Duration: approx. 3 hours

We will leave the pier for a short sightseeing tour through the city’s key sights; we will admire Christiansborg Palace and the old Stock Exchange which was built by King Christian IV and which boasts a spectacular spire of intertwining dragon tails, before continuing to the vibrant waterfront district of Nyhavn, once a favourite haunt for sailors and today a charming area lined with 400-year-old gabled houses, pavement café and bars. Next, we will continue to Amalienborg Palace for a short walking and to learn more about this important monument. In Gammel Strand we will board a boat for a trip on the city’s attractive canals, taking pictures from the water. We will sail through the picturesque canal district of Christianshavn and see the ultra-modern Black Diamond building which houses the Royal Library before passing through the old naval area to admire the Opera House.

In the days of ancient Greece, Corfu marked the final stage of the legendary trip made by the mythological Greek god, Odysseus, on his journey home to Ithaca. While hardly of epic proportions, this tour will certainly give you a chance to enjoy Corfu’s lush landscape as you travel around the island. The excursion includes a visit to Achilleion’s Palace, a beautiful white mansion and the former residence of Queen Elizabeth of Austria – who was affectionately known as Sisi. The richly decorated palace is set in pretty gardens overlooking the sea and is dedicated to another hero from Greek mythology, Achilles. Before you return to the port and your ship, you will also have a chance to pay Corfu town a brief visit and spend a little free time strolling around.
