Things to know before booking your Hamburg evening cruise

  • If you desire flexibility in choosing the type of vessel for your cruise, you can opt for the 1 or 1.5-hour Hamburg Evening Lights Cruise ticket. This ticket offers you the option to choose between a traditional barge or a spacious passenger ship.
  • Opt for a barge if you want to cruise through Speicherstadt, Hamburg's historic warehouse district. The bridges in this region are too low for the large passenger ships to navigate through.
  • Unfortunately, Hamburg evening cruises are not suitable for wheelchair users due to limited accessibility on board.
  • While food and drinks are available for purchase during the cruise, they are not included in the ticket price. Be prepared to buy them at your personal expense.
