Kronoborg Castle in Elsinore (Helsingor) in Denmark, immortalised by Shakespeare’s Hamlet, is targeting the cruise industry by promoting it as venue for events like receptions, ballet and theatre, Visit Nordjylland, the local tourist organisaion, said.
“Now you can invite your guests to a private dinner or Viennese Ball in the grand surroundings of the Ballroom of Kronborg Castle in Elsinore,” the organisation said in a statement.
Such events have been held in the grand Ballroom, and an exclusive event suited for a particular target group can also be arranged.
“In addition to the event in the castle, you may wish for your own private Shakespeare performance. The performance can take place in the courtyard, in the surrounding areas or in one of the other many intriguing rooms of the castle,” Visit Nordjylland said, adding that Kronborg is within walking distance from the Royal Quay in Elsinore, where cruise ships up to 150 metres in length can dock.
