Columbus Cruise Center Bremerhaven (CCCB) hosted all four of German operator Phoenix Reisen’s ocean cruise ships on 31 July.

Flagship Amadea was first to arrive at 6:30am, followed by Albatros, Artania and Deutschland. All four berthed in at one quay and a total of 6,400 passengers arrived or departed the terminal.

Passengers were welcomed by performers on stilts and offered fish snacks and smoothies. Their evening departure was accompanied by a marching band on the quayside, as well as three gun salutes for each vessel.

CCCB has already recorded a 35% increase in passenger numbers in 2016 and expects this figure to rise considerably in 2017 and 2018.
