Copenhagen: Sip & Sail Canal Cruise

About This Experience

Sip & Sail is Stromma's drinks cruise: about 1 hour 30 minutes through the canals and harbour with beer, cider, wine, soft drinks and non-alcoholic options included. It departs Ved Stranden 26. It is not guided, so think of it as a relaxed drink on the water, not a sightseeing tour. It cost $57 per person on the dates we checked in October 2026.

The boat is covered, and on warm days the windows open into the transparent roof. With no commentary, the time goes on conversation and the passing city. The cruise works as a break between sightseeing and shopping, or as the start of an evening; on the date we checked the next sailing left at 18:00 on 10 October.

It suits friends, couples and small groups of colleagues who want the drinks taken care of. The covered boat keeps it comfortable in a cool breeze. You cannot bring your own alcohol, and the listing rules out strollers, bikes, scooters, electric wheelchairs, oversize luggage and pets other than assistance dogs.

The biggest limitation is the cancellation policy. GetYourGuide shows free cancellation up to 24 hours before, but the operator's own note on the listing says the tour is not refundable, so check the terms at checkout. At high water the boat may stay in the harbour and skip the narrow canals.
