Fairytale travel to Denmark

When you travel to Denmark be sure to bring your childhood dreams with you, because this is the land of castles and fantasy. One of the most famous Danes is Hans Christian Andersen, the author of many fairytales you will remember: The Princess and the Pea, The Emperor's New Suit and the Ugly Duckling are just a few.

One of Denmark's biggest tourist attractions is the Little Mermaid. This sculpture has been in place since 1913 and has become a symbol of the country. Visited by over 1,000,000 people each year, she is the part fish, part woman that Hans Christian Andersen wrote about in another of his fairytales, aptly named The Little Mermaid.

When you go to Denmark, tour this fairytale country and see how many symbols of these wonderful stories you can find. Interested in a Norway tour? Or maybe adventure tours?

But Denmark's appeal and charm is for the romantic adult as well. What can be better on a Denmark tour than exploring castles and palaces or walking hand-in-hand through Tivoli Gardens? At Five Stars of Scandinavia we offer a variety of escorted tours with

Scandinavian panoramas and capitals, travels into the Danish countryside, towns and villages, and explore the nature and history they provide. And when you are ready to return to modern day, the city of Copenhagen provides international shopping as well as small neighborhood shops within easy walking distance of one another.

Did you know Greenland is the largest island in the world? And that it is part of the Kingdom of Denmark? It was granted home rule by the Danish parliament in 1978!

Greenland It is located where the Atlantic meets the Arctic Ocean, and therefore, it is mostly surrounded by cold ocean currents. Northeast Greenland is the world’s largest National park, a land where herds of Musk Ox are still hunted by Wolves, and Walruses relax on ice-floes.
Greenland is a kaleidoscope of color, the countless greens of mosses and liverworts, the orange and grey of lichens and patches of bright flowers. Beyond a light mist shrouds the tops of the peaks while away from the coast the dying sun lights up the dark Arctic Ocean. Explore Greenland on our Expedition cruises with small icebreaker ships!
