I've just read a review for Britannia and the reviewer said they checked in on line, is this available and if so how and where do we do this?

Thankswolf

Looking at getting drinks package would it be better to get it the day after our arrival because if we have first day with our late boarding and drills may not get value for money first evening, other days won't be a problem.

Thanks wolf

Thank you

We are planning on taking the train up and cycling back down, so I have written to the café (where you hire the bikes) about the lack of train tickets. I'll let you know what they reply.

Thanks very interested we would like to cycle back down already booked bikes for return just need to get train tickets.

Hi

we would like to arrange our own Flam train tickets but on the Flam web site they are all sold out,there is another site but the tickets are not available to next month,we will be arriving in June and it looks like there is only the Brittania in port,does any one know if tickets are usually available to purchase to avoid the ships expensive excursion.

Thanks

Hi,

 

I think you can also buy them on the Norwegian railways site. 

 

http://nsb.no

 

But I have never done this.

 

Are you planning to get the train up and straight back down again ?

 

You may be able to get further info if you post it on the Northern Europe ports of call board I have always had very helpful info from local Norwegians and other experts when I have done so.

Ive looked at that site have to look again in a months time when they release the tickets for June,we may just go one way and cycle back down.

Thanks

Hi Wolf,

 

Yes you can buy them on the day but sometimes they are sold out.

 

You can also buy them on the http://Visitflam.com website, it also shows what availability there is at present. They might hold some back for day sale but not 100% confidant on that.

Hi

Are you allowed to buy tickets on the day for Flam railway on the day,the Brittania is the only ship in that day and it looks like we berth at 8:45 ?

Thanks

Hi

We want to arrange our own excursion in Flam and I notice it's a possible Tender what time will we be able to get off the ship and do the people who are doing P&O excursions get priority.

Thanks

Can you use credit card on local bus or do you need Kroner?

We recently went to Briksdal Glacier by public bus. It departed from Olden Harbour at 10:02 am from a clearly marked bus stop, next to a crosswalk and to the left of the cruise pier. The trip to the glacier took about 40 minutes through absolutely gorgeous scenery of waterfalls and crystal clear lakes. The bus was modern with large clean windows and very comfortable. Our driver made a quick stop along the way (I think for a smoke) and we hopped out to snap some pics. Upon arrival, the bus waited at Briksdalen until 1:30 pm which gave us lots of time to walk to the glacier. You could also take a troll car if you wished. On the return, the bus didn't go into Olden Harbour right away but made a brief stop at the town centre, about a 10 min walk from the cruise pier. Cost was NOK 68 pp on the outbound and NOK 60 pp on the return. Can't beat it.

 

There was also a Glacier Express Shuttle Bus that ran from in front of the Visitor Info Centre at the cruise pier. Similar to the public bus, it also went direct to the glacier and waited there for about 2 hr before heading back. You could book in advance or purchase on the day. Cost was €45 pp. Do the math and make your decision![/quote

Hi

When you get off the ship what options are there on getting to Briksdal Glacier we do not mind walking?

Thanks

Thanks for your replies. Hopefully be able to get the train booked and do it DIY.

We are going to Fjords next June 11th in Flam , can someone tell me how much roughly will the excursion on Flam railway and bike back down be through P&O , also when are you able to book the Flam railway journey on line if we decide to DIY for next June?

Thanks

Thank you

Hi

Can someone tell me when you can find out what acts are on and what nights they are performing on the Brittania cruises so we can pre book?

Thanks

Wolf

Hi

Can you please let me know how many weeks/ months is it before you can book the excursions?

Also when do you know what acts are on the ship if you wanted to book the Limelight club?

Thanks

Wolf

Thank you I will look at the options you have given me.

Hi

Can anyone suggest the options for parking for a week at Southampton?

Thanks
