Overview

The Hamburg Classic: Experience the grand harbor tour, an uncomplicated way to explore the harbor.

On small barges, you'll enter the Speicherstadt (water levels permitting), traverse HafenCity, and then head to the container port and locks. Passing the musical tent and the Elbphilharmonie, you'll proceed directly to the Landungsbrücken.

With large passenger ships, you'll explore the entire container port, the Elbe beach, and the fish market, getting an up-close look at the impressive container ships. Cruise ships are a common sight here. We also pass by the "Lion King" musical and the Elbphilharmonie before concluding the journey at the Landungsbrücken.

These tours last 1 hour each and are the quintessential way to discover the diverse Hamburg harbor. Seize the opportunity for an unforgettable tour that reflects the dynamic atmosphere of the harbor.

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
