doenbucket Posted January 20, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) Will be arriving into Wellington in March onboard Pacific Encounter. Can anyone tell me where the ship will dock? Edited January 20, 2023 by doenbucket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted January 20, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Roughly here: You aren't allowed to walk off the wharf as it is a working wharf so a shuttle is provided to take you into the CBD, with two stops I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buchhalm Posted January 20, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 20, 2023 What OzKiwiJJ said. We just returned from a cruise that had a Wellington stop. Celebrity had a super efficient and free shuttle into town. Yes, 2 stops. No more than 15 minutes ship to town. They had friendly tourist information people at all stops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doenbucket Posted January 20, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Can you tell me where the shuttle drops off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted January 20, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I know one stop is in Wakefield St, near the iSite information centre. That stop is only a few minutes walk from the Te Papa museum. I'm not sure where the other stop is these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondine Posted January 20, 2023 #7 Share Posted January 20, 2023 First stop is in Brandon St near Lambton Quay. Right in the middle of shops not far from cable car entrance. They will give you a map when you board the shuttle. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's the cruise that dictates that. The shuttle bus drop offs are probably agreed with the Wellington council and they try to have the stops where they are most required ie near Te Papa and near the Cable Car. At one stage they stopped using the Brandon St stop as there were road works in that area. They moved it to outside the Old Government Building but I don't think that was a popular stop. Good to see they've gone back to Brandon St. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
