Cruise ships either go into the terminal at Leith or stop by the Forth Bridge and anchor, with tenders going into the HAWES PIER in Queensferry. This is a short trip, normally under the amazing bridge to the pier where you can just stroll and enjoy the town or take the X99 bus into Edinburgh. Jean shows you both routes. We have many films on exploring Edinburgh. The shuttle fee if not covered by the ship, is a round trip of £12 (2023). It takes about 35 minutes and drops you in Princes Street by the shops. Cross Princes Street Gardens for the castle and Royal Mile, and our new find, Bertie’s Fish and Chips on the way down to the Grass Market. Jean didn’t fancy the option of the train ride over the bridge.
Many ships visit Edinburgh, it is a regular with SAGA ships, Marella, Ambassador, the Aurora and Arcadia. Find the chat sites for these ships on our home page.

ends – is your next stop Newcastle? if it is, there are many choices.
If you have been to Edinburgh so many times you have exhausted it, try a trip to Lindisfarne, or leave the ship, do a trip, and join again in Newcastle.
