A wonderful tour past all the giant ships, with very insightful and witty commentary on social and political issues, as well as highly entertaining remarks on Hamburg’s politics. The little launch, splashing with low-tide water, made the close proximity to the water a delightful experience—with its intense rocking—that was truly unforgettable! I can highly recommend it if you’re not on a steamer that, like a cruise ship, is sterile and shielded from any swell while you’re on a harbor tour! Awesome, awesome!

Travel along docks and canals as your captain chooses the route in the moment, so you watch port work and ships up close from the water.

Enjoy live commentary in German throughout the trip, then step off at Elbphilharmonie or stay onboard until the pier you started from.

See the warehouses of the historic Speicherstadt district, container terminals, shipyards and cranes lining the waterfront as you sail.

Choose a 1or 2 hour harbor cruise when you book, matching the length of your trip to the time you want to spend on the water.

Captain Matthias was very entertaining. Time flew by, and we learned a lot of interesting things about Hamburg’s past and present during the hour-long cruise on a ship that’s over 100 years old. We had a great time! THANK YOU!

Matthias, our boat captain, shared a wealth of information with us in his own humorous way about the history of the harbor, the Speicherstadt, and several sights. It was a tour we’ll always remember.

Interesting INFORMATION that was new even to me at 65. Just the right balance, with a bit of fun. Just please cut back a little on the jokes that aren't suitable for children. Great—I highly recommend it!

A very interesting and comprehensive tour. The captain takes his time to show us the monuments and the huge commercial ships up close. Highly recommended.
