Still twice in the itinerary? Also note that cruises to Flåm and Geiranger Will be limited from 2026 due to emission restrictions.

sorry to be a bit critical - but correct spelling will help with better guidance. Kristiansund - or Kristiansand? Stabanger - might be Stavanger? And is Beiranger Geiranger? Is Geiranger twice in the Celebrity itinerary? I know that some Norwegian ports has a ‘strange spelling’! anyway Celebrity is in my view the best option, however August is a bit late for an Arctic Circle cruise where you’ll have Midnight Sun I June/July. The cruise does include three deep fjords to Olden, Flåm and Geiranger the HAL has several very small ports like Eidfjord, Nordfjordeid, Jondal, Kristiansund (Sand?) and Skjolden. Also two 7 days Cruise with some sea days.

More realistic with an hour but it's a steep descent.

Thank you - enjoy your Arctic Circle cruise.

Enjoy the midnight sun and the North Cape. be prepared that it may be somewhat colder north of the arctic circle.

Copenhagen is a fine DIY city - the sights are gathered within a relatively walkable area. Here is some inspiration beyond Tivoli. I would suggest a trip with the canal boat, change of the guard at 12 at Amalienborg (royal castle), Nyhavn with an ice cream in Rajissimo, a visit to Runde Tårn, and Rosenborg Castle.

Quite a few capitals Copenhagen, Oslo) and check where the ports of Brussels and Paris are located - can be a long transport. Impossible to predict - but the North Sea can be rough at times - also Skagerak between Denmark and Norway. often fine weather in May.

Yes, June 4 - sunrise at 03:50. The weather was very fine that day, but a little chilly and windy on the upper decks so early in the morning. The temperature was above 50ºF. I wore a North Face windbreaker.

A little dependent on the weather, but it is breathtaking to sail slowly through the magnificent fjords. This is the entrance to Geiranger early morning and the Seven Sisters Waterfall-

It takes about 6 hours - I recommend being on the upper decks 3 to 4 hours before arrival - around sunrise (4:30am depending on the date). Seven Sisters waterfall is close to Geiranger - approx. 45 minutes before arrival. It is the same fjords when entering and leaving, but in the evening there is dinner and often many other activities - so best in the morning - there are very few guests on the upper deck in the morning.

Hope for 70s Unfortunately, my favorite coffee bar is not in Copenhagen. I can recommend the 'Original Coffee' bar, there are several in Copenhagen - eg: Illum Rooftop, ØSTERGADE 52 ; Store Kongensgade ST. KONGENSGADE 124; Bredgade, BREDGADE 36, Orientkaj, ALEXANDRIAGADE 8;

I cannot answer for all restrooms in Scandinavia, but generally they are free. If payment usually by credit card - chip or contactless.

It is fastest by taxi - 20 minutes - bus/train is 30 minutes. Price for taxi is approx. DKK 300, while public transport is DKK 100 for four people one way. For ordering and paying for a taxi, App is recommended. Price for taxi is by trip. Note that tips are included in taxi prices in Denmark.

I can't see Silluethe in May but June 3. Calling at Oceankaj terminal 1. You can take a taxi from the cruise terminal to Nyhavn - there is no Uber in Copenhagen. An alternative is public transport - bus 25 (cruise days only) or 164 from the bus stop at terminal 1 to 'Orientkaj' Metro and from there M4 to 'Kongens Nytorv' Metro close to Nyhavn. You can buy a bus/metro ticket at the kiosk at Terminal 1 (credit card and possibly long queue) or on the bus (cash only) - the best option is to use the DOT ticket App (same ticket for bus/metro. This is a fixed tour -no a HoHo. An alternative is the Harbor Bus (boat) route 981 /992 - same ticket as your bus/metro ticket - you can take the harbor bus from Orientkaj to Nyhavn.

I never have NOK in my pocket when visiting Norway - Either CreditCard or ApplePay - For CreditCard a contactless card is widely accepted.

There are two good hotels at the airport next to Terminal 3 - Clarion and Comfort (both Strawberry Hotels). From here there is a Metro to City every 5 minutes or a train every 10 to 20 minutes to Copenhagen central station. The alternative is a taxi to a hotel in the city.

It is possible to use credit cards and ApplePay in the vast majority of places and stores. I would suggest a contactless card as some payment terminals cannot read the magnetic stripe. There are public buses where it is only possible to pay with cash on the bus, but tickets can be bought in ticket machines or in an App.

Apex docks at Oceankaj, terminal 3.

No NCL ships are listed for departure 9 pm in September at Copenhagen Port web. NCL Dawn has two calls in Copenhagen in September - one at Oceankaj with ETD 4:00pm and the other at Langelinie with ETD 7:00 pm. Probably an error in the excursion - contact NCL.

Immediately I thought it was an independent provider of excursions. If it is an excursion arranged by the cruise line, there is an error either in the time of departure or the excursion - what is the ship and date?

without knowing which ships it can be difficult to come up with a good answer. Immediately, I would think that the time of departure stated by the cruise line is the correct one - an external excursion company cannot know when your ship sails. My best advise is that you take a taxi to Tivoli - buy a ticket at the entrance and take a taxi back to the ship. there are two cruise piers in Copenhagen. Alternative is public bus/metro.

Baggage will be checked through to the final destination - just go straight to the departure gate. It is the recommendation with a minimum of 90 minutes layover in Istanbul for international connections, so two hours is perfectly fine.

Itinerary and ports are the same. It is also my impression that the excursions are the same in the various ports. Hurtigruten uses seven older and different ships - however, all have been renovated recently - please note that the cabins are very different - double beds or bunk beds. Havila's four ships are new and identical. Both serve good Norwegian food - French delivered in the ports. Depending on how you order, you must check the terms and conditions regarding payment and cancellation. For Hurtigruten, there can be large differences in the raw price from the Norwegian web to 'overseas prices'

Another vote for Celebrity: Flåm, Geiranger are the tow best deep fjords impunity Norway and Bergen a very nice coastal city. Princess: Skjolden is ‘secondary’, while Olden is fine - also Stavanger is ‘secondary‘. Note that availability of cruises to Flåm and Geiranger will be very limiter from 2026 due to restrictions on emission from cruise ships.

If you have a SAS Plus ticket for your following flight out of CPH the SAS lounge (opposite finger C) is available. Many outlets in CPH and you might also have time for cinnamon buns at Lagkagehuset (several locations).
