Only issue we had was a... - Only issue we had was a last minute download of itinerary in English so we knew about the history. It took a while to download and we were a bit behind the German version.

Harbour cruise December 2025 - It was very interesting and humorous. Good information was given and presented humorously. We were able to observe the installation of a large Contain3er ship from our barge.

Funny snowstorm ride - Despite blizzard "Elli" we were quite wonderfully entertained. The whole team was very friendly and it was very extensive in information. We really liked it! Thank you for that.

Informative with smile factor - The journey continues to the large overseas port with the mega freighter and the repair docks on the return journey. It was very informative. On the outward journey without time delay many things about what is happening and the visibilities learn in often in anecdotes. On the return journey then punctually. The recommendation to visit Cap San Diego should be taken into account. Costs 12 Eur and not 5 Eur as advertised;-)

Tour with wit and charm - The one-hour harbour tour was a great experience. Starting with sunshine and ending with a lot of snow and poor visibility it was a safe ride with wit and charm thanks to Captain Özgür. All other staff working at ticket sales or in front of the barge are also very friendly and helpful. Answering questions via the social media platform is also fast and competent. Ticket sales via the homepage also work smoothly! All in all a great experience!

Definitely join in - The harbour tour was very informative, you received a lot of information that you hardly think about. If you keep ships next to the huge containers, you know how small you are. Very entertaining the young man accompanied us through the ride.
