Carol28 Posted February 14 #1 Share Posted February 14 We will be tendering in Edinburgh in June. Finally, Celebrity put up some shore excursions, but we choose to walk around the city. How do we get from the port to the city? Will there be a shuttle? I suppose there will be private taxis, but does the city or Celebrity arrange for anything? (One shore excursion offered is for $52 Celebrity will take us to the city to walk around by ourselves. I don't even know if they pick us up to bring us back to the port. Anyone have info?

Chanbre Posted February 14 #3 Share Posted February 14 A little web searching finds: https://www.whatsinport.com/Queensferry-Edinburgh-Scotland.htm gives some details of the cruise terminal and general info on travel options. https://www.cruiseforth.com/content/ship/1265-celebrity-silhouette/ which is about Celebrity Silhouette Tendering to South Queensferry on July 2, 2024. The page has several links to other useful details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far easier is the X99 Cruiselink, which doesn't appear on Google as it only runs when ships are tendering to Hawes Pier. https://www.lothianbuses.com/cruiselink-x99/ It runs from the end of the pier, as a minimum every 20 minutes (more often for larger ships, as it leaves when full). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
