Seatrade Europe took place in Hamburg last week. The port side venue and host maritime city welcomed over 3,000 attendees from a record-breaking 100 countries and 250-plus exhibitors along with 75 cruiseline brands.
On Friday evening, following a soft opening phase, Cruise Gate Hamburg officially inaugurated Cruise Center HafenCity, its newest city centre facility (see also https://www.cruiseeurope.com/news/news-ce-press-1755766619/).
At the weekend, Hamburg Cruise Days transformed the Port of Hamburg into a grand stage for cruise fans. With a parade of eight cruiseships on the Saturday evening, an illuminated Blue Port Hamburg and a wide-ranging shoreside programme, the event offered a unique maritime experience.
