Tours and harbour cruises in Hamburg

Barkasse harbour cruises, walking tours, Alster boat tours and day trips to Lüneburg, Blankenese or the Elbe region – tours are the category with the biggest price gaps between portals. The same harbour cruise departing near the Landungsbrücken or the Speicherstadt shows up with different starting prices because pier, language option and seasonal surcharge are priced differently.

Duration is worth a close look: a one-hour harbour round trip and a combined day trip with a boat leg can look alike in the title but differ a lot in what is included. We compare stated times in minutes and keep offers apart when the duration does not line up.

Guided tours in Hamburg mostly run in German and English; other languages are mainly available in high season from May to September. The language selection appears in each portal's booking step and can affect the price.

For trips on the Alster or into the Elbe region: the boats run in the rain too, but the view of the Speicherstadt and photo opportunities suffer. Providers with free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure let you move to a better day – often worth more than a euro or two of price difference.
