When is the shuttle transfer available?

Our shuttle service runs daily from 07:00 to 18:00. Outside these hours no transfer is possible. There is no fixed timetable – we drive as needed; the approx. 20 minutes are the driving time to the terminal alone.

Where does the shuttle stop at the terminal, and how does the pick-up after the cruise work?

We stop right in the pick-up zone in front of the terminal – that is where you get out on your departure day, and that is where we collect you again after your cruise. You reserve the pick-up time (9 or 11 am) online in advance with your fixed seat reservation. If your journey ends with a flight to Hamburg, we collect you at the airport instead.

How much time do I have on departure day, and when do we set off after arrival?

You can usually board until 17:00; what counts is the check-in window in your travel documents. On the morning of arrival every guest leaves the ship by about 10:00 – please choose your pick-up time accordingly when making your fixed seat reservation.

Do I have to hand over my car key?

No, you keep your car key with you for the whole of your stay with us. When parking, please be considerate of other vehicles and do not leave any valuables in the car. We accept no liability for damage (see terms and conditions).

Do you also carry larger groups?

4 shuttle passengers are included in the parking service. For each additional person we charge €20.00 for the outward and return trip. Additional services such as oversized luggage incur extra charges.
