Over the weekend, seven cruise ships were anchoring in Hamburg. Featuring a new “Shore Leave” theme, this year’s event for the first time brought the thrill and excitement of maritime life to dry land.
Over 100 cruise ships call in Hamburg every year
For three days the waterfront has been transformed into an inspiring cruise world with shopping and culture, music and entertainment, sports and relaxation, children’s activities, culinary highlights and lots of maritime charm. The organisers expected more than 500,000 visitors over the three days.
