Celebrate and hold events in Hamburg's blue center
Floating event locations: The Alster ships in Hamburg
If there's something that shapes the cityscape the most, it's the Alster ships on the Inner and Outer Alster in Hamburg.
The elongated, flat ships bring you closer to the water and take you not only along the canals
in Winterhude and Eimsbüttel but also to the fleets of the historic Speicherstadt.
Since 1977, the now 16 ships of Alster-Touristik have been gliding over the blue center of the Hanseatic city,
impressing not only with a distinctive view but also with the uncomparable Hamburg feeling!
You can give your event the label "unique" right in the middle of the Alster.
In cooperation with Alster-Touristik GmbH, we realize your event on board the Alster ships according to your wishes.
Whether catering, floristry, or entertainment, whether conferences, Christmas parties, birthdays,
or weddings – on these floating event locations, you will impress your guests!
Plan an event on the Alster and take with you – the perfect ship!
You can choose from the Alster-Touristik fleet between the ship types Traditional, Flat Ship, and Exclusive. Each type comes with characteristic features: While the exclusive Alster ships, nicknamed "Jewels of the Alster," impress with their high-quality equipment and the solar catamaran Alstersonne, the traditional ships captivate with their historical look. The flat ships round off your event not only with their light-filled atmosphere thanks to their numerous side and roof windows but also allow a route extension around the fleets in the Speicherstadt due to their low height.
