Another Baltic Question- Shuttles?

[ukbound]

Some cruise lines offer shuttle service to town. Does this happen on the Baltic with the Dream? I'm wondering if I need to book excursions for Copenhagen?

We sailed this route last Aug. No Free Shuttle is provided. In most of the stops you can walk into main part of town if you do not mind a nice hike. We normally took a taxi in and walked back. A lot of people walked both ways.

When we ailed in June there were shuttles in many cities. In St. Petersburg there was not, and in that city I strongly recommend using the shps excursions. In some as well the port is in walking distance to the city itself. I believe in Helsinki and Oslo there were shuttles. I will have to pull out the dalies and be certain as to the ports that had shuttles.

Oslo docks in city centre -no shuttle required

stockholm -excellent shuttle with 3 stops NCL has someone at the stops to tell you what to look out for

Copenhagen - Tivoli shuttle inc entrance fee

Warnemunde- docks at pier 3 min walk from the town

 

generally $10 per shuttle xcept Tivoli $25

all were worth the money

Thank you so much! Any recommended excursions for Helsinki?

[jimbo23]

Get into the market square and take either a 3b or a 3t tram which is a circular tour of the city which comes back to the market square.

 

Consider a ferry ride to suammelina fortress from the square as well

 

This takes a while to load but its worth it

We visited the Rock Church carved out of solid rock. We stopped at the 1952 Olympics stadium and then the Senate Square. I left the tour in Senate Square and did a little walking on my own and I stopped at a street market. I bought a small bouquet of carved wooden tulips. It was close enough to walk back to the ship from there.

Thank you for your advice. We haven't sailed NCL since the 1980's. Everyone on this board is so polite and helpful!
