Reykjavik: My debarkation (8am)

[fstuff1]

Ncl.

No immigration! Just walked out like any port.

- Free shuttle to opera house

- Taxi line. They added a cover.

No cover when I was there last year.

Also last year, taxi line took an hr!

 

- Taxi prices :o :o :o

Immigration processing depends on where you’ve been traveling and how the ship handles it. If your ports were all within the Schengen, there’s typically no need for immigration procedures. The last time I disembarked in Reykjavik, we’d traveled from Svalbard (outside the Schengen), so we needed to be cleared.

Is there a free shuttle from city center to the cruise port?

What are the hours the FREE shuttle runs? We will be on the NCL Prima in a few weeks with an overnight in Reykjavik.

yes, at the same drop off point from cruise port.
The Yellow city bus will have a sign on front window saying cruise port. Don't take other yellow buses since the opera house is a stop for many bus routes.

interesting.. my cruise was from Tromso to iceland, which included a stop at the Svalbard island.

No signs about immigration. No going though the huge white tent for passport control.

we all walked through the tourist center and out

Thank you for this information. That would be great if they run the bus until 9PM. We have an all day Golden Circle Tour and was hoping to check out the city after the tour.

I think we had immigration because we embarked in Svalbard, so our Schengen entry needed to be registered in Iceland. I think it could be similar if you were on a north Atlantic sailing and were arriving from Canada or the US. Possibly also the UK.

Thanks for the tip.  Where does the special cruise port yellow bus stop in the city center?

Does anybody here know if your ship (Prima) does an overnight in Reykjavic are you allowed to disembark (head to the airport for an early flight) on the second day early....like 6am for example?  Or is it necessary to stay onboard and disembark in the more normal way... all passengers at the same set time.

MrsK hope you see this. What was the outcome in Reykjavik?
