As a cruise ship destination Hamburg has come a long way in these years and now is a permanent fixture on international cruise ship itineraries. Combining the strengths of the port and the city in the coming years is a challenge I am more than happy to accept.”

"Since being a child I am very interested in ships and the shipping industry – therefore I cannot imagine a better working place than the harbor of Hamburg! After being actively involved in the buildup of Cruise Gate Hamburg GmbH and the construction of the cruise terminal Steinwerder my main objective now is the operation of all cruise terminals in Hamburg. My current position as the link between operational and administrational areas is very interesting and the optimization of different processes for the cruise companies and passengers is the main focus."

"I have always had a strong affinity to the harbor and all that is connected to ships, so the opportunity to work at the Cruise Gate Hamburg was a dream come true. Being able to co-ordinate all the regularities connected with the invoicing involved within and around the organization of the Cruise Ships coming into the port of Hamburg and creating an organized environment, supporting the Management and our team as a Management Assistant, and at the same time being part of the vibrating, interesting and internationally accentuated world of cruises, it doesn’t feel like work – because I love what I do."

“I am actually trained in another field but took a job in the cruise industry and was immediately fascinated by everything to do with it. It’s a lot of fun to work with national and international cruise business partners and assist our managing director. I am also responsible for press-related matters and interview requests put to us, and I make sure that news is available online quickly. That includes updates on Facebook and Instagram.”

"I love my hometown Hamburg and I am happy to be able to contribute to the marketing of this wonderful city. I would particularly like to show the cruise lines and their cruise guests from all over the world what Hamburg has to offer. My area of ​​responsibility as a project manager in marketing therefore primarily includes the maintenance of social media accounts and event management in the Steinwerder terminal. I also support our management in organizational matters and am the first point of contact for the customer management. "

"When I studied cruise tourism management, I enjoyed exploring in detail the theoretical side of cruise shipping. During my studies I tried to get as much practical experience as I could in various key areas, ranging from shore excursion management all the way to recruiting cruise ship personnel, both onboard ships and on land. I would now like to use the knowledge I have acquired and extend the properties CGH has in this city - a city that plays such a crucial role in shipping - so that they can be used as event venues, thus boosting Hamburg’s attractiveness as a cruise destination."

"My daily work at the different cruise terminals is diverse and interesting. I can actively introduce my knowledge from my seafaring days which is very positive for the whole team. Additionally I am responsible for a new and exciting project – the supervision of events at our wonderful location cruise terminal Steinwerder."

"As long as I am working now I have been related to cruises and cruise ships. I am very excited to actively introduce my knowledge regarding cruise calls, passenger exchange, shore excursions etc. to the Cruise Gate Hamburg GmbH."

"My relationship to different ports is a very fundamental aspect of my life for several years now. All the different guests, diverse languages and a common goal make sure that the procedures within the port remain challenging and important. So every day I am provided with new experiences."

"I have been part of  Hamburg cruise industry since its beginning. Over the past years it has evolved into one of Europes biggest cruise destinations and its great to experience this unique journey. My decades of maritime experience and acquired knowledge at sea and in port, help me support my team and insure procedures run smoothly at the harbour. All in all it's a pleasure to be part of the Cruise Gate Hamburg team and I look forward to all it's adventures."

"It all started when I spent my holiday onboard a cruise ship. I found it fascinating to go to bed in one country and wake up in another the next morning. I got hooked, and for almost 5 years I travelled the seas onboard a cruise ship where I learned and saw a lot of the world. Shipping comes with fresh challenges every day, and you just have to face and master them."
