Hamburg’s Christmas Land & Lakes @ Ease

Hamburg, cruise River Elbe

by coach, boat & on foot

This magical experience combines land and water, with city sightseeing by coach and a relaxing boat trip on the Alster Lake.

Departing from the port, you will embark on a panoramic drive along the famous Reeperbahn, which, together with Grosse Freiheit and Herbert Strasse, are referred to as the ‘mile of sin’. You will also drive past remarkable buildings such as the City Hall and the Warehouse Quarter with its little canals. Watch the festive spirit come alive in this Christmas-loving city, always marvellously decorated with lights and decorations this time of year.

Before returning to the ship, you’ll take to the water for a relaxing boat trip on Hamburg’s waterways as you embark on an approximately one-hour voyage on the Alster Lake, cruising past some of the most exclusive residential areas of the city.
