5 km from the Cruise terminal - 12 minutes by taxi.

Yes, very different location - Oceankaj terminal 1. It’s 20 to 30 minutes by taxi.

It is a good list to use as a starting point for a few days in Copenhagen. I will add Christiansborg Castle (the parliament) and pedestrian shopping street (Strøget). But what is actually possible to achieve depends on the times of arrival/departure and check-in/out at the hotel. Also how tired you are after a long flight and possible jet lag. I would recommend taxi from to/from CPH/hotel. Possible to take the train from CPH to Copenhagen Central Station - it is 700 m (1/2 mile) from the station to the Marriott hotel. Also taxi from the cruise ship. Quay C197 is Langelinie,

Both are very good itineraries. 7 nt is a traditional Norwegian Fjords cruise with three of the best ports in Norway. 12 nt is an Arctic Circle cruise with North Cape and midnight sun in June and July. Also includes the two deep fjords to Flåm and Geiranger. From 2026 there are restrictions on cruises in these two fjords.

Havila and Norway's coastal route is a really nice experience with beautiful scenery and good food, but bear in mind that it is not a traditional cruise line but a ship on a regular schedule with 34 port stops from Bergen to Kirkenes - a number of stops at night where goods and cars loaded and unloaded - avoid the cabin on the port side of the ship.

Trondheim, Bodø and Tromsø are very walkable - in Tromsø take the cable car to the view point. For excursions I’ll suggest Lofoten scenic tour and North Cape in Honningsvåg. For ‘bus excursions, I’ll suggest to use Havila excursions - time in port is short or some excursions start in one port and end in another- you won’t want to miss the ship. For Flåm area plan for a night in Myrdal or Voss area - at least one night in Bergen - stay at a hotel at Bryggen - The Hanseatic Hotel is an option.

Some will argue differently, but I prefer northbound from Bergen to Kirkenes. It's mostly about nature - A longer stop every day - some excursions start in one port and end in another. A good option is the train from Oslo to Bergen with an overnight stay in the Flåm area with the Flåm train and sailing trip in Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord. The few days I Kirkenes before flying back to Oslo. The size of the ship has no significance, apart from a few smaller ships that can sail through Nærøyfjord to Gudevangen or through Trollfjord. Even the largest cruise ships can sail the deep Norwegian fjords. In most cases, scenic cruising is an expression of the ship sailing through the fjord to the port - some mention the fjords - others do not - but the same fjords. In and out the ports at the bottom of the fjords. The case with P&O to Hellesylt is 'smart marketing’ as the ship does not sail into the Geirangerfjord but just past the estuary.

Welcome to Cruise Critic - I have made som comments below. You can do Hurtigruten of Havila Voyages Northbound from Bergen to Kirkenes (or southbound) and include Flåm from Oslo/Bergen - personally I find the Coastal round trip too much if the same. I’ll also suggest to do some research on cruise lines if you are not familiar with Fred Olsen, P&O and in particular AIDA. Fred. Olsen options: AUG 14 DOVER Two deep fjords to Olden and Flåm. Aldo Bergen is a god choice. Eidfjord less interesting. Fred. Olsen options: AUG 15 LIVERPOOL Two deep fjords to Olden and Geiranger. Ålesund less interesting than Bergen. Ånsdalnes less interesting Royal Caribbean: One del fjord to Olden. Including Bergen. Therese capitals Copenhagen, Oslo and Ansterdam P&O Iona: one deep fjord to Olden - partly to Hellesylt - do not know about Geirangerfjord, Norway (Cruising) - might sail from Hellesylt through Geirangerfjord. AIDA Cruises: No deep fjords - only Bergen

Yes, correct The ports in the three iconic deep fjords are Geiranger, Flåm and Olden. No deep fjords in the Norwegian Star May 2025 sailing from Reykjavik - only coastal cities: Longyearbyen (Spitzbergen),Norway Honningsvåg,Norway Alesund,Norway Bergen,Norway Kristiansand,Norway

Sailing in to Olden, Geiranger and Flåm does include cruising the most scenic deep fjords - Some cruise lines does mention the fjords. Nordfjord is the fjord leading to Olden Eidfjord is the port in Hardangerfjord Oslo is the port in Oslofjord if you want to see the deep fjords the cruise must include either Olden, Geiranger or Flåm - all located at the end of a deep fjord.

What is the best ship is a very individual assessment - I have good experience with Kong Harald - but all ships will provide a good experience. An alternative to Hurtigruten is Havila Voyages.

The crossing of the Nordfjord to Nordfjordeid takes a few hours - the beginning of the Nordfjord is not that impressive - I would suggest an hour before arrival. Geirangerfjord is far more impressive - before you are passing Sunnylvsfjorden, which is a branch off the Storfjorden. The Geirangerfjord itself is 15 km - it takes about an hour to sail through the Geirangerfjord - just before Geiranger the seven sisters waterfalls are passed - however, jehåg would recommend being on the upper deck at sunrise.

Yes, but only a shorter stop with Hurtigruten (Norway Coastal Voyage) - It surprises me that the cruise lines stop in Måløy - not many options for excursions. Maybe @kaisatsu has some ideas

Måløy is a relatively new destination. A very small town with few options - it is necessary to plan in advance. Here is some inspiration: Måløy Tours Fjord Norway

It's not that simple and not something I can immediately recommend - options are Stockholm or Berlin. Maybe also Hamburg. But in all cases there will be a train change. There is also Oslo, but here it is a ferry and not a train from Oslo to Copenhagen. Absolutely possible but not easy if there is a lot of luggage.
