Full description

Experience the beauty and history of Hamburg's waterways on a sightseeing cruise. Pass through narrow channels and under old and new bridges. Take in views of the Speicherstadt warehouse district and cruise by the barque ship 'Peking.'

Meet your guide at the tour partner's shop and board the comfortable and spacious ship. Begin your sailing adventure through Hamburg's old free port area where the contrast in the city between the old and the new architecture is most apparent. 

Sail thorugh imposing rows of red-brick warehouses that store carpets, coffee, and spices in the Speicherstadt district. Listen to onboard commentary or use your audio guide to hear about the facinating history of this Hanseatic city. 

Glide through the modern face of the metropolis as you reach HafenCity, the contemporary residential and business district of Hamburg. Capture pictures of the waved-roof of the Elbphilharmonie Concert Hall.

Take a short detour to the steel-hulled Peking ship to view its stunning 4 masts. Return to your meeting point at the end of the cruise.

Es war ein wirklich tolles Erlebnis. Wir waren im Nikolaifleet, der aufgrund der Gezeiten äußerst selten befahren werden kann. Dort stehen noch ein paar original Hamburger Häuser von vor dem großen Brand.

Eine Tour bei der man eher die Schönheit der Langsamkeit und Details entdeckt. Viel besser als die lauten überfüllten Touren von den Landungsbrücken

Die Tour war echt schön - allerdings konnte die geplante Fleetfahrt aufgrund Niedrigwasser nicht stattfinden; das hätte ich gern vorher erfahren ! ☹️ Die beiden jungen Männer von der ATG haben ihren Job aber wirklich gut gemacht!
