Gothenburg, Sweden…Arendal port

[lasekeye]

Our ship will dock at Arendal port (next summer)….would there be shuttles from port to own, or do we need to use public transport?

While public transport is somewhat available on a normal day (but requires pre-order by phone and requires you to change ) , I think shuttles would make most sense here, unless there are special departures for public transport when a cruise ship is at Arendal. Quay is about 12 km outside the city center.

However someone who has recently been there might give you a better answer.

We were recently in Gothenberg with Holland America and they had made arrangements with the port to have shuttle buses take passengers into town.  It cost $19.95/person and was not well organized, the queue was very long/slow to board the buses.  They had 8 buses continuously shuttling people.  Once you paid the fare - charged to your stateroom acct, you could go back/forth between city centre/ship as much as you wanted for that port day.
