Creator's Key Takeaways

After more than 20 years of cruising, we've learned the best port days are usually the ones we planned ourselves.

It was $60 a person. The Gimpo airport, this was for a private transfer. I tried to find it what it was per person, but I believe they were all sold out by the time that I looked.

We highly recommend it. Uh if you have time to put it on your itinerary in Inshen, they had an indoor section that was very impressive.

It really was one of the more impressive countries we've ever been to. It's become a favorite. We can't wait to go back.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use Uber or public transportation instead of ship transportation to save money.
Get an eSIM card from Airalo for data and calling Uber.
Pack light, especially if adding a land portion to your cruise.
Ask locals or tourist desks for help, as they may know about complimentary buses.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Getting an Uber from the port to a museum or hotelTake the complimentary bus to downtown Incheon first, then call an Uber from there.
Understanding costs in South Korea due to many zeros in pricesDo the currency conversion; amounts are often much lower than they appear.
