“2019 is, yet again, going to be a good cruise season for Copenhagen. We are expecting 352 ships; 165 will be turnarounds,” said Henrik Ahlqvist, head of cruise and ferries for the port.

As far as passengers go, the number is evaluated to be a little more than 750,000, he said.

Those numbers, in any case, are down from 2018, when the port had more than 850,000 travelers.

2020 is going the correct way, with a three percent increase in visitors expected, Ahlqvist said.

“For the first time the MSC Meraviglia will be berthing in Copenhagen, which will be the largest ship ever, with its 4,500 passengers and 1,536 crew,” Ahlqvist stated, taking note of that the ship will call multiple times this mid year.

“There are many good reasons to come to Copenhagen, as not only is it the capital of Denmark with all its pulse and metropolitan vibe, put it is also a very green and livable city, with lots of public parks and canals through the city, where the water is clean enough to swim in,” he proceeded.

Berth reservations are basic, with the books opening two years ahead of time on a first come, first serve premise.

Another terminal is set to open for the 2022 season with 10,000 square meters of terminal space over two stories with twin gangways..
