Description
Enjoy a summer evening at its most beautiful. In the afternoon, the world's largest operational museum cargo ship departs from Hamburg and sails downstream the Elbe towards the evening and the setting sun. Feel the special sense of departure as you leave the Hamburg harbor and indulge in the beautiful idea of setting out on a grand voyage. After all, the journeys of the CAP SAN DIEGO to South America also began in Hamburg.
Those who want to experience the special atmosphere at the heart of the ship can visit the impressive engine room during the cruise. Let yourself be carried away by the powerful rhythm of the historic main engine and experience up close the place where the mighty heart of the CAP SAN DIEGO beats. Experience ship technology live:
Throughout the entire cruise, the Cap San Diego can be visited at all stations, and every maneuver can be experienced firsthand in the engine room as well as on the bridge. Our volunteer crew is available for all questions and always up for a maritime chat. A very special experience awaits you in the impressive engine room: during the cruise, you can see the fascinating technology in operation live.
