Staying in Roskilde Denmark

My wife and I will be in Denmark next April and would like to stay in Roskilde.. we would like to stay outside of Copenhagen because of the cost factor for hotels and like staying in smaller villages or towns. The questions I have is how do we get from the airport (in Copenhagen)to Roskilde and from Roskilde to the cruise port in Copenhagen? As we are taking a cruise, we will be there for three days pre cruise.
Also, is it feasible to take the train from Roskilde to Sweden as a day trip? Also is it possible to do a day trip back into Copenhagen to see the sites?
Any information or suggestions would be most helpful as we have never been to Denmark.

The questions I have is how do we get from the airport (in Copenhagen)to Roskilde and from Roskilde to the cruise port in Copenhagen?

Airport to Roskilde: By train. Either direct or with a transfer at Copenhagen Central Station.

Roskilde to cruise: Train to Copenhagen, and then either bus/metro or a taxi to reach your ship. Take note of where your ship is docking, as cruise ships use different quays in different parts of the city.

You’re still way too early to plan the specifics of the transport, but you can check your options with public transport from a few monts before on journeyplanner.dk / Rejseplanen app.

Also, is it feasible to take the train from Roskilde to Sweden as a day trip?

Yes, it is. There are no direct trains from Roskilde to Sweden, so you’ll have a transfer at a station in Copenhagen. Use Skånetrafiken’s app for planning and tickets.

Also is it possible to do a day trip back into Copenhagen to see the sites?

Absolutely. Again, train is the way to go and connections are frequent. You can use the journey planner mentioned above to check your options.
