Thanks for all your help! We are going to be traveling from California. As to the timing, we are restricted to the timing due to my work. They won't let me off basically June-August. We are going Mid-May through June 1st. I know the weather will probably be a bit colder and more rain, but we are doing this as an early year anniversary (our year anniversary is actually august) and I was determined to go to Europe this year! I will look more in to St. petersburg tours and maybe something in stockholm. Did you guys just walk stockholm? if so anything in particular we should walk to? Thanks for all the information on Norway!!!

My husband and I will be traveling alone (Age 26, and I'm 24). He has been to Europe and saw most of Norway when he was in his early teens. I have never been to Europe. Depending on the history, we are usually okay with going somewhere like museums. I LOVE castles, gardens, and just pretty buildings/scenery. Overall we are open to most things.

The only things we are thinking of doing so far is the Flam Railway. That's our only thing for Norway. In Alesund we are thinking of doing the hike up the 400 steps to Aksala hilltop on our own. No plans for Geiranger or Bergen. Heard you could walk a lot of it on your own.

As for the second cruise, there is one excursion offered in St. petersburg we are interested in and it is a 9.5 hour tour to Peterhof and the Hermitage. We are in St. Petersburg from 7am-11pm so don't know if we could catch a second excursion or not. We know having only one day in St. Petersburg is hard so we'd love to see as much of it as we can! We will just be walking Tallin, Estonia and Helsinki, Finland. We have not decided yet on Stockholm. If there is a must do there let us know. We may just jump on some the city tour buses at some of these ports just to hear some history.

My husband is very excited to take pictures at all of the ports between the 2 cruises with our camera we bought. If time, I'd love to do a little shopping to pick up some souvenirs at any of the ports.

Hi,

We are taking a royal caribbean cruise in May. We are taking 2 cruises on their ship back to back. The cruise leaves out of Copenhagen (of which we will be spending 2 days prior to the cruise leaving there). If you have places we must see in Copenhagen, please let me know :)

Our first cruise will go to Flam, Alesund, Geiranger, and Bergen. We are trying to limit the number of excursion as they are soooo expensive! Out of those ports, is there a specific excursion that is must-do? We are hoping to walk most the ports so if there is a port that you think we can't walk, let me know :)

The second cruise will be going to Stockholm, St. Petersburg, Tallin, and Helsinki. We have heard that St. Petersburg is a must do excursion and it looks like Peterhof is a place I would definitely want to see. We will be in St. Petersburg from 7am-11pm. If you have other recommendations we'd appreciate it. If you know of a specific excursion that are also must-do at the other ports let me know :) Sounds like you have traveled the world!
