Cruise highlights 2025: 100 ships rock Bremerhaven!
There has been a significant increase in cruises in Bremerhaven this year. So far, 100 cruise ship calls have already been scheduled, which will take place between January and December 2025. This busy activity brings around 300,000 passengers to the port city, where they can enjoy a variety of experiences. The main shipping companies include TUI Cruises with the popular ships “Mein Schiff 2” and “Mein Schiff 3” as well as Phoenix Reisen, which is represented with flagships such as the “MS Amera”, “MS Amadea”, “MS Artania” and “MS Deutschland”. As the Nordsee Zeitung reports, the cruise ships find space at Columbuskaje, about two kilometers from the city center.
The large number of cruises this year means that Bremerhaven districts often hear the characteristic ship's horn during departures. Anyone interested has the opportunity to follow these events from the visitor gallery at Steubenstrasse 7—on departure days the doors open from 8:00 a.m. until half an hour after the ship leaves. An elevator and stairs provide access. Bremerhaven has a lot to offer both cruise passengers and locals.
