    The highlights of this cruise

    The evening cruise on the River Elbe provides an atmospheric start to your days of discovery. Enjoy the comfort on board and presentations from your experts before you arrive in Antwerp. In the vibrant cultural city and inspiration of Peter Paul Rubens, you will be inspired by the Grote Markt, the Church of Our Lady and guildhalls during guided city walks*. Familiar sights in a new light and undiscovered places await you after your evening cruise on the Thames. Tower Bridge opens up for your passage so that the HANSEATIC spirit can reach its berth directly in the global metropolis of London. In the evening and on the following day, you will have plenty of time for individual explorations – or a tour* of Borough Market with Celia Brooks, a street art tour* through London’s trendy districts or a ride on the London Eye*: embrace the city’s way of life. The finale belongs to Helgoland. You can experience the island on a Zodiac ride, subject to weather conditions, and enjoy the pure expedition spirit. It’s not just the North Sea flair that will accompany you on your cruise back to Hamburg – but your many memories, too.

    * The shore activities are not included in the cruise price and are in the planning stage. Subject to change.
