Cruise Denmark & Norway (2024)

Kutteren Havnegade is a cute restaurant in the city of Copenhagen in Denmark. It is located right next to the beautiful Nyhavn. It's a casual eatery that offers great, simple dishes to an affordable price that everyone can afford.

Passing the community in Freetown Christiania, part of the city of Copenhagen in Denmark. Christiania is an intentional community and commune in the Christianshavn neighbourhood. We loved this small house.

During a city trip to the city of Copenhagen in Denmark this is a nice place to visit. Mikkeller Baghaven is a beer brewery & bar located next to the Reffen, where you can eat well and not too expensive. Friendly staff who are happy to explain and the choice of beer is very large. When the weather is nice there is enough opportunity to sit outside and enjoy the surroundings.

Welcome to the Trekroner fortress in the city of Copenhagen in Denmark. It is a well preserved sea fort at the entrance to the Copenhagen harbour. From 1713 until after World War I, Trekroner Fort was part of the fortifications of Copenhagen.

The royal pavilions in the city of Copenhagen in Denmark. The two small pavilions on the quay in front of the Port Authority Building were built in 1905. They are today used when the Royal Family crosses the harbour to board HDMY Dannebrog, the Royal Yacht, which is docked at Holmen.

Passing another modern and beautiful building in the city of Copenhagen in Denmark, the Royal Library or Playhouse. The Playhouse is the national centre of dramatic art, tailored in every detail for top-level theatre productions.

We loved the 'Vor Frelsers Kirke' in the city of Copenhagen in Denmark. The Church of Our Saviour is a baroque church, most famous for the external spiral winding staircase that can be climbed to the top, offering extensive views over central Copenhagen. It is also noted for its carillon, which plays melodies every hour from 8 am to midnight.

We saw so many beautiful buildings while floating through the canals of the of Copenhagen in Denmark. This here is the royal library (Kongelige bibliotek). This modern building is among the largest libraries in the world and the largest in the Nordic countries.

Passed the marble bridge, one of the many, many bridges in the city of Copenhagen in Denmark. Everytime the boat passed one of them we had to stay low so we didn't get hurt. The marble bridge is made of fake marble by the way. Still looks very pretty though.

Nyhavn 17 is a late 17th-century building situated at the corner of Nyhavn and Lille Strandstræde in central Copenhagen, Denmark. Being one of the more famous buildings in Nyhavn, it was listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1951.

Walking away from Nyhavn in the city of Copenhagen in Denmark. Really pretty and very busy part of the city with many restaurants, but the colourful houses and the boats made it all worthwhile to have spent some time here.

We loved this small kiosk on Kongens Nytorv in the city of Copenhagen in Denmark. Great place to relax from a city walk with some light refreshments.

While visiting the city of Copenhagen in Denmark we always visit Rosenborg castle. Especially on a sunny day like the one we had this time around it looks exquisite when seen from the rose garden.

After a wonderful walk in the park (King's Garden) we ended up at the Rosenborg castle in the centre of the city of Copenhagen, Denmark. We had a great view from the rose garden.

Our cruise ship, the MSC Euribia, safely parked in the harbour of the town Nordfjordeid in Norway. The ship was connected to the shore by a flexible walkway which was fine in the morning when we arrived but late afternoon a storm came up suddenly and it became quite scary.

The first stop after we had left the town of Nordfjordeid in Norway. Lake Hornindalsvatnet looked spectacular from this scenic lookout. With hardly any wind the lake perfectly mirrored the clouds.

Stopped at a gorgeous scenic viewpoint to enjoy the wildflowers at Lake Hornindalsvatnet near the town of Nordfjordeid in Norway. Really loved the way the clouds were mirrored in the lake below.

While driving around in the spectacular Norwegian countryside we stopped at this panoramic lookout overlooking Innvikfjorden near Dalehøgda in Norway.

Stopped along the way near the town of Stryn in Norway. We loved this awesome landscape near the Stryneelva river. A true picture perfect postcard view.

Enjoying the view while sitting on a bench overlooking a small island in the Loelva river near the town of Loen in Norway. We needed to go on our way, but I could've stayed for hours here.

We loved the Lofossen falls in the Loelva river near the town of Loen in Norway. They were not high but pretty wide and with the amount of water flowing the sound was overwhelming.

After watching the Lofossen waterfall on the other side of the bridge we're standing on, we could see the Loelva river continuing near the town of Loen in Norway. The water was really wild.

Away from the big crowds that come with cruise ships we had decided to take a less traveled road near the town of Loen in Norway. Ended up driving along Lake Lovatnet with its clear turquoise water.

Happily driving towards the Nigarsbreen glacier when we came across some cows roaming freely along Lake Lovatnet near the town of Loen in Norway. They were friendly and we could pass easily but they sure looked nice.

Stopped while on the small road to reach the Nigardsbreen glacier. This here is the view from the Lodalen viewpoint near the town of Loen in Norway. We couldn't get enough of the colour of lake Lovatnet.

Looking back at beautiful lake Lovatnet near the town of Loen in Norway. It is truly an amazing drive with one spectacular view after another. The combination of the turquoise lake with the lilac wildflowers made it even better.

To get a closer look at the Nigardsbreen glacier we had to follow the road along Lake Lovatnet all the way to the end. We can definitely recommend this lovely trip near the town of Loen in Norway.

If we ever return here we would love to stay at one of these cottages, idyllicly located next to Lake Lovatnet near the town of Loen in Norway. With their grass covered roofs they fit perfectly in this natural environment.

After spending quite some hours near this lake we had a final look at Lake Lovatnet near the town of Loen in Norway. It was hard to say goodbye to the amazing turquoise coloured waters surrounded by high mountains and waterfalls.

At the end of our day in Nordfjordeid we stopped at this nice picnic spot with a magnificent view on Lake Hornindalsvatnet near the town of Hornindal in Norway. Very peaceful place to spend some time.

Enjoying the scenic view on the small island Abelholmen in Lake Hornindalsvatnet near the town of Hornindal in Norway. Such a serene environment to relax for a while and take it all in.

Enjoying the amazing views while sailing on the cruise ship MSC Euribia towards the Atlantic Ocean. The clouds did not prevent an amazing sunset with some final rays of sunshine in the Vågsfjorden, part of the Nordfjord in Norway.

Me and my daughter went for a nice walk along the inner harbour in the town of Ålesund in Norway. We really admired the art nouveau style buildings and the colours used. Such a lovely town.

Me and my daughter took the 418 steps up the Aksla mountain in the town of Ålesund in Norway. It went a lot faster and easier than we thought. The views of the Ålesund are just amazing.

After leaving the town of Ålesund the weather wasn't all that good, cold even. So we were all really surprised it got a bit better once the cruise ship MSC Euribia reached the Atlantic Ocean. The evening ended really nice while standing on deck being grateful for this unexpected sunset.

Me and my daughter conquered the 700+ steps up towards the base of the Brekkefossen waterfall near the town of Flåm in Norway. Although strenuous, it was an absolutely rewarding hike.

After a steep and strenous climb up the 700+ steps me and my daughter were rewarded with this beautiful view of the Brekkefossen waterfall near the town of Flåm in Norway.

Gorgeous valley view of Flåmsdalen in Aurland, Norway while enjoying the scenic train ride from Flåm to Myrdal. Beautiful views of rivers, mountains and waterfalls in lush green.

The scenic train from Flåm to Myrdal provided us with some spectacular views of the Flåmselvi river in the valley Flåmsdalen in Aurland, Norway.

The scenic train ride from Flåm to Myrdal and back stops for five minutes at an otherwise unreachable waterfall. Kjosfossen is an impressive waterfall in the valley Flåmsdalen in Aurland, Norway. Part of the experience is the appearance of forest spirit Huldra.

On our way back from Norway and sitting comfortably at a bar at the back of the cruise ship MSC Euribia sailing in Danish waters. We really enjoyed the view and loved this fishing vessel at sunset.
