Best for: Passengers choosing between public transport and a direct taxi
Check the live final connection from Orientkaj for your embarkation date.
Public transport, step by step
Find the Metro at the airport
Copenhagen Airport says the Metro station is by Terminal 3. Follow the station signs and buy a valid ticket before boarding.
Change in the city
Take M2 towards the city and change at Kongens Nytorv to the M4 towards Orientkaj. Check the platform and direction on the day.
Complete the last leg to Oceankaj
Visit Copenhagen describes bus 25 at cruise calls and bus 164 as a year-round option between Orientkaj and Oceankaj. Check the live journey planner for the stop, direction, and service that fits your ship's terminal.
Taxi or public transport?
Public transport can be economical when you are travelling light and have time for the changes. A taxi keeps the luggage with you and goes directly to your terminal. Journey time and fares vary with traffic, time of day, and the provider; use a current quote rather than an old guide price.

Find your Oceankaj terminal
The three terminal areas are spread along the quay. Use your cruise line’s terminal number, then select the matching pin or directions link. The pins are for orientation; your ship’s berth and boarding entrance may differ.
See all three terminal areas on Google Maps. Loading the map shares data with Google.
Pins show approximate terminal areas, not your ship’s live berth or boarding entrance. Follow your cruise line’s terminal instructions.
Before you travel
Confirm your embarkation terminal and check the transport service on the day. If you have a very tight connection from a flight, allow for baggage collection and airport exit time as well as the transfer itself.
