This is the bridge between the Danish islands of
Zealand and Funen across the Great Belt.
We went under it during our cruise on the Carnival
Splendor’s 2nd voyage. Sail date July 25, 2008
You can hear the cheers from the people just
above our deck (Spa-11) as we go under.
It sure seemed close!
Here is a link to info on the bridge.

You are right. The Oresund does not have enough clearance for the Splendor.

That is what I first thought however,
my GPS showed Denmark land masses on the port and starboard sides of the ship and a quick check on the net shows the tower designs to be that of the Great Belt Bridge. The waypoint I pinned agrees with that finding.
The Oresund Bridge has a different design to the cable support towers as well as being a cable stayed design where as the Great Belt Bridge is of suspension design.
Check it out and let me know what you find.
Appreciate the comment!
