Don't miss
We love the open air museum, the Frilandsmuseet, just north of the city, housing more than 50 farms, mills and houses from the mid 17th to the mid 20th centuries.

Voyage Itinerary
6 August
Setting sail from Copenhagen
With a history that dates back to 1043, this small city is full of historic landmarks, significant buildings and interesting sights and museums. It is of course also a history that sits alongside the height of modern Danish design. It is great to explore on foot, by bicycle or by water. Be sure to visit Amalienborg Palace and to walk down the famed shopping street (Strøget). The pretty harbour of Nyhavn is a great location to stop for coffee or lunch and watch the world go by. And of course highlights include the Tivoli Gardens, and the (surprisingly) tiny statue of The Little Mermaid.
7 August
Denmark: Skagen
Situated at the very northern tip of Jutland, Skagen is famed for its wonderful light and beautiful coastal scenery, which attracted many artists during the 19th century. Today it’s a popular destination for well-to-do Danes, drawn here by the beaches, charming architecture and spectacular sunsets.
8 August to 9 August
Norway: Bergen
Beautiful Bergen, Norway’s former capital, is a perfect city to explore on foot. Bryggen – the old Hanseatic wharf, and a UNESCO World Heritage site – still has the old harbour timber buildings, whilst other attractions include the funicular up Mount Floyen and the busy fish market.
10 August - At sea
11 August
United Kingdom: Aberdeen
The ‘granite city’ of Aberdeen is flush with money from the North Sea oil boom, and boasts cultural attractions including the fascinating Maritime Museum and the Aberdeen Art Gallery. Head out into the countryside and you’ll find magnificent castles, wild mountain scenery and whisky distilleries aplenty.
12 August to 13 August
United Kingdom: Edinburgh
Cosmopolitan Edinburgh, Scotland’s lovely capital, is located in spectacular countryside, always visible from the city centre. Striking architecture, lots to see and do, and great food mean that your time here will be very busy. And if your visit coincides with the Festival, you have a treat in store.
14 August - At sea
15 August to 16 August
Arriving in London Tower Bridge
Only the smaller ships can make it up the river to the Pool of London, tying up next to HMS Belfast, with glorious views to the north of the Tower of London, and to the south of the modern City Hall. As you sail from here, the bridge opens, stopping the traffic for your departure.
Our tip
Stroll along the South Bank to Shakespeare’s Globe – pre-book to see a performance if you can, either at the Globe, or in the entrancingly tiny Sam Wanamaker theatre – a gem.
The ship
Orient Express Olympian
- Capacity:
- 110 Guests
- Style:
- Elegant and refined, inspired by the golden age of travel and offering a unique sailing experience.
The first yacht from Orient Express Sailing Yachts set sail in 2026 boasting a striking 3-masted design and elegant interiors. Sister ship Orient Express Olympian joins the fleet in 2027.
What we love
When we followed Orient Express Corinthian's design progress, we were intrigued by the striking profile of the vessel, quite unlike anything we have seen before. Indeed, this is the first yacht to be fitted with the SolidSail propulsion system, technology designed to reduce emissions and developed by Chantiers de l'Atlantique, the shipbuilding company which built the vessel. Aside from the exterior, a cruise on Orient Express Corinthian promises a blend of elegance, heritage, and glamour, with Art Deco design features, an array of dining options, and stylish suites. Read our guide to everything we know about this innovative yacht. Sister-ship Orient Express Olympian joins the fleet in 2027.

Tailor-make your trip
Ways to make it better
Two nights in Copenhagen
Excellent super modern hotels abound, but our favourite for comfort and value is 71 Nyhavn, overlooking the harbour front.
Around Copenhagen
Travel out of the city to North Zealand to see the renaissance Frederiksborg Castle, and Hamlet’s Kronborg Castle at Elsinore.
Where to stay in London
The Guoman Tower Hotel, right by the bridge to the North of the river, has fantastic views to put you in the mood.
A tour of Tower Bridge
A private tour to Tower Bridge's Towers, high-level Walkways and new glass floor, then down to the Engine Rooms, is rather special.
