Touring in Copenhagen

Copenhagen is one of the most popular ports on any Baltic or Scandinavian cruise itinerary — and one of the few where many cruises begin or end. The city is compact, walkable and packed with history, from the 17th-century waterfront of Nyhavn and the copper spires of Baroque churches to the world-famous Tivoli Gardens, the Little Mermaid statue and the royal palaces at Amalienborg. Beyond the city center, day trips to Kronborg Castle in Helsingør (the setting for Shakespeare's Hamlet), the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art are all within easy reach. Whether you're arriving by cruise ship or staying at a hotel, your private driver-guide will design a day around what interests you.

Frequently Asked Questions — Copenhagen Shore Excursions

Where do cruise ships dock in Copenhagen?

Copenhagen has three cruise terminals — Langelinie Pier, Oceankaj and Nordre Toldbod. Langelinie is the most central, within walking distance of the Little Mermaid and the city center. Oceankaj is about 15 minutes from downtown by car. Your private driver-guide picks you up directly at your terminal regardless of which one your ship uses.

Is Copenhagen a turnaround port?

Yes. Copenhagen is one of the primary embarkation ports for Baltic cruises, meaning many cruises start or finish here. We offer private transfers between Copenhagen Airport (CPH), city hotels and all three cruise terminals — as well as full-day city tours for pre- and post-cruise guests.

What can I see in Copenhagen on a shore excursion?

A typical Copenhagen shore excursion covers Nyhavn, Tivoli Gardens, the Little Mermaid, Amalienborg Palace, Rosenborg Castle and the Stroget shopping district. With a full day, your tour can include a canal cruise, Kronborg Castle (Hamlet's castle) in Helsingør, the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde or the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.

What is the back-to-ship guarantee?

Our back-to-ship guarantee means that if an unforeseen delay during your private tour prevents you from returning to the cruise terminal before your ship departs, we will arrange and cover the cost of transportation to your next port of call. This guarantee applies to all private shore excursions from Copenhagen which meet the time requirements.

Can I book a tour from my hotel instead of the cruise port?

Yes. Private tours and transfers can begin from any hotel in Copenhagen or the surrounding area. Your driver-guide will meet you at the address you provide at the agreed time. This is especially useful for pre- and post-cruise guests staying in the city before or after embarkation.

Do you offer airport transfers in Copenhagen?

Yes. We offer private transfers between Copenhagen Airport (CPH) and all three cruise terminals, as well as between the airport and city hotels. Touring can be added to your transfer — see highlights of Copenhagen on your way to or from the ship or airport.
