Panoramic view of Hamburg

The main attraction of the Alster cruises in Hamburg is the panoramic view of the many towers and churches as well as the numerous small sailing boats.The beautiful Alsterpark can be enjoyed on this special Alster cruise through Hamburg, as can the boatmen's stories about the history of the city. The Alster cruises in Hamburg also take place as usual in winter, with a punch to put guests in a cosy mood. Coffee, mulled wine, hot chocolate and cake are also served on board, making the Alster cruises through Hamburg a highlight at any time of year. Every day, the ships set off from the harbour to begin their journey through the city of Hamburg. The duration of such a trip across the Alster is around one hour. Whether on Alster round trips and cruises, canal cruises, canal cruises, Vierlande cruises or twilight cruises, you will soon realise that the "Gateway to the World" is not only the city with the most bridges, but also one of the greenest metropolises in Europe. All you have to do is decide between the variety of Alster tours. You can find the current departure times for all Alster cruises here.
