The boat trip was very... - The boat trip was very nice and you got to see quite a lot of the lights in the harbor. The problem is that there was no English spoken, so if you do not know German, you are just along for the ride. We were not offered any written tour guide. A nice experience, but could have been better.

Port of Hamburg - We all loved getting to see the cranes at the docks operating. That was very cool. It was disappointing that the tour was not offered in English when we went and despite it being July it was very cold. We all still enjoyed the overall experience.

Disappointed evening!! - I was hoping for some scenic spots like the photo of the tour shows. It was basically a “port” commentary of the container ships! Plus, as it was all in German we couldn’t understand any of it. We understood from the ticket information that we’d have something in English..we also ordered a drink, and about 15 minutes before arrival, were told the order got misplaced and so we could have it then if we wanted….no, we wanted to drink it DURING the cruise.! In addition when we booked and after we had paid, it said we had to have a print copy of the ticket! We were staying in a hotel and didnt have access to a printer, so that was problematic! Not a great experience !

In German, not in English - Evening cruise is in German. Even though we spoke to them in English when we bought the tickets, they didn’t bother telling us. The app does terrible with translation.

Waste of money - Absolutely horrible. Waste of money, waited for a cruise past scheduled departure time. The boat never showed up, there was no one at the ticket kiosk not at the dock. The office did not return my phone calls despite of me leaving VMs.

Pointless Tour!!! - Wish I hadn’t bothered. Not clear at time of booking tour was in German. Lighting on boat reflected on windows so difficult to look out of windows. Tables of eight so if you’re not next to the window then the viewing is limited. The publicity photo for the tour does not reflect what you get.
