About Cuxhaven
Cuxhaven is a North Sea coastal town at the mouth of the Elbe in Lower Saxony, Germany, where the river opens into the German Bight. It is known for the wooden Kugelbake navigation mark, long sandy beaches with Strandkörbe, and Wadden Sea tidal flats that are part of the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea.
The harbour combines ferry links (including toward Helgoland), fishing and commercial cargo with occasional cruise calls at the historic Steubenhöft passenger berth beside the Hapag halls. Visitors use the waterfront around Alte Liebe and the Seedeich promenade for seafood restaurants and views of Elbe shipping and offshore wind traffic. Check the ship schedule for upcoming calls.
