"Ship watching" - The most attractive lookouts for shipspotters

Arriving in Hamburg on the Elbe


Arriving in Hamburg on the Elbe

107 kilometres - this is the distance from the Elbe estuary at the mouth of the North Sea to the port of Hamburg. Enjoy the view from aboard the ship as the "Old Land" ("Altes Land") passes you by - a beautiful spot of earth at the gates of Hamburg, enchanting with its apple orchards and thatched houses. Just before arriving in Hamburg, please listen carefully: for 60 years, at the "Willkomm-Höft" (the ship welcoming station) every ship has been greeted via loudspeakers with its national anthem and the hoisted national flag! 

Welcome to Hamburg!

Leaving Hamburg on the Elbe


Leaving Hamburg on the Elbe

From Hamburg into the world. No matter whether you are going on a round-the-world-trip or "just" on a small cruise into the North Sea. The journey begins as soon as you depart at the cruise terminal and leave the port of Hamburg. You will pass by the wonderful villas on the bank of the river Elbe, see local residents enjoying a walk on the beach to then pass the Hanseatic and medieval town of Stade in the "Old Land" ("Altes Land"), until the ship finally reaches the "Kugelbake" in Cuxhaven, a wooden lighthouse that marks the beginning of the North Sea - and, in earlier times, showed seafarers the way.
