Christmas on deck

Christmas on Deck, a maritime Christmas market right on the Elbe, awaits you on the St. Pauli sun deck – with harbour views, festive decorations and a cosy atmosphere. Perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy Christmas with a Hanseatic flair.

Winter harbour atmosphere on the Elbe

Something special happens during Advent in the middle of the Stadt-Landungsbrücken: the St. Pauli sun deck is transformed into an atmospheric Christmas market with a view of the harbour and the Elbe. Under fairy lights and winter decorations, you can sip mulled wine or hot punch and enjoy the winter harbour panorama — a relaxed alternative to classic Christmas markets.

Cuisine & winter specialities

‘Christmas on Deck’ offers warm, hearty cuisine: from hearty stews and goulash to soups and winter finger food — everything you need to warm up on cold days. There's also mulled wine, punch and winter drinks. The combination of winter food, drinks and harbour views makes the market a treat for all the senses. 

For whom: Sociable, relaxed, urban

The Christmas market on the sun deck is aimed at anyone who wants to spend Christmas in peace and quiet with a view of the water. Whether it's after-work mulled wine with colleagues, a relaxed get-together with friends or a cosy evening with the family, Christmas on Deck is ideal for groups, couples or solo travellers. This place is a real insider tip, especially for Hamburg residents and visitors looking for something different from traditional markets.

Curling with a view of the Elbe
