Highlights

Only with a barge can you experience the port of Hamburg from its most beautiful side. The small, maneuverable ships sail the fleets and canals of the Hanseatic city, depending on the water level. A very special experience, getting closer to the huge container and cargo ships than would be possible with large ships or from land. The trip will of course be moderated in an entertaining but informative manner by our experienced skippers. Enjoy the harbor adventure and come on board our ships. *** Moderation in German ***

About Hamburg

Hamburg is Germany's second city and biggest port, a place of canals, red-brick warehouses, a harbourside concert hall and the Reeperbahn.

Hamburg lies on the Elbe, about a hundred kilometres from the North Sea, and trade made it rich as a Hanseatic city. The Speicherstadt, a district of red-brick warehouses on timber piles beside canals, is listed by UNESCO together with the neighbouring Kontorhaus quarter. Beyond it the Elbphilharmonie concert hall rises from an old warehouse, with a public viewing terrace over the harbour.
