90 minutes Hamburg Evening light tour to the Speicherstadt

About this activity

The 1.5-hour light cruise shows the Port of Hamburg at its most beautiful. As soon as the lights of the city, the ships and the container terminals illuminate the port in the evening, a special atmosphere is created on the water.

During the journey you will pass the illuminated landing piers, the Elbe Philharmonic, the large container terminals as well as docks, shipyards and harbour cranes, which turn the port into an impressive sea of lights at night.

Depending on the tide, the light ride also leads through the romantically illuminated Speicherstadt. Regardless, you will experience the most beautiful evening views of the Port of Hamburg from the water.

Our captains accompany the cruise with exciting and entertaining explanations around the port.

Ideal for those who want to experience Hamburg in the evening relaxed from the water.
