Experience popular travel destinations individually with Hansa Touristik
Hansa Touristik wants to offer its guests something special on every cruise.

Due to their smaller size, the "Hansa Touristik cruise ships" also have access to destinations that are not affected by mass tourism.
A typical Hansa Touristik cruise also includes longer mooring times at the ports. This gives ship guests more time for detailed visits to get to know the culture and nature of the destinations they are heading for. The visits also take place in smaller groups and are therefore particularly relaxed.

As a special service, Hansa Touristik provides a special brochure for the respective cruises, which provides detailed information about all planned shore excursions and explains the respective sightseeing program. It also contains useful information on thematically guided tours, on the duration and level of effort, as well as on all services included. In addition, there are interesting specialist lectures about the respective destinations aboard the cruise ships, which are later explored on land during lecture excursions in small groups.
The Hansa tourist experience program includes, among other things, leisure city tours or extensive panoramic sightseeing tours. The culinary excursions are particularly popular: travelers can try regional specialties and get to know the typical regional cuisine. Active tourists will also get their money's worth on a river cruise with Hansa Touristik: thanks to the all-day adventure excursions, they will discover special natural beauties or cultural sights that are a little further away from the harbor.
All excursions take place in small groups with a German-speaking travel guide, so visitors can learn a lot of interesting things about the country's culture and regional specialties.
