Lights tour through the port of Hamburg and to the historic warehouse district
Overview
Available languages
1 hour
Mobile ticket
Experience the illuminated Speicherstadt and the sea of lights in the evening Hamburg harbor.
Evening lights cruise - Hamburg at night - one-hour cruise on our maritime barges or comfortable saloon ships through the special evening atmosphere of the harbor basins. If the tide is right, the cruise takes you through the canals and canals of the historic Speicherstadt, with its magically illuminated bridges and office buildings.
The Hamburg harbor is an open seaport and therefore dependent on the tide. For this reason, it is not possible to navigate the canals and canals of the historic Speicherstadt at every date / time. Live moderation in German.

Fun and great impressions

4.00Everything worked out great, very friendly staff, entertaining comments. Be there early enough for a seat of your choice. € 30 / ticket is a word, drinks also not cheap - but what is that in Hamburg? A successful evening, was fun.
Slightly disappointed

3.00We booked for 1800 but we were told by the company at the site there wasn't a 1800 we had to be there for 1600 (be here for 4 at dock 4 we were told), sad really because we wanted to sail for the evening lights, it wasn't dark enough. I would have given a 1 star but the staff onboard the vessel we lovely and it was a beautiful boat.
Beautiful tour by night…

4.00Beautiful tour of Hamburg’s Speicherstadt and working harbour by night. Gives a unique view of the city. Elbphilharmonie - superb sight. Get there early to get your spot… and forget about queueing! With usual German attention to having a good time, you can order a beer or wine at your table, from a very genial waiter. I left this tour even more in love with Hamburg than when we set off.
Very bad

1.00Sadly, we can't tell you about the tour because it was not in English nor did it provide any translation. Our tickets say English audio, but there was only German. Those around seemed to enjoy it.
See a lot in minimal time!

4.00It 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.
Silence is golden

3.00The 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
Light ride

4.00A 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

4.00Was 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
