Stockholm Dock?

[Polecat]

Our cruise on the Insignia will terminate in Stockholm. We have booked a room at the Hilton Slussen on our own therefore we do not have transfers from Oceania. How far is it from where we dock and what would be the best way to get to the hotel?

 

Thanks.

Taxi, Stockholm is a very small city..

Email the hotel and arrange for a car to meet the ship to avoid the line for taxis.

It takes about 10-15 minutes to get to Gamla Stan from the ship and costs about $20. The taxi takes credit cards.

Thanks for all the info. People on another board were talking about a dock that sounded far from Gamla Stan and I was concerned that Insignia would dock there. it sounds like it should be no problem.

Dear Polecat,

 

The mega size ships are berthed very far from Stockholm. This is one of the reasons we love to cruise on Oceania.

When we were there aboard the Regatta (or was it the Insignia? They're all starting to look alike to me!), the ship wasn't docked at Gamla Stan, but rather, at Frihamnen, over on the east side of the city, along with another mid-sized cruise ship, the Marco Polo. In this satellite photo the port is on the right, and the city is on the left. You might recognize a famliar image in this zoom photo! While it is a short 15-20 minute taxi ride from your hotel, we actually took the #1 bus from downtown to the pier. It was only a couple of kroner and very convenient.

Polecat: We are also staying at the Hilton following the cruise. Perhaps we could share the taxi?! Darrel and Carol

we have never been able to "share a taxi" in any place in the World after a cruise. There just isn't enough room for the luggage for four people. If you contact the hotel, they might have a van for pickups.
