Cap San Diego

Welcome aboard the Cap San Diego in Hamburg – your gateway to a fascinating journey into the maritime history and culture of this vibrant port city. Our proud Lady of the Seas is not just a museum ship, but a living monument to shipping and a place for learning, entertainment and exploration.

The Cap San Diego is a symbol of Hamburg’s rich maritime past. She was commissioned in 1961 and served as a cargo ship on the world’s oceans.
