Stop 1 on our Baltic Sea cruise was Copenhagen, Denmark! In this video, we visited some popular destinations by bus before we boarded our cruise ship.
Our cruise ship – the Norwegian Getaway – was scheduled to depart Copenhagen, so our travel group decided to arrive a night early so we could take a tour of the city before leaving. We stayed at the Copenhagen Island Hotel, which was very modern and nautical! My brother and I will give you a hilarious tour of our room to start.
The next day, our Filipino tour group packed up, ate breakfast, and boarded the bus. We first stopped at the Little Mermaid statue followed by the Rosenborg Castle. Then we drove to the waterfront to St. Alban’s Church, which is home to the famous Gefion Fountain. Then we visited Nyhavn, which had to be my favorite stop on our tour. Lastly, we ended our tour at Amalienborg Palace, home of the Danish royal family, to see Changing of the Guard Ceremony.
Then we drove to the port, and proceeded to board our cruise ship! This was our first time on a cruise and our first time in Europe, so we were pretty excited. But I wasn’t excited about having an inside cabin without any windows, so without my parents and brother knowing, I upgraded us to a balcony room. (Yes, I paid for the upgrade.)
