Culinary & Nightlife

Sit back and take in the beautiful Hamburg sunset on this guided wine and cheese harbor cruise. Relax in the calm atmosphere on board and enjoy the views of the sun setting behind the city. A dedicated server will ensure that you enjoy delicious white or red wine and a variety of locally-sourced cheese. Dine outside in warmer weather or feel cozy and warm in the heated salon during winter.   Cruise through Hamburg Harbor as your live tour guide points out the important monuments of this Hanseatic city. Learn about the docks, St. Michael's Church, the Elbphilharmonie, the new district of HafenCity, and parts of the historical Speicherstadt, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The port of Hamburg is one of the city's most-visited sights; the best views of the Hanseatic city can definitely be experienced from the water. However, if an ordinary harbor tour proves too boring for you, then fear not: there is an alternative. Climb aboard Olivia Ahoi! and experience a party tour with Olivia Jones. Onboard one of the traditional shipping company Abicht's boats, enjoy music, dance and sing along. Keep warm and content with a little taste of Landratten-Likör (an alcoholic spirit for those without sea legs!) served by Olivia and her family and learn more about the port of Hamburg en route. At the end of the 75-minute tour, snap some photos with your hosts. Disembark from the Landungsbrücken then continue the party on land at the Olivia Jones Bar.

Embark on an entertaining and informative walking tour of Hamburg's iconic harbor area. The everyday life of the sailors, the fishermen, and even the traders in the fish market will come together during the tour to form an overall picture of past and present times. End with a tasty fish sandwich. Hamburg's rise as a commercial and cultural metropolis is due in part to its port. It is its economic engine and most important site. Strolling along the northern waterfront, hear about the changes the port has undergone and why it has been so important to Hamburg. Let your guide tell you in an entertaining way which people have influenced the port area and the neighborhoods around it, how they have lived and worked there, and how international seafaring has shaped Hamburg as Germany's gateway to the world. Visit and discuss some of the places or pubs on the harbor side, which are well-known also outside of Hamburg. Check out the fish market, walk past the old Holzhafen, see the Schellfischposten and a Seeman's Mission, and finally taste a selection of delicious fresh fish sandwiches and a beer or softdrink in an original small snack bar. In addition, hear a short introduction to the ecosystem of the Tidal Elbe and the fish species found there. This guided tour ends near a public port ferry stop. From there you can go back to the Landungsbrücken or continue exploring the area on your own.
