Trip Optionals
- Location: Copenhagen. Cost: $299.
- Embark on the perfect day trip from Copenhagen to nearby picturesque Roskilde, the former capital of Denmark. Start your exploration by visiting the Viking Ship Museum on the banks of the Roskilde Fjord. 1000 years ago, these early settlers of Scandinavia sailed along the shores of Europe, up rivers and across the open sea in an era that is now known as the Viking Age. Their specially crafted ships made these journeys possible, and the museum focuses on five original Viking ships that were excavated from the neighboring fjord over 60 years ago. The originals are now exhibited in the museum: learn about the challenges the archeologists were facing and see the reconstructions of the wrecks in the sailing harbor. After the museum, take time to stroll the colorful pedestrian main street and browse the boutiques and cafes. In the afternoon, journey through 800 years of Danish royal history by visiting the UNESCO World Heritage Listed Roskilde Cathedral. With its origins dating back to the 12th century, its many unique royal chapels reflect the changing European architectural styles and serve as the final resting places for 39 monarchs so far. Return to Copenhagen in the late afternoon. Duration approximately 8 hour(s). Transportation is included. A minimum of 20 passenger(s) is required to operate this option.

Our guide was a little new at this part of the world, but our local bus driver, Harald, kept her up to date with information. Accommodation was great, especially in Flam and Oslo. One thing we were not aware of is that Collette is an American company, and as such, we were the token Australians on the tour. We love Americans but we also love the homogenous nature of sharing a tour with people from multiple backgrounds, so if you are not American, be prepared for this.
