Denmark · CANAL & HARBOUR CRUISES
The first hour of most Copenhagen trips is spent on the water, and the boats differ more than the brochures admit. These 7 compare the guided classics, the electric boats and the harbour loops on price, shelter and how close they get to the good bridges.
See Copenhagen from its canals in one hour, passing the Little Mermaid, royal palaces, Parliament, and grand waterfront architecture.
“Really enjoyed, was great to do first thing after we landed so we could gather our bearings round the city”
See Copenhagen from the water on a lively one-hour canal cruise past royal palaces, Christianshavn, the Little Mermaid, and more.
“Great excursion lets you see all of the city and the best places to see landmarks ect. Drivers are very friendly and knowledgeable”
Glide through Copenhagen’s canals on a quiet electric boat, with local stories, heated seats, and a small-group feel from Ved Stranden.
“Smaller boat was wonderful to allow for questions and chatting amongst the guide and passengers. Nina was VERY information and personable. Definitely worth the extra cost for a more personal touch!”
Walk Copenhagen’s top sights, ride the electric harbor ferry, visit The Little Mermaid, and finish with the Changing of the Guards at Amalienborg.
“Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. This tour was on our first day in Copenhagen and gave us a good orientation. We saw the changing of the guards up fairly close. Fun walking tour.”
See Copenhagen from old canals, Trekroner Fortress, Nordhavn, and future Lynetteholmen on a friendly three-hour social boat tour.
“The activity was great but we personally would have been happier with at least a half roof as it was too sunny for us. Fred the Captain was very knowledgeable & informative & kept the group lively. It was well worth the views of this city from the water! Keep it up always.”
See Copenhagen from the water on a 105-minute live-guided canal tour covering palaces, harbour districts, Nordhavn, Sydhavnen, and more.
“It was great and the guide had a really good and understandable accent. However the roof isn't helping in watching views on the other side of the ship...”
Cruise Copenhagen’s canals in a heated silent electric boat for up to nine people, with Nyhavn, Amalienborg, and harbor views.
“it was a pleasant boat ride, we were 8 passangers plus Andrew the guide who offered us a lot of information about all the places we passed.”
