Denmark cruise ports

Denmark includes a mainland peninsula and many islands, giving its ports varied positions between the North Sea and Baltic. A call can put a city visit, a smaller town or an island outing within consideration, depending on the actual berth. Use the individual guide to identify that starting point and the transport needed to reach your chosen area. Do not assume that different calls in the same country have similar transfer arrangements. The list below lets you compare arrival types and read the local context before building a day around your sailing.
