Dragoer Fishing Village
Departs: 2:00 pm, Monday, June 28th

Departs: 1:15 pm, Tuesday, June 29th
Approximately 3 Hours
Adult $89; Child $39
This scenic tour will take you to Dragoer, one of Denmark’s oldest and quaintest fishing villages. Your guide will take you on a leisurely stroll through the cobblestoned back streets of this historic village to the bustling harbor. The well-preserved state of the town is due to the fact that conservation work was started very early, in 1934. In 1968, it was decided to prohibit parking in the entire old district, and in 1978, Dragoer became Denmark’s first “pedestrian town.” After your guided tour, free time will be given to explore the village on your own, or perhaps to visit some of the small handicraft shops that line the main street. One of the highlights of the tour is the fantastic view of the Oresund Bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden as of July 1, 2000. Coffee or tea and a Danish pastry will be served at the harbor front hotel before you return to Copenhagen and the ship. Please note:

Watch for Amalienborg Palace (exterior view only), the winter residence of the Royal Family, which consists of four equal-sized rococo palaces situated on one of the most beautiful squares in Europe. You will pass through the colorful and lively Nyhavn waterfront district—once the favorite haunt for sailors. Today the canal district is lined with 500-year -old gabled houses, sidewalk cafés and bars. Author Hans Christian Andersen lived at three different addresses along the Nyhavn Canal. From Nyhavn, you’ll head to Tivoli Gardens—at the top of everyone’s list of places to visit in Copenhagen. Founded in 1843, Tivoli is a beautiful, romantic park with lanterns in the trees that create a magical atmosphere. It has open-air stages for music and theatre, and a wealth of high-class restaurants. This magical park which is more than 160 years old has inspired many people: Hans Christian Andersen took the idea for his fairy tale about the Nightingale from Tivoli, and Walt Disney drew inspiration for Disneyland from the garden during several visits in the 1950s. Tivoli, with its unique world famous location in the center of Copenhagen, has something for everyone. Before exploring the park, enjoy a drink at Cafe Ketchup located near the Tivoli Lake. The interior is beautiful and very Scandinavian. Stroll around Tivoli Gardens to see the beautiful flowers and the amusements. Neon lights are banned here, and the lighting style at Tivoli has lent its name to the Christmas lights on Park Avenue in New York also known as “Tivoli Lights.” On your way back to your cruise ship, you will see the Little Mermaid sculpture modeled on the fairytale creation of Hans Christian Andersen.
