For all jazz lovers and people who enjoy cozy outdoor experiences! Enjoy a 75 min. live jazz experience onboard the canal boats in Copenhagen. Various artists perform throughout the summer, and they will entertain with jazz, swing, dixie, ragtime, gospel, and blues in an enchanting mix of rhythms from slave songs to bebop.
Live jazz in the canals
Every Thursday and Sunday all summer long, you can listen to one of the talented jazz bands play live on board the canal boats. The boat sails through the harbor and canals of Copenhagen, while you, from the comfort of your seat, can enjoy both the music and the city and be seduced by summer in Copenhagen.
From June 30 to July 9, there is a jazz festival in Copenhagen. Read more about the Copenhagen Jazz Festival on their website.
Afternoon cruises from Ved Stranden
All tours depart from Ved Stranden at 17.00 and sail for approximately 75 minutes. Initially, we'll be sailing in a covered boat, but if the weather permits, we'll switch to an open boat instead.
It is possible to purchase different beverages for the tour at the bar on the pier.
