Hamburg is the third-busiest port in Europe and 15th-largest worldwide. Many ships & boats sail out of Hamburg Port, ranging from container ships to ocean worthy sailing vessels to tug boats & barges. Sightseers can chose from a large variety of boats for tours around the harbor, dockyards & container port as well as overnight excursions down the Elbe River & into the North Sea.
