On December 13, 2026, you can experience the beautiful floating Lucia Parade in Copenhagen from the water. This popular event attracts thousands of visitors, so why not skip the crowds on land and enjoy a better view from one of our special canal cruises?
Admire the Lucia Parade from the Water
Experience Copenhagen’s popular floating Lucia Parade from the water on a special canal cruise and enjoy a front row view of one of the city’s most spectacular events.
Watch Stromma’s canal boat with the talented choir on board, along with more than 500 kayaks decorated with twinkling lights, pass by. Afterwards, we’ll cruise through the canals so you can see Copenhagen illuminated by the city lights.
What’s Included in the Tour?
Choose between two different Copenhagen Lucia Canal Cruises.
Single Tickets
Enjoy a 2-hour boat tour in a covered and heated canal boat. We begin by watching the floating Lucia Parade sail past while the choir sings the Danish version of the Lucia song. Once the parade continues on its route, we cruise through the canals so you can experience Copenhagen after dark from the water.
The tour is not guided, allowing you to simply sit back and enjoy the atmosphere.
On board, you can purchase a selection of drinks and snacks, including Glögg, wine, beer, soft drinks, and coffee.
Private Table for Up to 8 Persons
Gather your family or friends and enjoy this special Lucia Cruise from your own private table on board our covered and heated restaurant boat. Your ticket includes a reserved table for up to 8 persons, with Glögg, wine, beer, soft drinks, and coffee included throughout the tour.
We begin by watching the floating Lucia Parade sail by, and later cruise through the canals and harbor to see Copenhagen illuminated after dark. Before the tour concludes, we’ll position ourselves along the route once more to see the parade again from a different spot.
The duration is approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes. The tour is not guided, giving you time to chat with your group and enjoy the evening together on the water.
Departure Points & Practical Information
The tours depart from Nyhavn 3 and Ved Stranden 26, both centrally located and easily accessible by foot and public transportation. If you arrive by car, please allow extra time to find parking. We recommend using one of the parking garages, as street parking is limited and often difficult to find.
