hrhdhd Posted May 6, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Thanks to nordski :), I am now thinking of booking the Aug. 7 Quest cruise from Hamburg to Southampton. Can someone tell me about the logistics of boarding the ship in Hamburg? Where does the ship dock? Actually in Hamburg or on the outskirts somewhere? Can a single traveler who overpacks manage the trip from a Hamburg hotel? Info appreciated. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrhdhd Posted May 6, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Thanks for the reference, and wish I could provide advice. Looks like a great cruise! Yeah, I told you not before May 2015, but this one will work perfectly with my August break. And with the "sale" and the 125% single supplement, what's not to love? Bill L., I shall keep my eyes peeled for your next post. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waswo Posted December 20, 2013 #7 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Can anyone tell me where the 2014 June 14 Journey will leave from? And what time of day shall we be prepared to embark? I ask because we are trying to plan our time in Hamburg. Thank you! "Hamburg has two principal cruise ship terminals, both under construction, with further development planned. The upriver berth is at HafenCity, a rapidly developing residential, office building, cultural and entertainment district cleared of former industrial buildings and commercial docks. It is located to the south of the city center, behind the rebuilt Victorian brick warehouse buildings destroyed during World War II, which now house museums, restaurants and offices. The all-new Hamburg Cruise Center's Altona terminal opened in 2011. It's located a half-mile downriver from the Landungsbrucken (a long, floating pontoon landing), where the historic ships are berthed and where cruise ships used to dock."

Xport Posted December 20, 2013 #8 Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) Can anyone tell me where the 2014 June 14 Journey will leave from? And what time of day shall we be prepared to embark? I ask because we are trying to plan our time in Hamburg. Thank you! They post information relative to all of their embarkation ports--including Hamburg--here... http://www.azamaraclubcruises.com/plan-your-voyage/after-booking/helpful-information/directions-embarkation-ports When you do Online Check-In for your cruise, you will be provided with a suggested boarding time... That said, it's generally during the afternoon of embarkation day and--if the ship is not overnighting at Hamburg as part of your itinerary--several hours prior to sail-away...

taxjam Posted December 20, 2013 #9 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Re Hamburg Port, We did an Azamara cruise that embarked from Hamburg this year. The taxi from the Marriott or Renaissance (they are withing a block of each other) to the cruise terminal was nominal. 10 or 15 Euros and about a 10 minute ride. There are even closer hotels.
