Cruises from Copenhagen

Take a cruise from Copenhagen to find fairytale magic mixed with modern ingenuity. This European capital enchants with patinaed spires, Renaissance castles, and nods to children’s author Hans Christian Anderson, who called the city home for many years. But while Copenhagen has a lot of historic charm, it’s well-ahead when it comes to the environment. More than half of its well-dressed residents zip to work on bikes in sectioned-off bike paths. The city also started mandatory green roofs—sod-covered rooftops that reduce urban temperatures and stormwater system strain. One of the top things to do in Copenhagen is eat—chefs around the world draw inspiration from Noma, regarded as a top restaurant in the world. It is also the hardest to get into—attempt to make a reservation months ahead of your cruise to Denmark.

Things to Do in Copenhagen

​

Copenhagen Aquarium

Few aquariums match the beauty of the The National Aquarium Denmark, the Blue Planet in Kastrup, features stunning architecture inspired by whirlpools and fish scales. It includes zones like a coral reef, Amazon area, and cold/warm water tanks with creatures from seahorses to hammerhead sharks. Located near the airport, it’s a convenient stop before or after a Copenhagen cruise.

Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek

Just minutes from Copenhagen’s cruise port, the NY Carlsberg Glyptotek is a must-see.
