Can I bring a companion with a companion card?
At Odense Aafart, guests with disabilities can bring a companion and get a half-price companion ticket for the Odense River cruise when the companion has a valid companion card issued by Danske Handicaporganisationers Brugerservice.
The ticket can be purchased online under the type “Companion” or in our physical ticket office. The companion card must be presented with the ticket.
Please note that companion tickets are only valid for the River cruise on Odense River and not for events or special arrangements.
Can I bring a wheelchair on board the tour boat?
Manual wheelchairs can be brought on board the tour boats. The boats have two steps down to the deck and as there are no ramps on the older boats, some assistance may be needed to get down safely.
Our skipper will be happy to help you and your wheelchair get on board safely.
Walkers are also welcome and it is free to bring both wheelchair and walker on the tour.
We want to give guests with disabilities a good experience on Odense River.
Join us on a River cruise on Odense River
A River cruise on the Odense River is one of the most pleasant ways to experience the city. With Odense Aafart you can sit back and enjoy a calm boat ride through green surroundings in the middle of Odense, while the boat quietly glides through the river.
The tour starts in the city center and takes you past some of Odense’s most beautiful areas. Along the way you’ll pass Munke Mose and Eventyrhaven, where nature and the tranquil atmosphere along the river create a very special experience.
The boat trip is popular with both locals and visitors who want to experience Odense from a new angle. The leisurely pace makes it a relaxing break from city life, where you can enjoy nature and views from the water.
Whether you’re visiting Odense for the first time or already know the city, a River cruise on the Odense River is an atmospheric experience for families, friends and couples alike.
We also welcome guests with disabilities on board and are happy to assist if needed when boarding.
