FAQ Boat
Sailing information
Are the boats covered when it rains?
We can never guarantee covered boats, but strive to adjust the boat type used to the weather situation where possible. As we cannot guarantee a covered boat when it rains we offer all our guests on the open boats a free poncho if it should rain.
Where do I find information about delayed or cancelled departures?
Information about delays or cancellations will when possible be posted on our website. You can also visit our ticket offices or call our Customer Service on tel. +45 3296 3000.
Do you do tours to Middelgrundsfortet?
No we have no tours to Middelgrundsfortet or Flakfortet. We are only allowed to operate within the boundaries of Copenhagen harbour.
Do the live guided tours make any stops along the route?
No the tour is non-stop. It starts and ends at the same place.
On board
Can we bring our own drinks?
Yes, you are more than welcome to bring your own drinks (but please remember to take any bottles or cans with you when you leave).
Can we take our dog with us on the tour?
Yes, dogs are allowed on our boats as long as they are fit in a bag and can be controlled.
Can we bring a buggy/stroller or pram?
There is not a lot of room on the boats, therefore it is not possible to bring buggies/strollers or prams on board. You are welcome to leave the buggy/stroller or pram at our departure points at Ved Stranden and Nyhavn, however this is at your own risk and we highly recommend that you bring a lock.
Can we bring a wheelchair on board?
Due to the interior layout of our boats we regretfully cannot permit access to Stromma’s boats for wheelchair users. They will be turned away, regardless of whether they inquire in person, via mail or by phone. The only exception to this rule is for those wheelchair users whose wheelchairs can be folded and who – with or without the aid of a companion – can make their way onto the boats and sit in the regular seats. All others will be rejected. Foldable wheelchairs may only be brought on board the vehicles if the captain permits it based on an assessment of the space available.
How many passengers can fit in one boat?
Our open boats can carry up to 168 passengers while the covered boats can carry up to 150 passengers (of which 104 are under the roof).
Are there toilets on board?
No, we have no toilet facilities on board the regular tour boats. There are public toilets near our ticket offices at Nyhavn and Ved Stranden.
