Shared Cruise

We depart from Cort Adelers Gade and sail through the inner canals of Copenhagen, past Christianshavn and out into the open harbour. Along the way you pass the Opera House, Holmen and on clear days catch a view across the Oresund towards Sweden. The full route takes roughly 90 minutes and gives your group a proper sense of the city from the water.

Our Route

Whether you are celebrating an anniversary, a birthday or a special occasion, a private cruise through Copenhagen's canals makes for a genuinely memorable setting. The city looks different from the water and that difference is exactly what makes it worth doing.

Special Events

A private cruise gives your group the freedom to enjoy Copenhagen's canals on your own terms. No strangers on board, no shared schedule. Just your people, your pace and one of the most beautiful stretches of water in Northern Europe.

Our Socials

The best moments on the water rarely fit into a single afternoon, so we keep sharing them long after the boat docks. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for the sunsets, the celebrations, and the small details that make every trip through the canals a little different from the last.
