\nHamburg, 15 Sept 2019 \u2013 The seventh Hamburg Cruise Days 2019 ended on Sunday as they had started: peacefully and joyously. The world\u2019s biggest cruise festival again attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors to the waterfront in Hamburg\u2019s port. This year\u2019s event was characterised by numerous programme highlights on the water and a varied programme on land, glorious late summer weather and a relaxed atmosphere, despite isolated protests by anti-cruise activists.
\nThe organisers Uwe Bergmann and Katja Derow stated: \u201cWe are delighted that this year\u2019s event was again a wonderful, peaceful celebration of cruises. So many cruise fans from around the world came to the city this weekend to enjoy the unique atmosphere in Hamburg\u2019s port.\u201d
\nMichael Otremba, Managing Director of Hamburg Tourismus GmbH, was also highly satisfied with the event: \u201cThe incredible turnout of locals and visitors to the city shows that the combination of art and cruises in the harbour exerts an irresistible fascination. By organising trade events, such as Seatrade or Business Deck, Hamburg has again demonstrated that it is a driving force for sustainability and innovation. The city is engaged in a close dialogue with shipping companies and the industry to promote solutions that have a positive effect on the quality of life in the city.\u201d
\nIsolated protests by anti-cruise activists took place without any disruption to the event. The organisers stated: \u201cWe welcome a critical conversation with the protesters, provided that it is peaceful. In fact, we believe that the Hamburg Cruise Days should be a platform for critical dialogue, because this contributes towards making cruises sustainable.\u201d
\nFor the first time, the organisers invited industry experts to a special trade event which took place concurrently: The Business Deck, which was hosted in conjunction with ISM \u2013 International School of Management and EBC University Hamburg, brought together cruise experts from around the world to engage in a dialogue about the challenges the industry faces. This event, which will now take place regularly at the Hamburg Cruise Days, aims to provide a stage to enable experts to debate current issues in the cruise industry, including controversial and critical topics. The focus of this year\u2019s event was destination management.
\nThe organisers expressed their gratitude to all the many partners, sponsors and authorities involved in hosting an event on this scale. \u201cWe received truly superlative support both before and during the event\u201d, says Uwe Bergmann. \u201cWithout the cooperation of the water police, the Oberhafenamt port authorities and the city\u2019s other authorities, this event would not have been possible. We are also very grateful for the incredible commitment of our premium partner this year, AIDA Cruises. To organise an event of this magnitude and quality takes a truly dedicated team, and we are fortunate to have the support of our sponsors, above all the cruise lines, who make this event truly special with their ships and their presentation on shore.\u201d <\/p>\n

The next Hamburg Cruise Days will take place from 10 – 12 September 2021.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.10.1″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_post_nav in_same_term=”on” prev_text=”%title” next_text=”%title” _builder_version=”3.10.1″ max_width=”80%” module_alignment=”center”][\/et_pb_post_nav][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
