Additional Information

Discover the beautifully lit warehouse district and marvel at the twinkling lights of Hamburg’s harbor in the evening. Experience an hour-long twilight voyage on our sea-worthy launches or cozy lounge ships through the harbor’s unique evening aura. When the tidal conditions align, the excursion winds through the historic warehouse district’s canals and waterways, showcasing its enchanting glow from the illuminated bridges and office buildings.

Due to being an exposed seaport, Hamburg’s port is subject to tidal impacts. This implies that navigating through the warehouse district’s canals and channels may not always be possible.

Beautiful & informative 1 hour boat trip - Informative 1-hour boat trip through the Speicherstadt and the Hamburg harbor. The guide was great, everything was explained well and with that certain Hamburg charm. The lights of the harbor, the buildings all around and the lights in the Speicherstadt created a great atmosphere for photo opportunities. A clear recommendation from us.

Unforgettable! - It was fun! The map link on the Trip Advisor website took us to the wrong meeting place but fortunately we had left enough time. We only saw the sign to download the English audio at the end of the trip so we hadn’t a clue about what the guy was saying but we still managed to enjoy the ride. As we were travelling towards the experience we say the largest container ship in the world docking, and our ride included a close up view of it at the end. It extended the trip and was a fabulous experience.

Light ride - A very nice 1-hour harbor tour/light cruise through the Hamburg harbor at 9 p.m. Drinks were provided. The staff and the guide were very nice and friendly. Really recommended for groups and couples.

Nice lights tour - Was ok, doing it in November meant it was too cold to stay on deck but table service at the bar inside was ok. Saw a lot of the harbour workings all lit up

Sailing in the dark - A bit confusing. The picture shows paddle steamers, but the boats are actually barges. Of course, if you can read... nothing else gets through under the bridges of the Speicherstadt... despite my initial disappointment, it was great and informative. Nice staff, the harbor and the Speicherstadt from a completely different perspective. It was worth it...

It was nice - It was a pretty crowded. I had specified that my preferred language (English) and still, the tour was made in German so I didn’t understand the info that the guide was saying. Which was a shame because he was giving a lot of facts about the different places. The drinks weren’t good. The view was really pretty though! And they were making a party vibe so it was fun.

Great trip but confusing that the ship's departure berth had moved! Far away from where we were told! German language not English - Nice trip through the harbor of Hamburg by night light - sailing trip in the harbor with nice lighting - giant ships and unloading nice sight - wonderful trip on the canals!

Silence is golden - The view of the Elbe lit is magical! A such a different perspective of the river in daylight. Would that i had relative silence to enjoy it and the excellent app with such interesting and informative facts on the Hamburg harbour. But the tour guide bellowed the German version in a manner that left me feeling as though i had been verbally & physically assaulted for more than an hour. I left the boat feeling traumatised. I understood not a word, but the violence spoke volumes to me. I could not recommend this tour to anyone. I abhor violence in all forms. I would not subject anyone to such verbal violence
