Our popular Jazz Cruise in Copenhagen is back! Join us on a musical boat tour and enjoy a unique jazz experience. Seven different jazz bands are ready to fill the canals of Copenhagen with music, adding extra spice to your afternoon. From swing to Dixie, from ragtime to blues – you're sure to find your favorite jazz genre on our Jazz Cruise. Read more about the tours and the diverse jazz bands below.
Live Jazz in the Canals
Enjoy live jazz every Thursday and Sunday throughout the summer aboard our canal tour. We set sail from Ved Stranden at 17:00, with the Jazz Cruise lasting approximately 75 minutes.
During the Copenhagen Jazz Festival, we offer daily departures. Read more about the Copenhagen Jazz Festival on their website.
Normally, we sail in closed boats; however, on sunny days, we switch to open boats and release extra tickets on the same day.
You're welcome to bring your own beverages aboard or select from a variety of options at Brobaren, conveniently situated on the pier where our boats depart.
