By the time Sam, Frodo, Merry and Pippin got back to the Shire (and cleared all of Sauruman's men out....which they didn't show in the movie, but was important to the story) Frodo had literally been through hell. He'd been stabbed and been beyond what mortal death should have been. He'd been stung with deadly poison, he'd lost one of his fingers and was beginning to lose his mind to the ring when it was destroyed. It took everything he had just to leave mount doom. There wasn't any coming back from that. He tried for three years after destroying the ring to get his old life back, but some hurts go too deep and never fully heal. Arwen gave frodo her seat on the ship and a necklace to help him feel better. When the pain got too much for him, he left. It wasn't so much heaven as a place of forgettfulness. In the end the only members of the fellowship who were still living by the end of the books that didn't go were aragorn, merry and pippin. Sam went after rosie died, Legolas and Gimli went after aragorn and arwen died. they went to the undying lands of the elves.

The Shire wasn't saved for Frodo bacause after everything he went through he couldn't go back to his old life, he couldn't get over everything that had happened. The ship was the ship that Arwen was going to go on. It was the ship to pretty much heaven, I think? All I got from it was that it was a ship to another place, a happier place, where they would never return, so I take it that its the ship to heaven..
