Oceania's Free Shuttles List

Recommended Posts

I thought I read on Oceania's site that they offer free shuttles at all ports to the city center. Or maybe I'm delusional ;-) but that's what we plan on doing for our March cruise.

It may depend on how far the city center is from the dock

 

Some it is a short walk some it is a working port so you are not allowed to walk in the port area

 

Some ports the port provides a shuttle

 

See the list above to see if your ports are listed

You got to watch those qualifier words, here's what the website says. The highlighting is mine.

 

 

  • FREE shuttle service from ship to city center in many ports of call – a daily value of up to $50 per guest

There is definitely a difference between many and all.

I thought I read on Oceania's site that they offer free shuttles at all ports to the city center. Or maybe I'm delusional ;-) but that's what we plan on doing for our March cruise.

Much like LTH28 wrote, it depends on the port location, safety, etc

 

This is O's FAQ. I'll have to inquire next time on board for the shuttle list as I have never seen one. Perhaps kept at the Destination counter

 

Does Oceania Cruises provide free shuttle service ?

Free shuttle busses are offered when:

The ship is docked a long walk from the main thoroughfare

Taxis and or public transportation are not easily accessible from the port. .

The port is industrial and not pedestrian-friendly. The decision on whether free buses will be offered will be based on the port used and will be made closer to or during the sailing

Once on board, a list of ports that will offer a complimentary shuttle into town will be provided.

Updated Shuttles list - with thanks to ANZA (Post 292) and to everyone else.

 

Added information on the following ports:

 

 

 

  • Antwerp
  • Kristiansand
  • Oslo
  • Bruges

Please everyone - feel free to quote and add to / or amend the list as things change. (And no guarantees that the info is accurate)

<CHOP>

Thanks to helping us all out and updating the list. I confess I never have since this was started (though all my ports have been added I think. NO! there is one I can add... later)

 

I think it would also be good to add the date the update was made such as :

Alesund .......................... Dock at town so no shuttle ..... 2017/02/03

 

(that format is not misunderstood as is always CCYY/MM/DD whereas 12/02/2017 is open to interpretation (DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY Feb 12 or Dec 2) .

I think this is a great idea, I think it would be great to have posted by city whether Oceania provides a free shuttle in that city and where in the city the shuttle lets you off.

 

Whoever thought of this post, great idea.:D

Any free shuttle to Honfleur, Gijon, Biarritz & Brest town centers?
Hi member. You hopefully will get more replies if you start a new thread with this question. I suspect most folks don't notice when this sticky thread has been updated as it is always at the too if the list and so just look past it.

 

When you do know about these ports it would be helpful if you would copy the list and add your updates

I may have missed the reason but are there shuttles in any Caribbean ports?

Usually you dock close to town, walking distance

 

One exception would be Key West if you dock at the Navy pier then the port offers a free shuttle to town

Does anyone have information on

Basseterre, St. Kitts

Castries, St. Lucia

please?

 

I can't seem to find them in this topic

 

I'd say that's because there is no shuttle needed there. At St Lucia you're right in the middle of town where Oceania docks. Pretty much the same for St Kitts except it has one of those insta towns at the dock full of Diamonds International, bars etc, then you can walk out of that and into town.

Just back from Middle East Cruise on Nautica In Valetta there was a free boat shuttle across the harbour as there were a lot of ships docked In Limassol there was a shuttle. No shuttle in Rhodes as you are docked downtown. In Haifa no shuttle on Sat but there was one on Sunday.In Sharm el Sheik there was a shuttle bus to a resort area and in Safaga,Egypt there was a shuttle downtown. There was a shuttle in Aqaba, Jordan as well. There is a shuttle to the Souk in Salalah, Oman and also in Muscat. And there is a shuttle from the port to the Dubai Mall in Dubai. Hope this helps

Hi - Does anyone know exactly where the shuttle drops you off in town in Livorno? Is it anywhere near the main train station? Thank you!
The train is a ways from city centre.

Take a taxi to the train or popular option is shuttle which goes to main square and from there can take a local bus to the train. Take note of where the shuttles pick up as might not be in same place as drop off but nearby. Check the Ports of Call board for most recent info and bus/train tips and advice on whatever is your destination.

The reason we took the bus is that the taxi drivers didn’t want to take us to the train station from the ship. They wanted the more expensive fares to Florence.

 

When you get off the shuttle you buy a bus ticket at the tobacco stand across the street from the shuttle stop. Then you walk a block or so to where the bus picks up on the Main Street.

Any info on possible shuttles in:

Shanghai, China

Xiamen, China

Kaohsiung, Taiwan

Keelung, Taiwan

Ishigaki, Japan

Naha, Okinawa, Japan

Nagasaki, Japan

Hiroshima, Japan

Kobe, Japan

Thanks in advance
