PLANTOURS Cruises is one of the most experienced operators for ocean and river cruises. Founded in 1989 and repeatedly awarded for outstanding routing beyond mass tourism at sea, the Bremen-based company very successfully operates the MS “Hamburg”, Germany’s smallest cruise ship. After many special experiences at sea, the HAMBURG will shine in a new light from early summer 2020 following extensive refurbishment and modernization.
Due to its dimensions, the MS “Hamburg” is the only cruise ship on the German market that can sail the Great Lakes in Canada/USA. Cruises to Greenland, the fjords of Chile and Antarctica are in equally high demand. These worldwide cruises with expedition character of the MS “Hamburg” are complemented by a steadily growing range of river cruises in Germany and many European countries. From spring 2020, the “Lady Diletta” (4-star-plus), the first river cruise ship built on behalf of PLANTOURS Cruises, will expand the modern fleet.
