Port discounts
‘There are many advantages of cruising in the shoulder season,’ explained Claus Bødker, director, CruiseCopenhagen. ‘Besides port discounts and more space at both the port and at the attractions, it’s more sustainable to spread out tourism throughout the year.
‘Based on our experience, we know that most guests have an overall better time in Copenhagen, when the attractions aren’t too crowded.’
Autumn/winter activities
In October and November, passengers can attend Copenhagen’s annual one-day event, Culture Night, which involves more than 250 museums, theatres, libraries etc. opening their doors throughout the evening offering events and tours. In December, Christmas events take place throughout the city where passengers can witness floating Santa Lucia: kayaks decorated for Christmas sailing through the canals.
Noted Bødker, ‘Fall and winter are the absolute prime seasons for the Danish concept of “hygge.” There is no better time of the year to experience the cosy atmosphere of Copenhagen.’
Tivoli Gardens are filled with decorations for both Halloween and Christmas.
Festivals winterjazz and Copenhagen Light Festival are held in February in Copenhagen.
