I watched Silver Dawn at Geiranger on a live stream in YouTube yesterday. I was a bit surprised that it was tendering there, instead of docking per Geiranger Cruise Port schedule I found online. Were you expecting tendering there? Or was it a change of plan, and why? TIA.

… and I was really, really glad that you had read my post and cared to shed some light. 🙏

Thanks for the info. Your info confirms the additional research I did online. The port of call of Euribia at Hellesylt/Geiranger this year is rather confusing. Out of the 16 sailings in the region, 10 of them follow the schedule you described and the other 6 will dock at Hellesylt from 9am and 8 pm. The rule of thumb should be to trust the itinerary published at the MSC website for each sailing, supplemented with the 11am arrival info at Geiranger from you for those sailings that have the port of call marked as Hellesylt/Geiranger. Thanks again.

Thanks. Looking forward to your information.

Hi Preziosa, How do you plan for the excursions at Hellesylt/Geiranger? Have you signed up for any offered by MSC? I will be sailing a few weeks later than yours. I am assuming that Euribia will be docking at Hellesylt 9am-8pm, so I have booked round trip local ferry rides between Hellesylt and Geiranger and a bus tour to 2 view points at Geiranger. Up to now, the MSC website still says the ship will visit Hellesylt/Geiranger which traditionally means the ship will stop at Hellesylt to let out some tourists who have booked excursions from there and then the ship continue to sail to Geiranger. All excursions posted at the MSC site seem to be based on this but I don’t think it is true. Could you drop a note to clarify the above issue once you know the detail before/during your sailing? TIA.

Will be embarking and disembarking at Copenhagen in July, from California. Based on the research I did, there is a Uber-like service Viggo in Copenhagen. You need to download its app first. This is the transportation option I would like to use to/from the cruise terminal.

Good to hear from someone who will be on the maiden voyage. Some friends and my DW+myself will be on this ship 3 weeks after you do. Hope all ship operations will be running smoothly for you. Do you plan to log some notes here during your sailing? Up to now, the MSC website still says that the ship will make a port call at Hellesylt/Geiranger, but what I can find everywhere else online says the ship will dock at Hellesylt 9am-8pm. I am betting the latter is correct and have planned excursions accordingly.

You probably already knew about this - MSC Cruises announced that the naming ceremony for its newest ship, the MSC Euribia, will take place on June 8, 2023, in Copenhagen, Denmark. https://cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/2023/02/msc-cruises-to-launch-msc-euribia-in-copenhagen/

One more question: On the (super) Meraviglia class ships, are there more than one broadway shows in the theater, or is it the same show every evening? TIA.

Booked on a July 2023 sailing to Norway fjords. First time cruiser on MSC. So far the “MSC for Me” app doesn’t know anything about Euribia and won’t allow me to sign in with my booking number. I’d bet that Euribia is a smart ship and it’s a matter of time before it is supported. My first question is, once MSC for Me supports this ship, based on past experience on other smart ships, would I be able to pre-book entertainment/shows with it? May have more questions later. TIA.

Thanks to hallasm for your prompt response. One more question if I may. If I get the DOT Billetter app on my iPhone, may I buy a Copenhagen 24-hour pass good for airport to city and inner city (up to Oceankaj) transportation for multiple persons if we always move together? TIA. P.S. I embarked/disembarked and spent a few days pre-cruise in Copenhagen several years ago for a Baltic cruise, so I have a good orientation about the city and feel comfortable in using public transportation there.

Found the cruise terminal on both July 2nd and 9th for MSC Euribia at cmport.com. It will be Oceankaj C333 (Terminal #3). Sorry about the noise. I guess the free shuttle from the Orientkaj metro station would be the best option to reach Terminal #3 for embarkation. What would be the taxi fare from Oceankaj to CPH, ballpark figure, please ?

Haven’t posted anything here for a few years since the pandemic started. Hope I am doing it correctly. 🤞 Four of us will be arriving at CPH on July 1st, 2023. We plan to stay at ProfilHotel right next to the central station. We will be boarding MSC Euribia the next day, and returning on July 9th and go to CPH. A few questions: Which cruise terminal will the embarkation and disembarkation be at? Is there a web page/link I can check for these as the sailing days get closer? Will bus #25 be going to oceankaj around the time of the subject sailing? How about the free shuttle bus? What is a sensible way to go from CPH to the central station, with a one-day pass to ride the train, or Viggo electrical car for 4 with luggages? TIA.
