Description

Cruise the canals that wind through the heart of Copenhagen in the evening, when the capital is aglow and its landmarks dramatically illuminated. The twinkling city lights reflecting on the water’s surface will only enhance the beautiful setting. As you cruise past many of city’s most well-known attractions, you will see them from a unique water perspective and hear enlightening commentary that will deepen your understanding of these icons. You will learn about the life of Hans Christian Andersen while passing his former residence in the 17th-century Nyhavn district and while admiring the famed Little Mermaid statue that was inspired by Andersen’s famous fairytale. Other historical sights include the former royal residence Christiansborg Palace – now home to the Danish Parliament and Supreme Court of Denmark – and the Church of Holmen, the oldest Renaissance building in Copenhagen. Few modern buildings rival the Royal Danish Opera House, whose lighted interior will be absolutely radiant in the evening.
