For the last 6 years Korsør hosted tourists from 9 cruise ships. The town is situated around a harbour which for centuries has been an important part of its inhabitants' daily life. To move from the southern part of the town to the northern, or vice versa, citizens have to pass over a bridge which at certain times of the day will be raised in order to let ships in or out of the fiord. Boats, vessels, merchant ships and the occasional cruise liner are regular visitors.
Sailing is a natural thing for the locals and many of them were probably only a few years old when their parents introduced them to life on board a pleasure boat. In the harbour there are berths for 450 boats along six landing stages, which means that a safe anchorage is always available. In summer the marina is buzzing with life, boats arriving and leaving from or to destinations in Denmark, Sweden and Germany.
