About Odense Aafart - Sailing trip with live music
What is "Sailing with live music"?
Sailing with live music is a private event where you combine sailing on the Odense River with live music on board. A musician or a small band creates the atmosphere during the cruise while you enjoy the surroundings.

Odense Aafart has sailed on the Odense River for over 130 years and has for generations communicated the city’s history and nature to both locals and visitors.

No, it’s not. This is a private group booking where the boat is rented for your event and the live music is part of the experience.

Can you get off on the way?
As a rule, the event takes place as one continuous voyage. Any special requests are agreed in advance.

Walkers can be brought along.
