share Posted July 1, 2021 If you go to the AMA site and click on My Cruise at the top right of the screen a drop down appears. Click on Prepare for Your Cruise and that takes you to another page with a TON of great information. At almost the end of the list of topics is Docking Locations. Click on that and it shows you all of the "normal" docking locations for each City. Know that you will not no for sure which location (or a completely different one) you will be at until a day or two before when the boat actually gets there. Safest bet is to call the boat directly (under another tab called Ship Contact Information) the day before or even the morning of embarkation. Also under the My Cruise tab is an FAQ with a TON of additional great information as well as information about the AMA Loyalty Program. You can also check-in for your cruise if you have your deposit in. This is where you put your passport and other contact information as well as flight arrival/departure information. I highly recommend doing this before you board as that way, you won't be filling out as many forms before getting to your room. Finally, this is where you will be able to sign up for some of your excursions several weeks before your cruise. This is especially important for optional or special excursions as they sometime fill up and they can not add additional capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks According to Rome2Rio.com the drive takes 59 minutes, but without actual locations, that assumes city hall to city hall. The train from Zurich central station to Basel SBB takes as little as 54 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF-1 Posted July 1, 2021 #8 Share Posted July 1, 2021 thanksgnome12. I appreciate the feedback info. I have a ways before my cruise so won't book anything for hotels or transportation yet. Our trip is Jul 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
