elcome to Copenhagen, and welcome to the special Copen-

hagen Feel! It’s no wonder why all major cruise lines visit Copenhagen, and half our calls are turnarounds: Copenhagen is a traveller’s dream come true. Unique sights, friendly Copenhageners and exciting attractions, a picturesque waterfront and pretty canals, grand history and modern, cutting edge adventures, all rolled into one city, and all within easy walking distance. In fact, the city is almost on deck as your ship docks in Copenhagen! Walking off the ship you’re literally minutes away from the pulsating heart of this metropolis of adventures, and your next-door neighbour is Her Majesty the Queen Margrethe II. Her home, Amalienborg, is just minutes along the waterfront.

Copenhagen is a safe and welcoming city. Everyone is happy to speak English and the Copenhageners are renowned for their friendliness. So much so that the term The Copenhagen feel is used by visitors - a fact Copenhagen is very proud of. Guides, staff, people you meet on the street - everyone will help you to have the experience of a lifetime. Copenhagen is a vibrant, modern city with a relaxed atmosphere and exciting diversity: Grand castles, wooden ships, world-class gastronomy, exciting museums, leafy parks, idyllic canals, and snug town squares. The pedestrianised main shopping street, Strøget, offers a variety of shops ranging from handmade pipes to contemporary art, design and high end fashion. Turn off the main street, and stroll through cosy, cobbled streets lined with old quaint houses. Turn the corner again, and there’s some daring modern architecture. It’s up to you to mix, match, pick and choose. There’s so much to see and do, that most

visitors keep coming back for more memorable moments. Copenhagen is the perfect place to start or end your cruise: Everything is in order, and everything is nearby. The vibe of Copenhagen is simply unique. The easiest way to prove this to you, is if you simply come and visit us. But beware: like thousands of other visitors, you may become addicted! We believe not only in being great hosts, but also in creating long-lasting friendships. So come join us in Copenhagen – we’re already looking forward to meeting you!

The World’s Oldest Monarchy:

A Modern, Yet ThousandYear-Old Fairy Tale

Amazingly, the reigning Queen Margrethe II is a direct descendant of the legendary Viking, King Gorm the Old (900 AD). Other family members include Queen Victoria, and Tsar Alexander III from the Russian House of Romanov. Many more great stories and amazing sights are waiting for you at The Royal Castles of Copenhagen.

Amalienborg

In 2012, Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II celebrates her 40th anniversary on the throne. The Queen is lovingly called “Daisy” by family and friends, and the open-mindedness of the Danes is characterised in their Queen too! As a guest in her Kingdom you are invited to experience the bustling, everyday life as it is for royalty, and to soak up the full splendour befitting a Queen. Former kings’ offices are open at Amalienborg Palace, as well as banquet halls still in use

at Christiansborg Palace. The Danish monarchy has impressive family ties to all other royal families. To name but a few, Queen Margrethe II is named after her grandmother, the British Princess Margaret, granddaughter of Queen Victoria, and the Danish Princess Dagmar (1847-1928) famously became Tsarin of All Russias, when she married Tsar Alexander III. Royal relatives from all over Europe used to gather at Fredensborg Castle

(North Zealand) each summer. Oddly enough, back then it was tradition that everyone – including the tsar – had porridge for breakfast! The quaint stories, the grandeur, the sparkling and extravagant jewellery, the magnificent castles, and the personal artefacts of kings, queens, princes and princesses are just waiting for you, enchanting you to step into a modern fairy tale more than a millennium in the making! All royal castles offer guided

tours with competent guides. Find more detailed information on each castle in this brochure on the “Royal Copenhagen” page .

ne Little Mermaid: Two Women!

This embodiment of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale has been sitting bashfully by the waterfront at Langelinie since 1913. Few people know that sculptor Edvard Eriksen asked prima ballerina Ellen Price to model, but the dancer refused to pose in the nude! It is for this reason that the mermaid we know and love today is sculpted with Ellen Price’s head, but the body represents that of Eriksen’s wife, Eline! 6

four Sons Turned To Oxen Right by the waterfront, you’ll find the impressive Gefion fountain, in which the Goddess Gefion cracks her whip over four oxen above twirling water. The story goes that the Gods promised her all the land she could plough overnight. At this, she promptly turned her 4 sons into oxen, and ploughed out Zealand from Sweden.

Scenic Canal, Wooden Ships, Amazing Eateries: It’s Nyhavn! Nyhavn is a wonderfully idyllic part of Copenhagen.
