The lights tour with a trip through the Speicherstadt took place WITHOUT the Speicherstadt. The reason given was the flood. Certainly correct, but then the question arises as to why this is offered if it cannot take place. The organizer can check in advance whether it is high tide or not. As a customer, this should not be my job.

As the supervisor of a small youth group, I didn't realize when I booked that it was already dark at that time. One thing to criticize is that there was a poor connection at the rear, more loudspeakers in the rear area would be an advantage. Otherwise everything was fine.

Very interesting tour of the port. I had booked a tour with English translation, but unfortunately we didn't get it.

The tour was very interesting, but in the pictures it looked like there were more lights - a bit more "romantic". Unfortunately, we only saw the shore of the harbor and a few container/freight ships, which was still interesting and worth seeing.

Absolutely recommendable. We sailed around the harbor on the "Prinzess" in the evening glow of lights. Impressive (we are landlubbers) and the one and a half hours were, unfortunately, over far too quickly. Marvin told us interesting and funny stories. Simply great and we really enjoyed it. Thank you!

Your experience

A grand evening in Hamburg

Explore the enchanting waterways of the Speicherstadt, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and marvel at the intricate details of its illuminated architecture. Venture further into the heart of the port, witnessing the impressive scale of container terminals and the bustling activity of maritime life. These cruises often include live commentary from a German guide and a multilingual audio guide, providing fascinating insights into the history and culture of the city.

Savor the sights

If you prefer a quicker overview, the one-hour harbor tour is an excellent choice. This shorter cruise offers a taste of Hamburg's maritime charm, showcasing the city's most iconic landmarks. Glide past the historic Speicherstadt, admire the modern architecture of HafenCity, and catch a glimpse of the colossal container ships that define Hamburg's skyline. While shorter in duration, these tours still provide ample opportunities for photography and unforgettable memories.
