Cruise ship pier to Royal Yacht Britannia

[sandancer]

Can anyone suggest the easiest way to visit Leith for the Royal Yacht. Will be using a Rollator so bus/tram/train needs to reasonably accessible although a few steps are possible. This will be in August so expect it will be busy.

From which port?  Edinburgh is served by four.

South Queensferry which I understand is a tender port.

https://www.cruiseforth.com/content/ship/ is your "go to" website.  Find my ship then getting around.

 

This should be a very easy journey should you opt for the express bus X99 from Hawes Pier to the city centre.  Express and direct to either St Andrew Square or to a stop on George St very close to it. (Edinburgh roads are subject to quite frequent road closures and diversions so it could be either)

 

As trams to Ocean Terminal for Britannia  leave from St Andrew Square there will be  minimal walking distance between getting off the bus and boarding a tram. As a bonus your X99 ticket also gives you free use of buses and trams so no need to buy tram tickets.
