Your Comfort is Our Priority
We sail in both wind and rain, as our boats are covered. Our canal boats are heated, while Hygge offers heated seats and soft blankets.
In case of high tide, departures may be moved, and you’ll be informed about the new departure point at the ticket house. If heavy ice forms on the canals, the tour will be cancelled.
Proud Founding Partner of the CPH Light Festival
Stromma Denmark is proud to be one of the founding partners of the festival. By buying a ticket with us, or another founding partner, you ensure that the festival can take place in future years.
