What was even more fantastic was just how satisfied they were with the event, as the results of a visitor survey reveal.

On average, visitors spent between six and seven hours at the event. One third were repeat visitors who had been to the Hamburg Cruise Days two or multiple times; for 66 per cent it was their first time.<\/p>\n<p>The event also succeeded in its aim of attracting visitors who are interested in cruises and stimulating their desire to take a cruise: 42 per cent of visitors have been on one or several cruises, and for 34 per cent the event increased their willingness to go on a cruise at some point in the future. The proportion of international visitors also went up, with seven per cent of visitors coming from abroad. Thirty-three per cent of the German visitors were from Hamburg.<br \/>\nFor the majority of visitors, the Hamburg Cruise Days are not just a captivating spectacle but also a great opportunity to find out more about cruises and services offered by the cruise companies. With a varied programme along the waterfront, visitors had a superb choice of first-rate entertainment, shopping, food and drink, and a wealth of impressions from the world of cruises and life on board a cruise liner.<\/p>\n<p>Quite apart from the event\u2019s impact, the visitors also discovered the city\u2019s many charms: 72 per cent of visitors from outside the city booked accommodation in Hamburg, staying an average of 2.4 days. They ate in restaurants, visited the city\u2019s sights, including the Elbphilharmonie, went on harbour cruises, excursions, visited museums, musicals or theatres and they went shopping. On average, visitors spent \u20ac294 over the event weekend, not including expenditure at the event itself!<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.10.1&#8243; width_unit=&#8221;off&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243;][et_pb_post_nav _builder_version=&#8221;3.10.1&#8243; next_text=&#8221;%title&#8221; in_same_term=&#8221;on&#8221; prev_text=&#8221;%title&#8221; max_width=&#8221;80%&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Around 500,000 visitors came to the waterfront in Hamburg to celebrate the Hamburg Cruise Days.
