It is one of Germany’s 3 city states and the second largest city in Germany after Berlin. Historically it was once a part of the Hanseatic league and has today become one of the most beautiful and exciting cities in Europe. The city became a well-known tourist destination due to its wild, red light district but is now attracting a more discerning clientele with its modern architecture in the form of the Elbphilharmonie, Speicherstadt, and the neighboring Hafencity, not to mention the canals, Alster, stunning Rathaus and high end shopping.
This shore excursion is adjusted to each ship’s docking times and starts promptly after your vessel’s arrival, returning with plenty of time to spare before its departure.

From your ship’s port in Kiel you will drive to Hamburg where your own private, English-speaking guide will meet you for a private, 2 hour tour of the city. You will be taken straight to the historic heart of Hamburg to see the stunning Town Hall, the St Nikolai Church (still a burnt out shell because of allied bombings in WW2), the Trost Bridge in the heart of the Medieval City, the UNESCO listed Speicherstadt, the modern architectural splendour of the Elbphilharmonie and more. You will then have 2 hours of free time to explore more of the city on your own before driving back to Kiel. This tour includes a private bus transfer to and from Hamburg from Kiel (circa 2 hours each way) and will drop you back at your ship at the end.
