Today, Saturday, December 14, 2024, Hamburg's port is hosting a special event: for the second-to-last time this year, three cruise ships are docked simultaneously. The AIDAnova from AIDA Cruises, the Hanseatic Spirit from Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, and the MS Amadea from Phoenix Reisen are all visiting the port.

The MS Amadea, widely known as the "ZDF Dream Ship," has been moored at the Cruise Center Altona since Friday. As part of a 12-day Advent cruise through the Baltic Sea, passengers had the opportunity to explore the city of Hamburg on Friday evening. Today, guests are disembarking, while preparations are underway for the next group. This time, the ship will set off on a week-long Advent journey, visiting Aalborg, Copenhagen, Wismar, and Kiel.

As is customary during this winter season, AIDAnova, the flagship of AIDA Cruises, is docked at the Cruise Center Steinwerder. Here, one week-long metropolitan cruise comes to an end, and another week-long itinerary begins. This new journey will take passengers to Copenhagen, Oslo, and Kristiansand. Later this evening, the ship will depart with new guests and head first to the Danish capital.

The Hanseatic Spirit, the smallest of the three ships, is the third participant in today’s triple arrival. This expedition ship from Hapag-Lloyd Cruises has just completed a 15-day winter voyage through Norway and is now moored at the Cruise Center Baakenhöft. Today, passengers will board for a week-long journey through the Kiel Canal, with stops in Copenhagen, Karlskrona, Visby on Gotland, and Gdynia near Gdańsk. The cruise will conclude next Saturday in Kiel.
