Princess Zeebrugge - Blankenberg shuttle

[OldJerseycruiser]

Does anyone know what Princess charges for the shuttles from the port to Blankenberg? We will be visitng there on our cruise in August and previously, we have only been there with P & O and they don't charge.

I too would like to know this or even know if Princess has a shuttle to Blankenberg? My understanding is that the larger ships usually do. We are sailing on the Grand Princess next week so if anyone knows, please let us know... Can you buy tickets when you get there or should you pre-order them.... Awaiting good advice

As far as I know the shuttles are provided by the local commerce so you will spend your money in their shops. In this case presumably the shuttles are put on by Blankenberge commerce and Zeebrugge Port Authority. The shuttles are free. Blankenberge is quite a nice place with a beach and shops selling chocolates.

 

I was on a shuttle to Blankenberge just a few days ago (Cunard cruise). From Blankenberge we took the train into Bruges which took around 10 minutes.

We have traveled many time to this area and would recommend the coastal tram.

There is a very nice beach in Heist, with shops and places to eat within walking distance from the ship.
