Website with actual dock locations?

[canadarocks]

I know the websites that list which other cruise ships are docked at the same time as HAL in the different ports.

What I'm looking for is a site that shows at which specific dock in each port the HAL ship will be situated. (ie. in Copenhagen the Eurodam is docking at Freeport).

Anyone? :confused:

I don't know of any speciffic site that will give you all that information at the same time.

Might be best to check each port separately.

Good question, but don't know of any site that has this info..Have been told that dock space can often be assigned & then changed by Harbormasters..

Know that in St. Thomas Hal docks in Crown Bay, but never paid much attention to the other ports..Are you looking for specific ports?

When we book our own private tours, all the Tour Leaders know how to find us...

Cheers...Betty

The particular ports I'm interested in are for the Eurodam this summer:

Copenhagen (which I know now is at Freeport)
Helsinki
Stockholm
Oslo
Tallinn
Kiel
Bergen/Kristiansand/Alesund (is there more than one dock at any of these?)
Invergordon
Zeebruge

I agree with KK. I would do a search for each port. May be confusing- I tried it for Athens, but there were so many ferry docks and about 3 different locations where they can dock cruise ships, it was hard to tell where we were going to be.

Copenhagen (which I know now is at Freeport)
Helsinki - Etelasatama/South Harbor
Stockholm - Stadsgarden Pier/Sodermalm
Oslo - Akershus/Port of Oslo
Tallinn - Port of Talinn Cruise Terminal/commercial seaport
Kiel - Cruise Terminal Ostseekai
Bergen - Skolten/Skoltegrunnskaien - the other one is Dokken Cruise T.
Kristiansand - Kristiansand cruise terminal
Alesund - Skutvika Cruise Terminal; Storneskaia
Invergordon - Admiralty Pier/Shore Road
Zeebruge - Harbour Mole/Zeebrugge Cruise Terminal

See above, however, keep in mind that this can always change in ports with additional berths, depending on who else is in port!

I.e., have you gone already, or have you yet to go? If the latter I can give you the lat/long coordinates to plug into Google Earth or Google/maps of where we docked. Email me (see sig) if you want that.

this is tricky, because even when I found it for our last cruise, I was warned on every port that it was subject to change. is there a particular port that you are concerned about? Otherwise, as per advised, you will have to go on each port's website = you can also email HAL but they will give you the same caveat I just did :)

No, been there. But there were 4 cruise ships in on our day, docked in 3, fairly widely spaced locations. Noordam, however, had the best spot:D

http://www.cruisetimetables.com/ This one is helpful but by no means complete or ultimately accurate. You face the same frustration a lot of of have, particularly if we want to do ports on our own.

There are few guidebooks that even show cruise ports; bus and train stations maybe, but rarely ever cruise ports. Our experience too has been they can change at any given time, even up until the last minute when your ship might tell you one spot the night before and then you find when you look out the window it is totally different.

Wind and tide patterns can make or break some port locations, as well I assume greater priority given to other ships and their tourist dollar potential when it comes to who gets the prime docking spots and who gets sent out to the hinterlands.

This is one advantage of the smaller, older ships is they can still fit into the older, downtown and far more convenient docks whereas the bigger ones can end up in the larger industrial port locations. All part of the adventure of travel, but sometimes this makes it pretty darn inconvenient and expensive when you can't just walk off the ship and there you are.:)

Thank you! :D
