Description

The 1.5-hour light cruise shows the Port of Hamburg at its most beautiful. As soon as the lights of the city, the ships and the container terminals illuminate the port in the evening, a special atmosphere is created on the water. During the journey you will pass the illuminated landing piers, the Elbe Philharmonic, the large container terminals as well as docks, shipyards and harbour cranes, which turn the port into an impressive sea of lights at night. Depending on the tide, the light ride also leads through the romantically illuminated Speicherstadt. Regardless, you will experience the most beautiful evening views of the Port of Hamburg from the water. Our captains accompany the cruise with exciting and entertaining explanations around the port. Ideal for those who want to experience Hamburg in the evening relaxed from the water.

North German, honestly.

We boarded with 9 people and I showed my colleagues, from all over Germany, the beautiful HH from the water side. Every HH visitor who doesn't have much time should get a harbour tour...

Just super funny and informative

The ride was really great, the men on board were all in a good mood. Only the women or the service staff are allowed to work on their friendliness. Especially if unfortunately there is not the right change and you want to pay for your drink e by card. Apart from that, this was certainly not our last tour.

Great 90 minutes was really worth it

In the beginning we went to one of the giants (container ship) of the sea. Here the guide has lots of interesting information that he has always packed entertainingly. In the end we went to the Speicherstadt. Here, in addition to the beautifully illuminated facades, turning in the narrow canals was a real highlight
