Hamburg: Harbor Cruise with Wine and Cheese

1.Harbor Cruise with Wine and Cheese

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 795 reviews · 1h 30m · from $49Our pick

Spend 90 minutes cruising Hamburg Harbor with three glasses of red or white wine, 150 grams of cheese and crackers, and live German commentary. You’ll pass the Elbphilharmonie, HafenCity, St. Michael’s Church, the docks, and possibly Speicherstadt, depending on the tide.

“When we went it was only offered in German and being English speaking we couldn't understand what sights he was pointing out or any factoids he may have given. But the wait staff was wonderfully helpful and the length of the tour was more then expected. the wine and cheese offered were very good. Overall a nice relaxing event.”
