How do I get from Copenhagen Airport to Langelinie Pier?
There are three convenient ways to get from the airport to Langelinie Pier.

Shuttle: Shuttle services are usually available from the airport to Langelinie Pier. Contact your cruise line directly for information.
Taxi: A taxi from the airport to Langelinie will take approximately 25 minutes and cost about DKK 200-250 (about $35-40) depending on traffic.
Public transportation: From the airport arrival hall, DSB (Danish State Railways) trains leave every 20 minutes. It will take 12 minutes to reach Central Station. From there you can take a taxi to the pier. Or stay on the train another 3 minutes to reach østerport Station. From outside østerport Station, bus number 26 to Langelinie Pier departs every 20 minutes. The bus ride to Langelinie from the station is approximately 5 minutes. The total trip will cost about DKK 23 (about $4).

My other cruise option is out of Southampton, but I understand that that is quite a drive from London.

When you took the day tour of Copenhagen... so it was arranged by HAL that they picked you up from the airport early morning, gave you the day tour and then took you to the ship?

Yes, it was arranged by HAL. But we were with a big group, so it was all our group on the bus. If I had the choice, I would want to spend a pre-cruise stay in London rather than Copenhagen...but again, just my opinion. I've been to London many times and it's a really fun place to visit.

There is good public transportation in England, and a great train system. Have you considered a train to Southampton? I never did that...but it's a thought. OR if you did a prestay through the cruiseline I am sure they would arrange the transfer to the pier from the hotel.
