Hello We are going on a cruise to Hawaii on X. We have never been on Hawaii before. Normally I have everything under control and all things are planned and ready far in advance. But due to the situation, I have waited and waited. (so tired of disappointment of cld) But here we are, so close to sailing and things look far more promising😅 Excursions offers by X is a bit limited. And informations provided about the tours are very limited. So we booked tours that seemed correct for our taste and not sold out. Normally we always do privat tours. But I find it very hard to find options. Our roll call are quiet compared to earlier cruises. We have booked by X: -Rainforest Waterfall Hike, Lahaina, Maui. (First day of overnight stay) We are very 🧐 if its better to do Road to Hana? We are a bit concerned to sit in a car all day. And what to do on day 2 I Maui. Again, very limited options by X. -Waterfalls Spectacular, Hilo -Captain Zodiac Raft, Dolphin and Snorkel Adventure, Kailua Kona In Honolulu we will stay a few days after the cruise. We are booked at Hilton Waikiki Resort Ails-tower. I have contacted 2 companies for privat tours, so I'm waiting for tour recommendations for a full day+half day. How long time do we need for Pearl Harbour? Book a tour or go by our self? We will fly to Kauai for 4.nights and then back to Honolulu. Tour recommendations are very welcome. If we want to fly helicopter, were is the best place to do this? Is dinner+show a must in Hawaii? Best rgds

Hello! 1.We are booked on X and they have an option on cruising days to book a tender tour to get closer to the glaciers. Has someone tried it? Is it worth the cost. They have the option at Hubbard and Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier. We are from Norway and one of us has lived on Spitzbergen for 2 years. So we have been kayaking on Svalbard, been lot out to glaciers in that area. Whales are not the biggest thing for us, we have seen it often and it's not the most important thing for us on this trip. We are used to be out in the nature and have clothing for all events;) 2. Ketchikan We have booked a trip called Rain Forest Island Adventure, has someone tried it? Other recommendation for what we might do instead? We dont want a full day in car/bus big group tour. 3. Other ports we have booked: Sitka: Wilderness Sea Kayaking Adventure Juneau: Bike & Brew Glacier View Skagway: White pass scenic railway TIA

😅 well, I can just tell you straight away…. The railroad between Oslo-Stockholm is old. From Oslo central station to the Swedish boarder, the railway is totally worn down… So that’s one of the reasons they desperately try to agree on a new railroad. SJ don’t bother to drive the newer trains. They use the oldest they have, since it’s not possible to drive on fast speed on the Norwegian side. And summer maintenance is a never ending storytelling in greater Oslo🤪🤪🤪 They do lots of work and it’s getting slowly better. But until they make a new railroad between Oslo-Sweden, it will not be better…

Kristinehamn - Karlstad Linje: Stockholm–Karlstad–Oslo Period: 12 juni – 9 augusti. Påverkan: Tågen ställs in del av sträckan och ersätts eventuellt med buss, alternativt går en annan våg. this is from SJ in Swedish. it says that trains between Oslo-Stockholm is affected of maintenance on the railroad from 12.June to 9.August. It will be train+bus on your travel or they will do a different route by train compared to the usual train ride. This is different from day to day. For best updates on train travel between Stockholm-Oslo, use sj.se You will find more options and better explanation on the service for this trip. Sj.no is the correct place to look for tickets from Oslo-Trondheim/Røros-Bodø.

are you looking for tickets in near future? There is a strike at SAS, SK airlines. the majority of us that commute to Stockholm-Oslo fly. the strike has been on for 10 days now. Pluss the security lines at Arlanda Airport is totally out of control. It has been for weeks and it’s not getting better tomorrow… So many travelers search for other options. So that’s why it’s impossible to find a direct train ticket in near time. So as of now the train nonstop are sold out. First available ticket I could find is 18.of August. and also, the summer maintenance service on the railroad is affecting traffic on the trains. You can also use the bus service directly to Oslo. It’s okay. Nothing fancy, but it works well.

sorry for late reply. You can still by single tickets or 24h card at Narvesen or Router office at Jernebane Torget or Nationaltheatret station.
