NCL Le Verndon, France

Does anyone know if NCL offers a shuttle to Soulac Sur Mer? Apparently there's no transportation options near the port of Le Verndon, and the bus/train/ferry stations are too far to walk. Any help will be appreciated!

I have searched the France Ports...Le Verndon... board and no one knows if NCL offers transportation...only a shore excursion to Bordeaux.

Thanks!

I'm afraid I cannot help with this specific port, but you may luck out and find that NCL offers a free shuttle. This happened for the port we visited in June marketed as Kotka in Finland (but really Hamina). Public transport (taxis, buses, etc.) did not go into the secured port area, and passengers were not allowed to leave the ship unless they had an excursion or were boarding the NCL shuttle (literally right next to the ship). Of course the NCL excursions had booked up in advance, and what were they going to do with all the people left out? I think NCL kind of had no option but to provide the shuttle for free!

 

It's definitely a bit frustrating that they do not provide info about shuttles in advance. I have read here on CC about shuttles (that NCL charges for) in the European ports, but it never seems like people know in advance if they will be offered.

 

Crossing fingers for you. 🙂
