Eurostar tickets are to / from St Pancras only. Eurostar trains are currently not stopping at Ebbsfleet or Ashford.
If travelling by Eurostar, the transfer time on coach between Brussels and Cologne will be approximately 3.5hrs (including comfort stop).
Just so you know, on the last day of your cruise we will probably need to leave quite early in the morning in order to get you to the airport in good time for your flight back to Edinburgh. Of course, we will make sure you know what the exact timings are in advance so you can plan accordingly.
Just so you know, the Birmingham flight schedule means that you would arrive to the ship after the main dinner time on the first day. Of course, our fantastic crew will welcome you aboard and they are more than happy to arrange a light supper in your cabin for you to enjoy before your first night.
Please note that there is a change of trains and stations in Paris with a short coach transfer involved. Unfortunately we are unable to provide porterage or assistance on your journey between St Pancras and Basel. For passengers with reduced mobility, flying may be a more suitable option
Please note this date operates a reverse itinerary (Basel - Cologne).
