MS Hamburg – An exquisite cruise experience through the Orient

The MS Hamburg , Germany’s charming smallest cruise ship, will make the hearts of travel enthusiasts beat faster next spring when it takes you on an exotic journey through the oriental fairy tale. This remarkable nautical gem opens the doors to a world of discovery, beginning in the dazzling metropolis of Dubai , through the picturesque landscapes of Oman and finally to the undiscovered splendour of Saudi Arabia.

The voyage with the MS Hamburg is an invitation to explore the rich cultural and natural diversity of the Orient. Under the care of Plantours Cruises , the MS Hamburg takes its passengers to the fascinating world of the Middle East, revealing sights and cultures far beyond the usual cruise experience.

From Dubai to Enigmatic Oman

The journey begins on 10 March 2024 in the cosmopolitan city of Dubai , a place that is considered a dazzling interface between East and West. From here, the MS Hamburg sets course for the mystical ports of Khasab and Muscat in Oman. Oliver Steuber, Managing Director of Plantours Cruises, raves about the opportunities these exotic locations offer.

Saudi Arabia’s Unknown Beauty

The jewel of the voyage is the unexplored port of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, where the MS Hamburg stays overnight. With a two-day stay in Jeddah, passengers are immersed in a city that offers a perfect symbiosis of historical grandeur and modern architecture. The heritage of Jeddah’s old bazaar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is as captivating as the soaring Jeddah Tower, touted as the world’s future tallest building.

Yanbu, the second port of call in Saudi Arabia, opens the gateway to exciting adventures on Baridi Island. Unforgettable desert camps and underwater explorations are among the highlights of the land programme, while the route continues to Egypt and finally Jordan, where the incomparable journey ends with a visit to the ruined city of Petra and the Dead Sea.

A-ROSA Wine & Pleasure Travel 2024: Discover Europe’s wine worlds

Exclusive arrangements for insight and relaxation.

The combination of cruise and land programme allows for a deeper connection to the regions travelled. A four-day stay in Dubai before the cruise or a final four-day stay in Jordan is offered to round off the oriental adventure. With prices starting at 2,599 euros per person, cruising on the MS Hamburg is a delightful ticket to an expanded horizon of discovery.

The MS Hamburg voyage is more than just a cruise; it is a carefully cured experience designed to uncover the spirit of the Orient. Detailed information and booking options for this unique voyage can be found on the Plantours Cruises website. With the MS Hamburg , a voyage full of exotic wonders, fascinating cultures and breathtaking landscapes is just a click away.

MS Hamburg – three Antarctic cruises in the winter program

September 11, 2023 - The MS Hamburg is without a doubt Germany's smallest ocean-going cruise ship. On December 4, 2023, MS Hamburg will set off from Santiago de Chile on three spectacular cruises towards Antarctica.

The Bremen operator Plantours Cruises is organizing three spectacular cruises lasting 19, 16 and 29 days. The 144 meter long ship offers a maximum of 400 passengers an appropriate place to stay on the high seas. The shipping company only has the MS Hamburg available for ocean cruises. The company is fundamentally faced with the challenge of finding interesting and exciting routes. And the three routes have it all.

MS Hamburg in the port of Barbados

The Antarctic season starts in Santiago de Chile for a 19-day trip. The journey takes you along the west coast of South America, through the Chilean fjords and the Strait of Magellan to Antarctica. The trip ends in Ushuaia /Argentina.

The next cruise lasts 16 days. It leads from Ushuaia to the Falkland Islands, to Antarctica and back to Ushuaia.

Ushuaia - Avenida San Martin

The third and, at 29 days, longest trip starts again in Ushuaia and first leads to Cape Horn . Antarctica, South Georgia and the island of Tristan da Cunha are then on the route list. The cruise ends in Cape Town /South Africa.

The flights from/to Germany are included in the travel price for the three Antarctic trips. And it is understood that landings will be made using on-board Zodiacs.

drive power:

The Hanseatic city raises expectations: Although Hamburg is offering so many fascinating attraction poles, its habitants don’t make a big fuss about it.

Henning Voscherau christened our passenger ship “Hamburg” in 1996. Certainly the former mayor of Hamburg knew at that time already, how it would live up to the city of Hamburg.

The two big lounges of the MS Hamburg convince with simple elegance. Azure coloured panoramic windows present the marvellous view over the Elbe in proper light. Due to its pleasant practicality and an elevated VIP lounge on the upper deck, companies preferentially hold their conventions and conferences here.

Direct access to the big weather deck, two bar areas, the kitchen, a dance floor with starry sky, a stereo system including microphones, spacious cloakrooms plus the sanitary facilities provide an even more comfortable stay, further the ship is barrier-free.

Up to 388 people can be placed on board depending on the seating – this reflects the boat’s classy understatement.

• MS Hamburg is the first cruise ship to arrive at Port Riga...

MS Hamburg is the first cruise ship to arrive at Port Riga (Latvia) in 2022

MS Hamburg arrived at Port Riga (Latvia) on Tuesday, April 12, marking the start of the port's cruise season.

The MS Hamburg ship with a capacity of 420 guests and 170 crew, is owned by the Conti Group and currently operated by Plantours Kreuzfahrten. 

The cruise ship called at the port of Riga as part of her 12-day voyage, which started in Hamburg (Germany) and will take passengers to a number of Baltic Sea cities, such as Helsinki (Finland) , Copenhagen (Denmark) , and Stockholm (Sweden) .

Viesturs Zeps, chairman of the Freeport of Riga Board said they were pleased to welcome cruise ships to Riga again, although the season would not be easy.

“Currently, about 120 cruise ship visits are planned, bringing more than 100,000 passengers to Riga. At the same time, it must be borne in mind that the changing geopolitical situation and the war in Ukraine can and are likely to have an impact on cruise ship plans and the number of visits expected. “Regardless, we are ready to accommodate every cruise passenger in Riga, giving us the opportunity to get to know the hospitality and uniqueness of our beautiful capital, as well as strengthen the city's economy and tourism sector.”

The cruise season in the Latvian capital is anticipated to last from April through October.

CBP Welcomes the MS Hamburg to the Port of Cleveland

CLEVELAND— U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officers welcomed passenger vessel MS Hamburg to the Cleveland port of entry last week. Officers and Agricultural specialists were onsite to provide passengers a secure and streamlined arrival process during their first disembarkment at the port.

“CBP is dedicated to ensuring the safety of US citizens and the safety of the traveling public,” said Cleveland Assistant Area Port Director Eugene Matho. “As more international travelers choose to come through the Cleveland port of entry, we have expanded our air and sea traveler technologies through initiatives such as Trusted Traveler Programs, biometrics, and automated forms collections. Our goal is to create a secure, efficient, and straightforward traveling experience.”

The MS Hamburg, a 170-crew luxury vessel, is currently the largest cruise ship in the Great Lakes. Most of its 420 passengers come from Germany to tour the northern Ohio coastline and enjoy the local culture.

This year two other cruise ships, the Victory I and Victory II from Canada, made entry at Cleveland more than a dozen times. In order to facilitate the increased interest in cruise tourism at this location, the Cleveland Seaport Authority is currently working with CBP to build a cruise ship terminal that will enable shorter wait times and enhanced inspection services in a permanent facility.

CBP conducts operations at ports of entry throughout the United States, and regularly screens arriving international passengers and cargo for narcotics, weapons, and other restricted or prohibited products. CBP strives to serve as the premier law enforcement agency enhancing the nation’s safety, security, and prosperity through collaboration, innovation, and integration.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and between official ports of entry. CBP is charged with securing the borders of the United States while enforcing hundreds of laws and facilitating lawful trade and travel.
