Port of Call Elsinore cruise ship Harbour

Elsinore cruise ship Harbour, the Jewel in the Crown

A remarkable port of call for all

Passengers get an extraordinary experience!
There are few harbours in the world that can boast a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Elsinore Harbour neighborhood, which re-opens in 2012 after extensive renovation, is certainly one of them.
From the quays, visitors can enjoy the many harbour attractions and explore the historical city of Elsinore, with its mediaeval buildings, cathedral , cloisters and extensive pedestrian shopping and restaurant facilities. With services and facilities to handle even the largest groups, Elsinore Harbour provides cruise ships and their guests the best kick-off for a visit to Denmark.

Wake up to Elsinore Castle / Shakespeare’s Castle

Proudly guarding the entrance to the harbour is one of Northern Europe’s best renaissance castles.
Kronborg Castle, which is known to the English-speaking world as Elsinore Castle, is home to Shakespeare’s timeless Hamlet and serenely commands the entrance to the harbour. Set in impressive and extensive grounds, moats and ramparts that are easily accessible from landing stages, the visitor-friendly castle provides a fascinating insight into Denmark’s military, maritime and royal history.

Culture Yard and Maritime Museum

Modernised quays provide access to the striking architectural novelty of the Culture Yard – an eldorado of facilities tastefully built into the converted buildings of the former shipyard and bordered by the Danish Maritime Museum, itself exquisitely built into a dry dock. With its vast collections of artifacts and innovative exhibitions, the museum provides an impressive interactive insight into the maritime world for visitors of all ages.

A cruise ship paradise

A new cruise liner quay for vessels of max. 150m and a 6.5m draft.
Ample anchorage for larger vessels of any size in the roads only 0.25 nautical miles out, and with a water depth of 20m.
Reception facilities at an approved ISPS transit quay for launches entering the exciting harbour provide visitors with the extra attraction of a boat trip from the roads into the striking complex. Comprehensive, quick and comfortable services allow visitors to extend their visit to nearby Copenhagen, Helsingborg or other neighboring attractions, including the renowned Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, the home of Karen Blixen of Out of Africa fame, the Museum of National History at Frederiksborg Castle and Fredensborg Palace, Queen Margrethe’s Royal Summer Residence.
