Discover Europe's third-biggest harbor on board of a modern 42-foot sailing yacht.
Begin your trip in the middle of the port of Hamburg, very close to the Elbphilharmonie, the iconic concert hall of Hamburg. Make maneuvers just in front of the Elbphilharmonie then cruise along the maritime skyline and see the biggest container ships in the world up close.
The route takes you past the large dry docks and container towards Övelgönne, Der Alte Schwede, Teufelsbrück, and the Airbus factory into Mühlenberger Loch.
