Sommarfest Cruise

Summer in Copenhagen is something else. The city opens up, the canals fill with boats and everyone finds a reason to be outside. A Sommarfest cruise gives your group the perfect setting to celebrate the season on the water, with the city at its best all around you. Whether it is an end of year celebration, a midsummer gathering or just a great excuse to get everyone together, the boat is yours.

Your group, the sun and open water

There is no better time to be on Copenhagen's canals than in summer. Long evenings, warm light and the kind of relaxed energy that makes a group of people genuinely enjoy being together. You sail out of Nyhavn past the harbour baths where locals swim, through Christianshavn and out into the open water where the city stretches out around you in every direction.

The summer party that actually works

Most summer parties end up in the same garden or on the same rooftop. A Sommarfest cruise is different because the setting keeps changing. Every few minutes there is something new to look at, which means the conversation never stops and nobody is checking their phone. By the time you sail back into Nyhavn, it will have felt like a proper summer evening.

Our Route

You leave from Nyhavn as the city is at its most alive and sail out through the canals where Copenhagen spills onto the water in summer. Past the harbour baths, through Christianshavn and out into the open harbour where the light stretches long over the Oresund. There is no better time of year to be on the water here and the route makes sure you see the best of it.
