Step by Step
Climb aboard the sightseeing boat and discover Hamburg from a privileged perspective: the water. This 90-minute harbour tour includes live commentary in German and English, explaining historical, architectural and commercial landmarks as you cruise along. You can stay on the boat to enjoy the full journey or hop off at permitted stops to explore key areas on your own and then hop back on.
The itinerary covers highlights such as the Elbphilharmonie, Speicherstadt, Cap San Diego, the Harbour Museum and Wilhelmsburg Island, allowing you to capture both the modernity and maritime tradition of Hamburg. The 'hop-on, hop-off' format gives you the flexibility to structure your visit: combine the ride with short stops in the historic city centre and re-embark to continue the tour.
After sailing, you can enter the International Maritime Museum, where an extensive collection of centuries of shipping, trade and exploration awaits you. From ship models and historical artefacts to immersive exhibits, the museum encapsulates the evolution of shipping and its global impact. It's a perfect complementary experience to the river walk, giving context to what you see from the ship.
