One port, many destinations – the centre of Denmark! On the west coast of Zealand at the Great Belt, close by the entrance to the Baltic from the North Sea, you find’ll Kalundborg.
Founded in approximately 1150 by the war hero Esbern Snare, Kalundborg still has the original town plan in the old part town. Kalundborg offers a charming small-town experience with a number of local attractions and areas of natural beauty all within a short drive from the port. In essence Kalundborg offers a peak into the true Denmark; the hospitable, friendly and warm atmosphere will charm the cruise guests – after they have visited hectic and busy capitals – by providing a complete contrast that will bring the whole cruise into perspective. Here they will have the opportunity to enjoy beautiful gardens, local museums, working artists , handicraft- and flea market in the morning and shop in Kalundborgs n u m e r o u s specialist shops, with everything from hot design items to quality chocolate and finish off the afternoon with a nice cup of coffee and a danish in the local cafés. There are also plenty to do for those seeking outdoor activities for instance an 18-hole golf course, bike riding, sailing, kayaking or horse back riding. Special events can be arranged – all from renaissance meals, sing-a-long afternoons, folk dancing – and much more!
Coming from the Baltic going to the North Sea or vice versa, a port of call in Kalundborg enables the cruise lines to offer the guests Copenhagen and at the same time save 230 nautical miles and 12 hours of steaming time. Situated in the centre of Denmark – approximately 1 ½ hours drive from Copenhagen, with all that Copenhagen has to offer, and Odense, with the Funen Village, H.C. Andersen’s house and all the beautiful castles of Funen – Kalundborg offers a wide palette of opportunities for the cruise guests. The Vikingship museum and the Royal Cathedral of Roskilde is just one hours drive from Kalundborg.
