From U.K. to Copenhagen by coach?

I would like to go to Copenhagen by bus, coach, train or ferry, as flying scares the ever living crap out of me so much, that i would gladly spend more on land travel than fly again.

So, does anyone know of a major network of European buses or coaches, or cheap trains etc, that i could get to Denmark with? I think land travel would be much better too as i would see the sights more and enjoy the trip, rather than grab my seat for 2 hours and wonder when the plane is going to crash.

I would also go by ferry, i do not think megabus go to Europe any more but i am not positive, any advice or tips would be appreciated.

    I flew before, never again, ever, no. Plus it made me deaf for almost 2 days and gave me serious ear pains, i will not fly again, i tremble at the thought of it my hands go wobbly.


    Land or sea only.

    That'll be because they don't have a boat (allegedly) ... have a dig around on Google about Regina Line and then discount it ;)

    You would only have ear pains if you had an ear condition before you boarded. Go on a course- they include a flight. Well worth the money as it will disadvantage you for life.

    Huh?? They are saying see you on board, giving ticket and seat prices, etc etc, but i will google that. That is weird.

    I do not have ear conditions, i asked the flight attendant and he said it is cabin pressure and lots of people get it, some worse than others, i am one of them. I don't want to fly i kept thinking the plane was going to crash for the whole journey, it was not a pleasant trip i don't want to travel like that, i want to travel where i can relax not be anxious.

    That is simply not true. You would not have known if you had a mild ear condition before boarding. Get medical advice and look into it rather than take the advice of cabin crew.
