Note on departure times
The listed departure times serve as a guideline, as our 2-hour harbor tours are flexibly adjusted to current demand. Minor deviations may occur – during peak times we operate more frequently, and occasionally there may be slight delays.
We recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before departure at St. Pauli Landungsbrücken, Bridge 1.
No prior registration or phone inquiry is necessary. At the top of the promenade by Bridge 1, you’ll find our team members, who will be happy to show you where the ship for the 2-hour harbor tour departs. Our staff is always available on site to answer any questions you may have. The next departure times are also displayed in real time on the digital information boards.
Our tickets for the 2-hour Hamburg harbor tour are tied to a specific date, but we handle them flexibly like open tickets. If you’re unable to take the tour at your booked time, it’s usually no problem to join on another day or at a different time. Simply speak to our staff on site.
The tickets are valid for all 2-hour tours on our large passenger ships or – depending on availability – also on our comfortable barges.
- The date and time selected during booking help you with planning and also serve as the basis for our cancellation policy (24 hours before departure).
- Your ticket is valid for one year from the date of purchase and can be redeemed once within this period – even at a later time.
- If you wish to take the tour on a different day or at a different time, no email or phone call is necessary.
Simply bring your valid ticket to Landungsbrücken, Bridge 1, or to one of our on-site ticket pavilions and speak directly to our staff. They will be happy to assist you and assign you to the next available ship.
After this cruise you will know the well-known container terminals, understand why the historic warehouse district is not accessible at all times of the day, will be happy to explain to your neighbors how dry docks and current regulation locks work and what TEU, bulbous bow, RoRo and much more mean. Experience the Port of Hamburg from all angles with our two-hour XXL Harbour Cruise.
