  1. Itinerary and ports are the same. It is also my impression that the excursions are the same in the various ports. Hurtigruten uses seven older and different ships - however, all have been renovated recently - please note that the cabins are very different - double beds or bunk beds. Havila's four ships are new and identical. Both serve good Norwegian food - French delivered in the ports. Depending on how you order, you must check the terms and conditions regarding payment and cancellation. For Hurtigruten, there can be large differences in the raw price from the Norwegian web to 'overseas prices'
  2. Another vote for Celebrity: Flåm, Geiranger are the tow best deep fjords impunity Norway and Bergen a very nice coastal city. Princess: Skjolden is ‘secondary’, while Olden is fine - also Stavanger is ‘secondary‘. Note that availability of cruises to Flåm and Geiranger will be very limiter from 2026 due to restrictions on emission from cruise ships.
  3. If you have a SAS Plus ticket for your following flight out of CPH the SAS lounge (opposite finger C) is available. Many outlets in CPH and you might also have time for cinnamon buns at Lagkagehuset (several locations).
  4. My answer is not different from @janetcbl - impossible to predict whether- I would go with either excursions with a refund or insurance covering missed ports.
  5. I am not aware of bakeries that bake cinnamon buns on-site in CPH, but in my opinion Lagkagehuset has the best cinnamon buns - another option is Coffee Lab. CPH is undergoing a lot of remodeling right now, so fewer/smaller outlets.
  6. Thanks for the clarification - as mentioned easy DIY - Copenhagen has a lot to offer - museums, castles and sights - if you want inspiration, I'd be happy to help.
  7. Sorry, but I don't quite understand what you mean
  8. No free shuttle. Bus 25 On Cruise days and 164 All dys - need to get tricket - in the bus only cash, App or Copenhagen Card. There is a kiosk at Oceankaj Selling trickets but expect long queue. Same ticket for bus to Orientkaj and the Harbot bus as well as Metro. Price for 2 zones DKK 24 (one way) to city.
  9. October is low season and I doubt it is possible to find a large selection of excursions - probably that's why the cruise ship only has one excursion. Copenhagen is a very easy DIY location. What are your interests? One option is to book a taxi that can do a private taxi guided tour. My preference activity is the Canal Tour. But many options,
  10. Harbour bus is public service - same trickets/price as bus and metro - if possible buy you bus/metro tickets in app. Alternative transport is bus/Metro or taxi. Hey Captain is a good option.
  11. I plan to only use my phone on my upcoming Norway cruise but do not expect to be able to use mobile data on the ship when at sea - possible in all ports and partially when the ship is in the deep fjords. e-SIM only if the phone is intended for e-SIM. An alternative is if your provider has a plan that also covers Norway. I have 'World coverage' on my phone - it does not cover the whole world, but all areas where I travel. I am amazed at how little data I use - I am currently traveling and have used less than approx. 1 GB.
  12. If Oceankaj you can take public bus (25/164) /Metro M4 to city (40 minutes) Consider the harbor bus 991 (boat) from Orientkaj to Nyhavn.
  13. There are private excursions available - here some examples of Roundtrip Ålesund - Hjørundfjord - Ålesund - and - Hjørundfjord with MS Bruvik. There might be others. I have no experience with the tours.
  14. I think it was a wise decision by Viking after the problems with Viking Sky in Hustadvika, Norway In March 2019 - Viking were not the only ones who had to change itinerary or cancel the sailing.
  15. Port of Copenhagen can be many differentiere locations . - as by gnome12 you need to go from Oceankaj.
