Cruises to Denmark

A Denmark cruise takes you to Copenhagen, the cool, cosmopolitan capital, and the seaside town of Skagen, perched on the northern tip of the Jutland peninsula. You could also visit Denmark’s second city, Aarhus, known for its superb museums and exciting culinary scene.

Denmark may be compact, but it’s rich in art, culture, elegant architecture, cutting-edge design, and the Scandinavian sense of hygge, a feeling of contentment and wellbeing. Explore this fascinating country on a European cruise with Celebrity Cruises.

Denmark Cruise Highlights

Cool Cuisine

Denmark is known for its edgy, eclectic culinary scene. Visit Copenhagen’s Market Hall to try fish cakes and smørrebrød, open-face rye topped with pickled herring or roast beef, downed with a glass of snaps, or aquavit. Sample hot dogs and meatballs at the Aarhus Street Food Market and explore the many cafés in search of the best cinnamon pastries. Denmark has a great craft beer industry, too, with microbreweries all over the country.

Castles & Palaces

Denmark is studded with magnificent palaces and castles. In Copenhagen, admire Amalienborg Palace, home of the royal family, and Christiansborg Palace, the seat of Parliament. Kronborg Castle features as Elsinore in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, while the grand Frederiksborg Castle houses the Museum of National History. From Skagen, visit Voergaard Castle and see its valuable art collection. Or explore the Manor of Gammel Estrup in Aarhus, a beautifully preserved Renaissance castle.

Art & Design

The fishing town of Skagen, where vast skies meet blue seas and endless white sands, has been famous for its artistic community since the late 19th century. Visit the Skagens Museum to admire Impressionist-inspired works. Aarhus’ avant-garde ARoS art museum, meanwhile, has a wonderful collection of contemporary pieces. In Copenhagen, feast your eyes on stylish Danish design, from chic-but-casual clothing to covetable retro furniture, home items, and contemporary, Viking-inspired jewelry.

Skagen, Denmark

Skagen lies on the northern tip of Denmark’s Jutland peninsula, its sandy beaches and grassy dunes stretching away under vast skies.
