Copenhagen is a city that can be explored by foot, on wheels, by rail—and, most picturesquely, by boat. At our grand Admiral Hotel, splendid accommodation, great dining, and a historical setting is paired with a truly unique boat service. Meet the boats of the hotel: Lilla Dan, Halmø, and the Venice boat.
#LillaDan and #Halmø are the hotel’s two schooners, most often found docked on the Admiralkaj quay behind the hotel. Lilla Dan is the larger of the two ships, and despite its name—“lilla” meaning “purple” in Danish—the ship actually shines in a characteristic red Lauritzen color. This two-masted schooner was built in 1951, where for a long time it was used as a school and teaching ship in Kogtved.
Smaller in size but equally as big in personality, Halmø is the older of the two ships. Built in 1900, Halmø is still to this day one of the most well-maintained schooners Denmark can boast. Both Lilla Dan and Halmø are operated by De Forenede Sejlskibe I/S, sailing happy guests around Øresund between May and October.
Last, but certainly not least, is the electrical Venice boat. This little gem is one of the highlights of the summer season at Admiral Hotel. Nimble and agile, it can for example be booked for a canal cruise with a private captain along with drinks and snacks, dropping you wherever you like (here, the quay of the sleek #Copenhagen Opera House is a favorite).
