Evening lights trip – now it’s getting romantic…

When darkness falls, the Speicherstadt and the entire port of Hamburg shine in a beautiful glow. On our light trip we will show you the coziest and most romantic corners of the Hamburg harbor and its works of art from the water.

On a 1.5-hour boat trip through the Fleet and the port of Hamburg, you will see the most interesting and fascinating corners of the port of Hamburg at night. The lights of the Elbphilharmonie, the HafenCity, the musicals, the landing stages, the ships and the container bridges, quickly ignite a spark of romance into a fire.

The port of Hamburg is an open seaport and therefore dependent on the tide. If the Speicherstadt is not navigable due to the water level, we will be happy to arrange passenger ships to show you the beautiful and illuminated harbor

The tour very interesting to listen, we visited the biggest container terminal, got close to a huge container ship, enjoyed by lights of the harbour and city. Time flew very fast, it is hard to believe that it was 1.5 hours

Have booked through the internet. First I asked if you could also drive through Speicherstadt, which was answered with yes. On the spot the disillusionment : He (apparently the captain) would not drive through the Speicherstadt tonight. That's what he would have decided this morning, due to low water! Instead of the specified 90 minutes, the journey should only go 60 minutes. The other provider (10 meters further) offered a tour of the Speicherstadt for the same time! So we booked there, with the shipping company Albich. The bazaar was even bigger. The other provider was at Bridge 3, so please don't book there if you don't want to be cheated!!

It was a very nice trip, very happy again. However, it was really hard to find the right provider as it only had the landing pier number on it and NOT the provider. In the end, a provider of the lights ride took us with him who did not know it. That was really annoying!

During the day you can see much more. Photography is impossible in these light conditions. By covering the ship you have very poor views of sights.

The trip was very nicely designed, with live commentary. It was possible to choose a ship and thus a route, either through the Speicherstadt or through the container port. Very funny and courteous staff!
Absolutely wonderful

The lights, the water and the good mood were fantastic. I would recommend it to anyone. The giant container ships were gigantic.
