2dogcarol Posted September 12, 2005 #1 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I will be taking the Regatta Baltic cruise next June. We embark in Stockholm. Where does the Regatta dock in Stockholm? Is it in town? Can you walk to the Stockholm sights or do you need to take a taxi? Thanks for your information. Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoshona2 Posted September 13, 2005 #2 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Hi Carol, Stockholm has a lot of docks for ships. When we docked in 2003, it was NOT walking distance. There are cabs outside and the crew knows where the city bus stop is if you don't want to take a cab or a tour. I really recommend Rick Steves' book on Scandanavia as a guide. The AAA has his books at reduced prices to members. I would also suggest you call Oceania when the cruise gets closer to find out the place where the ship will dock. There is a website that shows where the docks are and which ship will be docking there. Maybe someone on line can give you the site. Best regards, Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dogcarol Posted September 13, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Hi Sheila, Nice hearing from you again. Thanks for the info. I have gotten a group of 8 together for Denrus/RO tours in St Pete. It is fun planning everything even tho the cruise is still nine months away.

Druke I Posted September 16, 2005 #4 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Jusr back from Regatt'a 8-31-05 sailing, and ship was docked At Friihamnen 638, 20 minutes from downtown Stockholm. Due to flight problems, we didn't arrive until late afternoon, so didn't go into Stockholm that day, but my wife did the next day before sailing. Too far to walk - but a quick 20/25minute cab ride from dockside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dogcarol Posted September 16, 2005 Author #5 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Druke I, Thanks for the information. So I know we need to take taxis in Stockholm and Gdansk. Do the cab drivers take US dollars? If not, how do you get their currency before you get into town to use the ATM? We are taking tours in St. Petersburg. Are the rest of the ports within walking distance of the ship? Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druke I Posted September 16, 2005 #6 Share Posted September 16, 2005 2dogcarol Ship has Swedish Kroner available - cabs take credit cards, not sure about dollars. Ship docked some distance from town center in St. Petersburg, Gdansk, and middle of nowwhere for Brugge. Handy docking in Amsterdam, Helsinki, Warnemunde, and Copenhagen.
