- Hello everyone!
Sorry for only getting in touch now. The trip on the cargo ship was lovely. We arrived at Eurogate at 7 am on 28 October and then back at CTT at around 10 am. We stayed in Hamburg for one more night after that. On the 16th, we boarded at around 4 pm and cast off the next day at 1.30 pm. We didn’t reach the NOK until the evening and, unfortunately, didn’t see any of it; by the time we were on our return journey, it was already dark again. The first stop in Estonia was...

I just wanted to get in touch again before the holidays – we returned from Cork to Rotterdam around midday on Saturday. The trip was a truly wonderful experience all round – I can wholeheartedly recommend it. The crew and the atmosphere on board were very friendly – we felt welcomed as part of the crew. As expected at this time of year, the seas in the North Atlantic were quite rough and did cause us to jump out of bed once or twice during the...

General: First of all, many thanks to Pfeiffer Agency for the detailed preparations and briefing documents, and to Ms. Pfeiffer and Ms. Weber for fine-tuning the trip. It’s very helpful to know exactly what to expect, what to pack, and, of course, what to look forward to.

- Hello Ms Pfeiffer,
It’s now been a few days since I got back home. This trip was quite different from the others I’ve taken with you. Not only did I have to wait three days before I was allowed on board, but the journey was also a bit shorter. My travelling companion got into trouble with his boss, which is why he disembarked early.
I arrived at the CTB gate early on 9 April. As the officer on duty knew my passport details, we had a good chat about my place of birth. The ship was...
>> more... - Good afternoon, Ms Pfeiffer,
It’s already been almost a week since the trip ended, and I’d just like to send you a brief summary.
There isn’t really much to write about. It was lovely, relaxing and interesting. The captain is a brilliant person; he has a great way with people, which you notice straight away once you board. Whether it was with us or in his dealings with the crew, he responded to all our questions and requests. Our regular visits to the bridge were always welcome,...

Hello dear Frachtschiffreisen Pfeiffer team,
Here is a brief report on our trip from 20 to 30 June.
We boarded on 20 June at the Altenwerder Container Terminal at 2.00 pm. We set sail that night. The next day, we had a wonderful passage through the North Ocean Canal in glorious sunshine, though we did have a near-collision with another container ship.
The pilot said he would have to make a note of it.
In Kiel Holtenau, the harbour was packed with all...
