Overview

This is a flexible and personalized experience. You can follow your captain’s suggested route or request custom stops — including a refreshing swim in the harbor if the weather allows.

Learn about Danish history, royal landmarks, naval stories, and how modern Copenhagen has grown from its shipbuilding roots into one of the world’s most livable cities. Along the way, your guide will happily take photos of you with the city’s most beautiful waterfront backdrops.
