Itinerary

  1. Nyhavn

    5 min

    Entering the historic harbor of Nyhavn, you’ll be treated to Copenhagen’s most iconic postcard view.

    From the water, the brightly colored 18th-century townhouses line the canal, reflecting vividly on the surface.

    Glide past the lively waterfront and historic wooden ships, taking in the cafés and vibrant atmosphere from the comfort of your boat.

  2. The Little Mermaid

    5 min

    As we cruise along Copenhagen’s waterfront, you’ll pass one of the city’s most famous landmarks, The Little Mermaid.

    Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s fairytale, the bronze statue has welcomed visitors to the harbor since 1913 and remains one of Copenhagen’s most photographed sights.

  3. Our Saviour's Church

    5 min

    Our Saviour’s Church is best known for its striking spiral tower, where the staircase wraps around the outside of the spire all the way to the top.

    Built in the late 1600s, the church is one of Copenhagen’s most recognizable landmarks and offers panoramic views across the city.

  4. Copenhagen Opera House

    5 min

    The Copenhagen Opera House is one of the world’s most modern opera buildings, located directly on the waterfront across from Amalienborg Palace.

    Opened in 2005, its striking contemporary design and massive cantilevered roof have made it a standout feature of Copenhagen’s harbor skyline.

  5. Christianshavn

    5 min

    Christianshavn is one of Copenhagen’s most charming neighborhoods, known for its canals, colorful townhouses, and maritime atmosphere.

    Inspired by Dutch-style city planning in the 1600s, the area blends historic architecture with lively cafés, houseboats, and waterfront life.

  6. Amalienborg

    5 min

    Amalienborg Palace is the official residence of the Danish royal family and one of Copenhagen’s most important historic landmarks.
