delgirl Posted November 5, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Do you have to prebook the shuttle to bruges or can you just turn up and buy a ticket. £22.00 each online. Cunard price is $75.00 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanky Lad Posted November 5, 2023 #2 Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) I usually take the free shuttle to Blankenberge and get the train. Edited November 5, 2023 by Lanky Lad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MrsPeel55 Posted November 12, 2023 #3 Share Posted November 12, 2023 @delgirl ...are you sure the Cunard $75 is just a shuttle? maybe is a tour? will look the details up but generally Cunard has free shuttles, so maybe that price is for more than just taking you there? I know @Lanky Lad is A LOT more experienced in Cunard knowledge than us, we just did our first Cunard sailing last September, and, though I am conscious Cunard's tours are quite expensive, think is a bit too much for just a shuttle, considering they have free shuttles in so many of their itineraries.....

Yes it is more like a tour, but just going to xmas market and coming back. Free time in bruges is $57 for half day and $67 for full day. This price is per person. We usually do ships tours but thought we would be brave and try the shuttle bus from zeebrugge to bruges as is only £22 each. A big difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MrsPeel55 Posted November 12, 2023 #5 Share Posted November 12, 2023 @delgirl big difference indeed! we did something like that in Malaga, before we left the port terminal, as we were walking out, there was a stand, like a ticket booth, from the Hop on Hop off Sightseeing buses... it was £25 each, plus they had no problem on taking my wheelchair (a very small, light, transit wheelchair which my daughter pushes, not the ones with bog wheels) which Cunard not always is the case, and the tours were US$140 for the both of us...we took the Vigo one which was ok, but for the next sailing we will most definitely research to see what is available and what is more convenient... Anyway, hope you have a great time!!! @Lanky Lad hello again! 🙂 how long was all together to get to Bruges? free shuttle and train seems perfect...if I am with my daughter, not sure it will work if I am on my own, will need to enquire with both Cunard shuttle & the rail line to see if is possible with my mobility scooter... I'm determined to go for a sailing that includes Bruges, we ended up not going when in Brussels, I have been dreaming about it since.... which means a VERY long time as Brussels was 2007!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanky Lad Posted November 12, 2023 #6 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Hi @MrsPeel55. From memory it's about a 20 minutes on the shuttle and 10 minutes on the train. The downside is that the trains are only every hour and the station is quite a walk from city centre. The coaches are not allowed in the city centre either so still quite a walk. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MrsPeel55 Posted November 12, 2023 #7 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I thought something like that would be the problem if I'm on my own... thanks so much for the info, will have to be left for next year when my daughter can come with me 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
