WisRiver Posted April 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 21, 2022 We are booked on the MS Fridtjof Nansen departing from Reykjavik on June 1. There appear to be two docks that the Nansen could dock. Miðbakki is in the old harbor near the center of Reykjavik. According to the Scarfabakki Harbor is the new cruise terminal about 3 km from the center of the city. In 2019 when we were on a Holland America cruise, our ship docked at Scargabakki. According to the Icelandic port calendar, the Nansen is shown as docking at Miðbakki. However, I remember hearing that Miðbakki is no longer used. Any insights or information on where the Nansen would dock. It would be helpful to know, since it may effect our choice of rental cars for our pre cruise touring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted May 13, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I was hoping you would get an answer by now. I am going on the 17th. I have been told by julie on your cruise that Covid testing is being done at the Fosshotel before boarding. Then transport to the ship from there. Any other information you find, please post. I may be changing hotels. Thanks Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WisRiver Posted May 14, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted May 14, 2022 We received our travel documents for the June 1 cruise. You have to go to the Fosshotel Reykjavik to start the boarding process. You must be Covid tested at the hotel before boarding. Passengers are charged for the cost of testing (65 Euros). Testing starts at 1 PM with the highest number cabins first. Testing is finished by 4 PM. After testing Hurtigruten transfers passengers to the ship. With this procedure it does not make any difference where the ship docks. We have to find a car rental agency close to the Fosshotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted May 26, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Thank you. That gives me an idea when I will need to be at the Fosshotel. Enjoy your trip. You should be leaving soon. Hope all goes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
