Far more than the projected 250,000 visitors flocked to the event; even outside the event site on both sides of the Elbe River, tens of thousands more came to share the enjoyment of the Hamburg Cruise Days and the event\u2019s spectacular highlights \u2013 the Rhapsody in Blue and the Grand Hamburg Cruise Days Parade.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The passion for cruises remains as strong as ever <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The incredible popularity of the event shows that cruises are a true asset for Hamburg as a destination.
