Kirkwall, Orkney Islands, Scotland Port Reviews

Cute little town. They have a local bus transport from the port to the city center for free. We strolled around the town and did some shopping. The Cathedral is beautiful and worth seeing.

Visit the Cathedral!

No excursions offered were of much interest, either by the cruise line or other companies, so I walked around town on my own. They have a few shops and an old church worth visiting. There are quite a few historic sites in the area if you can manage to set up a way to get to them.

This location was okay and would have preferred a longer stop in Edinburgh

OK. Nice fields & cows. Kirkwall is pretty. Western Scotland & Glencoe is so much prettier. We would have preferred the Faroe islands. We did an excursion to a neolithic village, which was interesting & was worth the visit.

Took excursion.

Pretty bleak. Did a poorly organized whisky and cathederal tour

We did our own excursion

They should skip this port.

We came on a Sunday and majority of restaurants and shops were closed or closed early. Maybe just don't allow cruise ships to visit on Sunday if 90% of the town is closed?
