Harbour Tour with Captain Heinrich Prüsse

Harbour Round Trips

Harbour tours let interested passengers learn a lot about Hamburg and its harbour history, the light tour shows the city in its shining splendour.

Grand harbor tours in Germany's largest seaport - discover the port of Hamburg with all its maritime facets. The light tour shows you Hamburg in radiant splendor.
The port tour for connoisseurs: experience fascinating moments with changing attractions and highlights on the Elbe! Experienced captains stand at the helm of traditional launches and modern passenger ships and guide you through the port of Hamburg with wit and expertise (live commentary).
Explore Hamburg from a different perspective and marvel at Europe's most modern container terminals, gigantic ocean liners and impressive cranes. If the tide allows, the tour goes into the picturesque canals of the Speicherstadt. In any case, however, the route will take you past shipyards, the Landungsbrücken landing stages, the cruise and container terminals, the musical tents, locks and canals, and past the Elbphilharmonie concert hall (route subject to change).
As darkness falls, the Port of Hamburg and Speicherstadt shine in a beautiful blaze of lights. Our light tour lets you experience the impressive evening atmosphere and the romantic side of the port.
