Rare ontheweb Posted February 21, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2023 In case there are more than one port, we will be sailing on NCL, so whatever port they use. DW said she googled it, and it was walking distance away, but that does not sound right to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallasm Posted February 21, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 21, 2023 it's about 50 km (32 miles) from Reykjavik to the Blue Lagoon - not walking distance. There are buses or shuttles from the Cruise terminals to the Blue Lagoon - they can be ordered on their website together with entrance fee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skarfbakki harbour (where there is cruise terminal) to Blue Lagoon car park is 51 km and if Google Maps estimates correctly, would be 44 minute drive by car. It is possible your DW noticed Laugardalslaug pools, which are within the city and there you could indeed walk from the harbour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitemare Posted February 21, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 21, 2023 There are other pools and spas in the city of Reykjavik that might substitute for the BL. Sky Lagoon is new and fancy in the city, but it isn't walkable as it is on the outskirts. BL from the city is a $75-$100 cab ride, or you can book bus transfer from the city on the BL website or book a tour to there thru any of the major tour agencies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ontheweb Posted February 21, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Ok, I knew it was not true. I just asked her where she got the information that you could walk there. And her reply was no, she meant you could walk to the bus that would take you there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I have the correct terminal either. I'm getting conflicting info when trying to find where cruise ship terminal is located. Is it near downtown Reykjavik? or approx. 3 km east of downtown? Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a link to the official cruiseport website, searchable in several ways: https://www.faxafloahafnir.is/cruiseships/ Obviously combined with the public transportation (blue squares for buses) portion of Google...
