Shuttle buses

[Jo and Rob]

How often to the shuttle buses run? Do they run continually throughout the day? We will be at Le Havre, La Rochelle, Bilbao and La Coruna. Do you have any tips as to what times to avoid etc?

many thanks

From my experience they run continuously. There is sometimes a bit of a rush when they first start running. Best not to leave it till the last one when returning to the ship.

It can vary from port to port . as its the local chamber of commerce who run them they are often very frequent altough often in the afternoon there can be less as more people go ashore in the mornings.

We usually left the ship early and returned early afternoon, but it does depend which ports and what is on offer.

 

In Brest there was a massive queue waiting for return buses as they were only running a couple and there was very little to do in town.

 

At some ports we did notice the buses returning later in the afternoon were all full and there were large queues to get back on ship - especially those arriving when the trips came back at about 4pm.

I remember waiting over an hour in Brest for the shuttle bus, when we did get on the queue was even bigger than when we joined it.

The bigger the ship, the more people to move....
