Hamburg Two-Hour Harbor Cruise Adventure

Enjoy the maritime charm on a two-hour harbor cruise through the Port of Hamburg and experience the lively hustle and bustle around the harbor during one of the daily tours.
The Port of Hamburg is massive – the entire city of Cologne could easily fit inside it. It is the second-largest port in Europe after Rotterdam and impresses with its vastness.

Hamburg has grown around the port, and many attractions as well as the city’s skyline are closely connected to it.

Experience the contrast between modernity and history: from Elbe fishing villages and the fish market to modern container terminals and cruise ships. Discover the Reeperbahn, old sailing ships, and gigantic container vessels. On board a harbor-ready ship, you’ll get an up-close view of the gateway to the world.

Sail through the historic Speicherstadt, explore the modern HafenCity quarters, and see the famous Elbphilharmonie from the water. A unique experience for every visitor!
