The Nyhavn or New Harbour in Copenhagen, Denmark

It was a dream came true when I visited all the Scandinavian capitals last 2013. Thanks to the wonderful cruise trips I experienced last year, it did finally happened seeing those lovely capital cities in Scandinavia. One of the cities we visited was Copenhagen, the capital city of Denmark.

One of the sights I experienced there was the  Nyhavn, literally known as New Harbour. I could still remember,  I and my friend had a lunch in one of the restaurants and cafes in this area.

 Nyhavn is literally known as New Harbour.  It is a 17th-century waterfront, canal and entertainment district in Copenhagen. Here you can find a lot of  brightly coloured 17th and early 18th century townhouses and bars, cafes and restaurants.  The New Harbour  stretches from Kongens Nytorv to the harbour front just south of the Royal Playhouse.

It was spring season when we visited the Copenhagen. The weather was still a bit cold that time but the sun was shining so brightly. You can see it at the image I took from our visit. If you just want to relax while sipping a cup of coffee, Nyhavn is indeed a place  to go. You can sit in one of  its cafes and restaurants and also enjoy the scenery.

The Nyhavn is also  known as "heritage harbour",  where you can find many historical wooden ships at the canal.

Nice to Remember that Luxury Cruise in Scandinavia

It is almost a year now since the luxury cruise we had in Scandinavia. It was so far a fantastic experience joining that holiday. Some of the things I cannot forgot from that trip were the various entertainments we had every night, the foods served on their restaurants and the experience of seeing beautiful cities in Scandinavia including Oslo, Norway and Copenhagen, Denmark.

The Theatrium in Aidabella ship. This is where most of the shows and entertainments are taking place.

 One of my favorite shows at night are the live music including the singing and dancing at the Theatrium. It is in the center of the ship which can be used as a nightclub. For sure you can see some music sheet stands when the singers are performing.

I am missing that cruise so badly because of the very memorable moments I had. The fun, various cuisines I tasted, entertainments and the exciting experiences I had from that cruise holiday were simply priceless. Thanks to a dear friend who joined me during that trip, or else I won't be able to go alone. I am really thankful to her and indeed she is a great travel companion.

Travel Confirmation Received from our Trip to Scandinavia

The countdown is about to begin!  The other weekend on July 13, 2013, I finally received our travel confirmation for our trip to Scandinavia. I am quite excited about this trip because  we will be visiting four countries in this region.  Places to be visited in this trip  are  Helsinki, St. Petersburg, Tallinn and Stockholm.

My  cruise trip  in Scandinavia boarding Aidabella and visiting  Oslo and Copenhagen last April 30 to May 4, 2013.

I  actually booked this travel last year in November.  That time I received  an offer in one of the travel agencies where I  also booked my trips. It is a combination of cruise and bus trips. I invited some friends to go with me and they decided to do so.  One of my friends invited her sister from Canada to visit  Europe and also decided to go with us.

These cities  that are included in the itinerary are only some of the cities I wish to visit in Scandinavia. I have been to some places and cities in this region including some Baltic ones and I am glad that I booked this trip.  We actually saved 200 Euros because we booked it earlier.  This semi-cruise trip costs almost 800.00 Euros including the bus trip from Bavaria to Rostock (where the cruise trip will commence), overnights in our swimming hotel at the ship,  breakfast, tours and tour guides to these cities and all port fees.  Our one day visit in St. Petersburg, Russia is also visa-free.

This is the advantage of planning and booking our trip earlier, most of the times we can get  cheaper ones.

I believed I need to  slowly finish some offline chores before the trip will begin. One more thing, this is the first I will be celebrating my birthday in a ship. I am  really excited about it. Thanks Goodness for everything especially for all the opportunities to travel to many places and countries. I am hoping  for more travels in the future and also wish for good health always for me, my family, relatives and friends.

Cheers and talk to you soon! Take care everyone!
