Nynashamn to Downtown Stockholm

[Dede F]

What is the easiest way to get to downtown Stockholm from the pier in Nynashamn ?  Coming in on Princess Ship, do they possibly offer a bus to downtown ? If anyone has suggestions on this, it would be much appreciated.

There is train service from Nynäshamn to Stockholm Central almost every half hour - the train ride takes an hour - the price is SEK 44 one way.  The station in Nynäshamn is within walking distance of the Cruise pier.
I do not know if Princess has a transfer bus - you might ask that question at the Princess board or the Roll Call.

I hope Carnival provides a shuttle on my upcoming July Baltic cruise, but if not, thank you for the above information.   Is currency - bills or coins - needed for the train fare?  Or are credit cards accepted?   

 

My cruise has two stops in Sweden (this one and Gotheburg) and in Copenhagen, and I am trying to decide if I need local currency for the countries that don't use euros.    I have no problem obtaining local currency if needed, but if credit cards are widely accepted even for small purchases (public transportation, maybe a bottle of water or a snack, maybe some postcards or other small souvenirs), that makes for easier planning.

@Joanne G.
You do not need local currency - almost everything can be paid with credit card. If you have a phone with data roaming the SJ app for Sweden or the DOT ticket app for Copenhagen is an easy solution.

You can purchase tickets at the web (print ticket) , App or ticket vending machines.
Only problem is public buss in Copenhagen - here only cash but tickets can be purchased at the kiosk at the terminal (Oceankaj) - might be a long queue so app will be convenient.

IIRC for some of the commuter trains stations  subway and some harbour ferries you can blip your card at the gates (spärrar/automatic barrier). However this only work for VISA, MasterCard and American Express

Thank you!     From the information on that site, Apple Pay and Google Pay will work, too.

Yes, most terminals will be contactless - then payment by phone is possible.
