Icons of the Viking Age

Disembark your ship and transfer to your hotel. Then, get an introduction to Copenhagen during a guided tour via motor coach. Listen to stories as you pass by the cultural Gefion Fountain, the 19th-century City Hall, and Amalienborg and Christiansborg Palaces. See the Little Mermaid statue and the brightly colored buildings of Nyhavn (New Harbor). The rest of the day is at your leisure. A Viking Host is available to help you plan your time in Copenhagen so you can make the most of your visit.

Enjoy breakfast and a full day at leisure to explore Copenhagen. Or consider joining an optional excursion to two fascinating fortresses. In Hillerød, visit Frederiksborg Castle, an astonishing example of Danish Renaissance architecture. It now houses the Museum of National History and the world’s oldest working organ, the 1610 Compenius Organ. Then, travel to Helsingør for a tour of Kronborg Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and learn about its connection to Shakespeare’s Hamlet. (B)
