  1. Thanks for posting details of this trip. I have just booked a Uniworld Rhine and Moselle cruise from Strasbourg to Frankfurt in October with a few days in Strasbourg before the cruise. Currently a little low water level in the German rivers so I follow the water level - there are several web pages - this one with an easy overview. The itinerary:
  2. Grønnegade is very close to your hotel - two minutes walk.
  3. Tivoli Hotel is probably not the most centrally located hotel, - 1.5 miles from the Town Hall Square and two miles from Nyhavn. Anyway, a nice hotel.
  4. As I recall it, In the application form, you are asked if you are only travelling to the USA for a transit. If you answer "Yes", you do not need to fill in the details of an accommodation in the USA. If address still required use address of the port agent.
  5. Looks like cruise ships are replacing Stavanger with Haugesund. The topic is discussed here:
  6. Yes, you can have food delivered in Copenhagen. I don't quite understand the question of linking 'Uber/Lyft' and 'DoorDash' in relation to presence in Denmark. 'DoorDash' has just acquired an existing company 'Wolt' and is about to establish itself in Denmark. Still operating under the name 'Wolt'. Uber operated in Copenhagen for a few years but would/could not comply with Danish legislation regarding taxi transport. Hence, Uber does not operate in Copenhagen today.
  7. Go to Grønnegade. For Copenhagen there are two options: Grønnegade 43 which is in the Kongens Nytorv area and Nørreport (Nørre Voldgade 106) which is at Nørreport Station.
  8. All flights will make their way from Barcelona to Milan - some might have higher irregularity than others. Ryanair, Easyjet and Vueling are all low-cost airlines- make sure you fully understand luggage allowance - listed prices is with no luggage - might even be very strict limits on carry-on. There may also be other fees - The final price might not be seen until the ticket is booked.
  9. You’re right - Måløy is a new cruise destination- and a very tiny town. Here is a link to a topic specific for Måløy.
  10. I don't have experience myself in getting employees in a store to change SIM cards, below places where you can buy SIM cards - the top three are telecommunications companies' stores - here is probably the best chance - there are several options in Copenhagen - state your hotel, then I can find the closest ones. YouSee, Frederiksborggade 5 3Butikken, Frederiksborggade 1 Telia, Købmagergade 57 MyTrendyPhone, Fiolstræde 17C, Elgiganten, Østergade 47 Power, Ved Vesterport 4,

    Bali day tour

    The best option is a private driver - pick you up at the port and take you to the airport - and arrange sightseeing. I used Dewa. Extremely reliable. Contact him by email or WhatsApp and ask what the options are. Email: dgrock1140 @ yahoo . com WhatsApp +6285238493089.
  12. Many tours does include both. Two very different views.
  13. I have been in Kristiansand many time but never at a cruise - you might get some inspiration here.
  14. Right now you’ll probably not get any respond from SAS due to the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection. You might need to wait for the protection to come to an end. Save all messages, receipts and what you have received in connection with your flight. If you do not hear anything now, you can apply for compensation at a later date. In Denmark, the limitation period is three years, so you can make claims within those three years. Then you can start making claims again when the bankruptcy protection is over.
  15. Culture Walk is only on specific days and the start is far from the harbor - it surprises me that they have not seen the possibilities when there are cruises in the city - contact them and ask about possibilities e-mail: info@aarhusculturewalk.dk I do not know what you are referring to with Open Market - here is a link to markets in Aarhus. Other poster has mentioned ‘Open Market’ but it can be many things. The biggest attraction in Aarhus is 'Den Gamle By' (Open Air Museum).
  16. European regulation 261/2004 is very clear when it comes to flight delays or cancellations - this applies to all flights within the EU (plus certain other countries) and flights to and from the EU. Flights to the EU, however, only for airlines established in the EU, while from the EU it also applies to non-EU airlines. Many airlines offer a voucher for double the amount of the mandatory compensation.
  17. No, I certainly don't think so. Monkeypox is transmitted by close physical contact or by contact with objects that have been in contact with an infected person. Infection between people only occurs through close contact, and is typically transmitted between people who live together, where infection can occur from the respiratory tract or close contact with body fluids, either directly or indirectly by, for example, sleeping in the same bedding, etc. But like many other diseases, buffets where guests use the same utensils and perhaps even touch food items with their fingers, there is a potential risk of infection.
  18. I would also suggest that you take a closer look at Hurtigruten/Havila. It will give a very authentic picture of Norway. The food served is Norwegian and local products are delivered to the ships every day. My suggestion is to take 7 days northbound from Bergen to Kirkenes. If you want to experience the midnight sun, the itinerary must go north of the Lofoten islands. Fly to Oslo and take the train from Oslo to Bergen - a beautiful train journey. It can possibly be combined with a detour and an overnight stay in the Flåm area. Beautiful fjords. Possibly a few days in Bergen before and in Kirkenes after the voyage. Flight Kirkenes to Oslo.
  19. There are several topics on Skagen and Aarhus in this forum. It is quite small cities - easy walkable - Aarhus might have relevant organized walking tours like This: Link to Culture Walk . Skagen is too small.
  20. Taxi is the only option - available at the airport - the hotel will assist You can pay with credit card - the price is set. No tipping required - included in the price. More details in this topic
  21. If you consider the ‘Coastal Voyage’ then note that there are two operators (exact same itinerary and times) - Hurtigruten and Havila Kystruten (Havila Voyages). Havila is a new operator at the route and has four brand new ships. Hurtigruten is divided into two different entities- Norwegian Coastal Route and Expedition cruises.
  22. As carlmm is saying - you really cannot compare Hurtigruten with Seabourn or Silversea. Hurtigruten however has many excursions along the route and also daily lectures.
  23. I actually do not know if booking a future voyage onboard is possible. I always book where I get the best price . On the .no web, a 20% deposit is paid at booking, which is lost upon cancellation (See table below) - that's more than an Ambassador discount. When you book on-line you do not automatically get the Ambassador discount - you get that afterwards when contacting booking@hurtigruten.com . Register now for Ambassador level 1. My suggestion is that you contact booking and ask if you can get the discount once you have reached level two aften your first voyage. Fees as % of total price of the travel arrangement. 90 days or more - 20% 60–89 days - 50% 30–59 days - 75% Less than 30 days - 100% Hurtigruten is quite different from other cruise operators- also the voyage along the Norwegian coast is part of Norway Public transport system. Many short port stops.
  24. Yes, after three nights you become an 1893 Ambassador (level 2) - visit web for more details. Hurtigruten has various offers including flights. I have also noticed that prices does vary from different country webs - often the prices are lowest at hurtigruten.no - just note that Norwegian (EU) terms applies when booking at the Norwegian web. You might want to compare prices at the different country specific webs. March is an excellent month for Northern Lights - but it can be very, very cold by night.
