DCL-Disney Cruise Line has announced that for the 2024 cruise season, it will include Hamburg (Germany) in its itinerary.

Representatives from Cruise Gate Hamburg (CGH), including Simone Maraschi and Iris Scheel, attended the Seatrade Cruise Global event in Florida, the biggest trade fair for the cruise industry. At the event, they met with Disney Cruise Line executives and other cruise companies to discuss possibilities for sailing to the Port of Hamburg. Hamburg was well-represented at the Seatrade Cruise Global event, and attendees included Jens Meier, CEO of Hamburg Port Authority AoR, and Michael Otremba, Managing Director of Hamburg Tourismus GmbH. They jointly promoted Hamburg as a destination and highlighted its strong position as a cruise hub.
