Hamburg Cruise Days

Cruise-ship parade off the Landungsbrücken – Blue Port bathes the harbor in light.

Up to four mega-liners moored in port at the same time, a choreographed departure parade complete with light show, and Michael Batz's signature blue harbor illumination (Blue Port) bathing the entire waterfront in cool light: the Cruise Days are the most spectacular Hamburg port weekend of the year after the Hafengeburtstag, and a favorite vantage point is anywhere between the Landungsbrücken and the Elbphilharmonie.
