Gondola ride in an original Venetian gondola on the Alster
The association Azzurro e.V. is a rowing club. We train standing rowing, as it is still practiced today in Venice, Malta and Myanmar. That is why the gondola is usually occupied by athletes. If the weather and time allow, you can board with us and we will show you the most beautiful corners of Hamburg.
Experience the dream of Venice in Hamburg
There is hardly a nicer way to enjoy Hamburg than a wonderfully romantic cruise on the Alster, gently floating along in a real Venetian gondola.
Carlo, the Venice-trained gondolier, will greet you and help you into the boat. Built in Venice, the beautiful old but newly renovated gondola is the most luxurious and elegant way to cruise the Alster.
She can accommodate up to six gondola guests and is opulently furnished with upholstered seats, soft pillows, warm carpets and blankets.
