Hamburg Cruise Days 2017: Spectacular Parade of Cruise Liners Attracted 250,000 to City’s Waterfront
Hamburg / Los Angeles (PRWEB) September 10, 2017 -- Following a slightly rainy start to the event on Friday, September 8, the weather picked up on the second day of the Hamburg Cruise Days 2017 – attracting some 250,000 visitors to the Port of Hamburg. Highlight of the Cruise Days, the world’s largest cruise event, was the Grand Hamburg Cruise Days Parade – the biggest in the event’s history.
Bathed in very welcome sunshine and an atmospheric waterside ambiance, visitors watched the gigantic ships manoeuver to get into position for the Grand Parade. At 9:15 pm, the formation was complete. Escorted by barges, sailing vessels and passenger ships, the AIDAprima, Norwegian Jade, EUROPA 2, EUROPA and MSC Preziosa majestically sailed down the Elbe against the backdrop of the illuminated Blue Port Hamburg. Each ship was waved off on its journey with its own firework display and rousing music.
Taking place for the sixth time, the event highlights Hamburg’s reputation as the world's top destination for maritime entertainment and cruise events. Ending on Sunday night, September 10, the city will have welcomed an estimated 500,000 visitors at the Cruise Days.
