Hamburg Port Shuttles

A trifecta of terminals in the Port of Hamburg, Hamburg Cruise Center is made up of three main stations in the neighborhoods of Altona, Hafen City and Steinwerder. Guests will find easy-to-moderate access to public transportation, depending on what terminal cruise port they arrive to - the HafenCity Port is close to the Elbphilharmonie Ferry Terminal and Überseequartier Subway Station, while the Altona Port offers instant access to the Dockland Ferry Terminal and Königstraße Subway Station. Conversely, the Steinwerder Cruise Center is practically isolated from public transfers - in moments of isolation, make things easy by reserving a private vehicle that helps bring things closer, whether that means exploring quaint cafes resting along the famed Elbe in an intimate sedan or getting immersed in city life with a group-friendly SUV, chartered bus or van. Meet-and-greet services make things a little simpler for those interested in seeing as many things within a 24-hour span as possible, from taxis who know the benefits of taking scenic German backroads to a local personal driver with the knowledge to lead the way toward overseen details.

Explore each portion of the city by simply following the flow of the day, discovering vibrant warehouse-chic restaurants and exhibits of HafenCity, whether it be through the famed International Maritime Museum of Hamburg or a waltz across the open-air mall in Lohse Park. Other relics within the region include the vintage cars of Prototype Museum, as well as scenic lookouts from the famed observation deck at The HafenCity Viewpoint. Closer toward the west side’s neighborhood of Altona rest much older relics that tend to transport guests to another time, not only through the local WWII artifacts showcased at the Museum for Hamburg History but epic walks aboard the 19th-century Rickmer Rickmers. For memorable ways to end the evening, consider dining somewhere along the water, whether that means settling down with seafood from Alt Helgoländer Fischerstube or beloved hamburgers at Jim Block Jungfernstieg.
