Nordre Toldbod Cruise Terminal
Copenhagen, Denmark, 1259
As the smallest of Copenhagen’s three cruise port terminals, Nordre Toldbod Cruise Terminal is located in the heart of the city, making it the ideal starting point for exploring Denmark’s capital. Typically reserved for smaller cruise ships and megayachts, the port receives visitors from destinations such as the Baltics, St. Petersburg, and the United Kingdom.
The Basics
Many of Copenhagen’s top attractions are within walking distance of Nordre Toldbod. Shore excursion options include a walking tour of the city, a bike or Segway excursion, and a cruise on Copenhagen’s canals.

Downtown Copenhagen is home to highlights such as Tivoli Gardens, the Stroget shopping district, and Christiansborg Palace, all of which are covered by hop-on hop-off bus services.
