where-to-next Posted January 6 #1 Share Posted January 6 Our Venture cruise in June concludes with flights from Longyearbyen to Leith and overnight hotel accommodation included. We would like to extend our stay in Edinburgh and ideally stay in the same hotel. Does anyone have any idea which hotel Seabourn uses in Edinburgh?

BasandSyb Posted January 6 #3 Share Posted January 6 (edited) Yes, The George first with overflow to The Kimpton. We are on the same trip - advice received from Seabourn when we started pushing for info to finalise our travel. Where you land will depend on bookings volume. We found it easier to just lock in elsewhere for another few days. Edited January 6 by BasandSyb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think/know if I could "hitch" a ride from The George to embarkation port, for boarding on 28 April? Since SB uses The George, perhaps there is way other than taxi or Uber?

TYIA, jdk Our stay at the George is at the start of our Arctic voyage, which includes a stay there plus transfer the next day to the airport for our chartered flight to Longyearbyen. Your voyage does not include a night's hotel and airport transfers. So, no, I don't think you'll be able to hitch a ride to your embarkation port; your voyage has nothing to do with airport transfers and does not coincide with the same date anyway. (If you are Diamond Elite, you'll of course get a free private transfer to the port, within the distance limit.)

where-to-next Posted January 7 Author #6 Share Posted January 7 Thanks all. I'm sure we will be very comfortable at the George! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearts51 Posted January 8 #7 Share Posted January 8 https://edinburghtrams.com/plan-journey/route-maps-stops As an alternative to taxi / Uber, the St Andrews Square tram stop is a 5 minute walk from the George and will take you directly to the cruise terminal in Leith.

Hi Keith: We (Judy & I) will be on the Venture with you. Arriving into Edinburgh, staying at The George, on April 26. I hope to meet up with you - this will be our first time on the Venture and any expedition ship. Best, Jonathan K. jdk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithb Posted January 9 #10 Share Posted January 9 Sorry jdk but what I meant to say is that we are getting off the ship on the 28th. I was just letting people know that the ship is docking in Rosyth port instead of Leith as originally planned. Hope you have a great cruise. We are getting on the ship on April 2nd in Malaga Spain.
