The round was probably standard. The crew made it an experience. The waiters were very friendly and attentive. But the highlight was definitely our "tour guide". It was information and entertainment at its best. Or was there also some sailor's yarn involved???? 🤔😉😊

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

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!

An illuminated journey through maritime history

As the cityscape is bathed in the ethereal glow of twilight, embark on a 90-minute voyage through Hamburg's historic port. Navigate through the atmospheric canals, witnessing the world's largest warehouse district, Speicherstadt, in all its gothic grandeur. The UNESCO World Heritage site, with its distinct red-brick architecture and meandering waterways, is a sight to behold under the starlit sky. Marvel at the sparkling spectacle of the Elbphilharmonie, one of the world's most acoustically advanced concert halls, illuminating the night with its unique architectural design. Beyond the panoramic views, the cruise ensures a comfortable and engaging journey with live commentary in German, offering insightful narratives about Hamburg's rich history and culture.
