Unfortunately, I have no experience with hiking to Pulpit Rock - maybe @kaisatsuhas more insight.

It is absolutely possible - 3 hours by train/bus - train from Copenhagen to Vejle and from there bus to Billund.

Good advice from the two previous posters. It is a long way from Warnemünde to Berlin - easily 3 to 4 hours each way

There are several operators. No one drives to Oceankaj, but it is my opinion that a transfer from Oceankaj is included/additionally purchased. Check Stromma and City Sightseeing. Be sure that it is a shuttle from Oceankaj and not Langelinie.

Caribbean Princess calls at Oceankaj Terminal 3 on July 3. It is 7 km to Kongens Nytorv and 8 km to Tivoli. There is no shuttle - taxi or public bus from terminal 1 to Orientkaj and from there metro to Kongens Nytorv or Rådhuspladsen (Town hall Square) Since the ship already sails at 4 pm, I would skip Tivoli and prioritize Nyhavn and a canal tour (1 hour). If possible the noon guard change at Amalienborg (Royal Castle)

Oslo is very similar to Stockholm and Copenhagen - easy access from airport and good hotels in central Oslo.

Without knowing the date, I don't know which quay - I assume Oceankaj. The cheapest transportation is public bus from Oceankaj to Orientkaj and from there metro to the City centre. Alternative is a taxi. Tivoli will certainly be popular with children - Canal Tour is my personal favorite in Copenhagen. Look for Netto Boats (Netto-bådene). Alternatives are HoHo bus or a castle tour. Copenhagen is very walkable and easy DIY.

When is your cruise? - if outside the summer season there are very few opportunities and many activities are closed in the small towns.

All mentioned are port stops - Hellesylt might be a ‘technical’ stop before Geiranger, but difficult to know when just a list of ports.

You hardly have the opportunity to start your cruise in all these ports, do you? Possibilities are slightly different in relation to your starting point for flights. It is highly advisable to fly in at least a day before the cruise in case of flight delays and cancellations. Kiel, Warnemunde Germany can be a challenge. Airport is either Berlin or Frankfurt. Long transfer. Stockholm Sweden, Copenhagen Denmark - easy access from airport - direct flights from major airports. Bergen Norway - few direct flight options - depends where you’re coming from. Not possible to start a cruise in Skagen Denmark, Hellesylt Norway, Geiranger Norway, Stavanger Norway, Flam Norway, Alesund Norway, Kristiansand Norway

Yes, correctly understood. It is the same landscape in and out morning and evening, but often many activities in the evening.

I can't comment on which cruise lines have good itineraries - and they constantly change itineraries. There are not many that include all three deep fjords to Geiranger, Flam or Olden. Two of the deep fjords are fine - fine coastal towns are Bergen, Stavanger and Ålesund.

This is an arctic cruise - the itinerary does not include any of the deep fjords.

I second gnome12 - option 2. As it is an Arctic cruise to Honningsvåg og Tromsø, the dates also has significance for the midnight sun. Sailing through the fjords is breathtaking - be on the upper deck in the deep fjords already at sunrise. But I would also recommend a visit to viewpoints in Geiranger, Flåm or Loen (Olden).

Your luggage will be checked through to VCE - customs in VCE. 1 1/2 hour for transfer in PHL will be fine. If same route back customs and immigration in PHL.

I use momondo.com to get an overview of options, but most often buy tickets directly from the airline. Regarding the lay-over, I trust that the airlines indicate a correct transfer time. If changing flight in Europe, luggage is checked through to the final destination - flying back to USA customs processing takes place at the first airport - therefore I often choose that the transatlantic flight to the USA is to the final destination if possible.

You can only book trains 120 days in advance at Vy - but in general train schedules are available by now.

What schedules for May aren’t out yet? Immediately most schedules are available now.

There is a bus from Honningsvåg to Nordkap (North Cape) - departure from Honningsvåg at 10:45 and back from North Cape at 13:00 You can find details and book at Snelandia Travel planer, (use Norwegian Language spelling) - App also available.

In fact, you can walk - also by bus, train or rental car, but of course it very much depends on from where in Portugal and to where in Spain. It will help if you can be more specific.

Looks like Ålesund is replaced by Nordfjordeid and Molde. For this Itinerary only sailings to Geiranger will be restricted from 2026 - hence only second cruise if only doing one. No restrictions for all the other ports of call. In addition to Geiranger, restrictions sailing to Flåm from 2026.

Some inspiration for Skagen - and City map

Thank you. Yes, the area around Græsted and Gilleleje is my absolute favorite in summer. I will also say too early or too stressful - need to be at the airport a 7 AM - traffic can be heavy in the morning. Hope you enjoyed the additional day in Copenhagen.

Happy New Year. Yes, you have Business Class check-in and SAS Fast Track - usually not more than 10 to 20 minutes in total. Two hours will be sufficient- not a problem at all - also time to enjoy a light meal in the SAS lounge. Enjoy your flight.

If you compare ports for the 12 and 14 nights the 14 nights is better. It has three deep fjords, also Olden - and Stavanger is a nice coastal city. Molde and Haugesund are very similar.
