Basel Airport to Viking Dock

By TravelBugM , April 18, 2014 in River Cruising

Recommended Posts

Debating best way to get from the airport to the Viking dock.

There will be 3 of us, each with a larger piece of luggage and hand luggage. We will have flown overnight, so public transport probably not the best option. Also, will have my 88 year young mother with us, so want to make this as easy for her as possible. She tends not to sleep on planes as she's afraid she's going to miss something! Not quite sure what!!!

Should we pre-arrange transfer or simply grab a taxi from the airport?

I like the idea of private transfer and have been quoted 50CHF by Patrick's Limousine Service. There is only 1 review I can find on line of this service.

I believe a taxi will run about the same cost.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

That sounds reasonable and in the ballpark of what a cab is supposed to cost. Basel airport's website says CHF 50 for a cab between downtown Basel and the airport. No personal experience with taking cabs in Basel, though.

Unless you are very mobile and like to walk I would NOT recommend public transport. The river boat dock (Dreilandereck) is on the edge of town and about 1 km beyond the nearest tram stop. To get there by public transport is complicated... You would have to take a bus from the airport to the train station, then change to the tram, then walk from the tram stop to the boat. If you want to make that easy on your mother, this may not be a good fit!

Did you check with Viking as to whether you could join one of their group transfers? When we were there 3 weeks ago (with Uniworld) we also saw the Viking reps, meeting passengers and overseeing transfers. I don't know their policy about transfers, though, if you've bought your own airfare.

We did see plenty of cabs waiting at the airport when we were there, but it might feel nice to have your transfer pre-arranged, waiting for you when you step out of luggage claim after a long flight.

Thanks jpalbny. I think we'll go with the pre-arranged transfer. Always nice after a long flight to know someone will be waiting and whisk you off, no fuss.

From what I've read, to use Viking's transfer if you haven't booked air with them, is $60 US per person!

Bet & Peg

Last December we took a cab from our hotel - very near the train station - to the Viking dock. Remember we paid 25 CHF. So just twice that going from the airport sounds good - especially for a pre-arranged car!! Basel airport is very small - with French and German sides.

One note - if you're transferring from CDG - request assistance with Mom - you'll need to change terminals on a shuttle and can be very confusing!

Thanks FotoPeg. We are confirmed with Patrick's Limo Service. I will let everyone know our experience as so far it has been very positive.

We fly through Frankfurt, so no problem for mom

Region Europe Rivers

Local Time 2024-09-11 00:16

Port Basel cruise ship schedule shows timetable calendars of all arrival and departure dates by month. The port's schedule lists all ships (in links) with cruises going to or leaving from Basel, Zurich, Switzerland. To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link.

Basel (aka Basle) is a Rhine River cruise port and city in Switzerland, with a population of around 200,000 (ranking it Switzerland's 3rd most - after Geneva and Zurich). Basel is also the country's only cargo port serving ocean-going cargo ships docking at Rotterdam . The city is located near three country borders (French, German and Swiss). Some of its suburbs are on the territories of Germany and France. The official language is German.

On shore excursions/roundtrip bus tours from Basel can be visited Alpnachstad (from where via the mountain railroad Pilatus Railway is accessed the Pilatus Mountain) and also Berne, Interlaken, Lucerne, Kriens. Cruisetours may also include bus excursions to Kembs (France's Alsace region, Haut-Rhin department). Bus tours from Zurich visit Bienne, Neuchatel, Geneva, Gruyeres, Broc, Charmey, Gstaad, Grindelwald (train travel to Jungfraujoch).

Some cruisetours have their itinerary's first leg ending in Austria ( Salzburg ) from where tourists are transported by luxury coaches to Switzerland (St Moritz via Innsbruck). The buses then leave from St Moritz to Basel, visiting Chur (train travel to Tasch and Zermatt), Chateau de Chillon, Berne, Interlaken, Lucerne, and end in Basel (ship embarkation port for the itinerary's second leg).

Basel Switzerland is also the flag-state (port of registry) for many European river cruise ships. All major European river cruise companies offer voyages to and from Basel. Most itineraries are between Basel and Amsterdam (northbound and southbound). As a riverport for Zurich, Basel is the embarkation-debarkation point. The distance between both cities is approx 76 km (48 mi). The train travel time is 1 hour.

Zurich is located on Lake Zurich (Limmat River). Most cruise tours are from Zurich to Vienna Austria and include passing the Main-Danube Canal. Itineraries start in Zurich, with included travel to Basel for boarding the riverboat. Zurich is Switzerland's largest city (population over 400,000, metro around 2 million) and is located at the lake's northwestern tip. Zurich is among the world's largest financial centers being home to major financial institutions and banks.

From Basel are also offered bus tours to Schaffhausen.
