Rich in culture and history, the Nordic wonder also boasts several UNESCO World heritage sites, paired with a world-class food scene, there is alot to see and do in this wonderful country. Take time to explore the charming medieval-like towns, breathe in the clean air and explore everything that Denmark has to offer.

No visit to Denmark is complete without a stop at its capital, Copenhagen. Offering everything you could ask for from world-class shopping, outstanding cuisine and a wonderful cultural ambience, guests on a luxury superyacht charter can take in the beautiful 17th-century waterfront harbor of Nyhavn and explore the divine city from its pedestrianized center to the tranquill Tivoli Gardens.

Voted one of the happiest places to live, Denmark is home to an abundance of serene coastal hideaways and historic buildings where their beauty isn't diminished by age. Visit the Kronborg Slot, best known as the Elsinore Castle of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. A renaissance masterpiece topped by baroque green-copper spires. Another architectural sensation is the Frederiksborg Slot, a gigantic Dutch Renaissance palace that rises proudly out of the photogenic moat-lake Slotsø.
