Baltic Sea

  • Dear Mrs Pfeiffer and Mrs Weber
    Back from Hamburg, I would like to give you my feedback.
    It was a very interesting week I spent on board; captain Z. and the officers were all very open and friendly, so there really was a good atmosphere. I have always felt welcome to go here and there, to ask questions, and able to spend a lot of time on the bridge. As I told the captain, I felt I was 40 years younger as I spent hours on the bridge, just like when I was an officer on merchant ships...

  • Dear captain and crew of the MS “Clipper”,
    we were guests on board of your vessel at the beginning of October 2010. With this letter we would like to express our most sincere thanks for the absolute marvelous time we had on board of your ship. All the crew – from captain to any other crew member – were always very friendly and most helpful. Everybody always had a smile for us when we met.
    The absolute highlight for us was the Karaoke-evening we celebrated...

  • Many thanks again for my latest cargo ship experience which was wonderful.
    I enjoyed the trip on the Gerda, with Captain H. who ensured that I had my best experience to date. Also, a mention to the Chef, who made very tasty meals, also to all the crew, I can’t list all their names, unfortunately, however, all staff combined made my experience so enjoyable and I will definitely try to go on that route again to meet them again.
    I highly recommend this trip!
    You are very...

  • Thank You Capt. B!
    When I said to Capt. B. ‘thank you for the good atmosphere on board’
    He said to me: Well, I didn’t have any stress because the crew made a good job.
    This was what I felt, a peaceful crew, who did their work every day without complaining.
    I liked to watch the Boson splicing a perfect eye into the moorings.

  • 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 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...

  • Good afternoon, Ms Weber,
    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...

  • Hello Ms Pfeiffer.

    First of all, I’d like to thank you – and, of course, your team – for the wonderful experience you’ve all made possible for me.

    My heartfelt thanks for that!

    I’m back in Hamburg after a fantastic week. The ship, the crew, the experiences – simply brilliant… I’ve still got a smile on my face.

    I’d love to do something like this again.

    I think we’ll be in touch again, and until then…

    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.

    I’ve returned feeling very happy, grateful and content.
    What a unique, incredibly wonderful experience this trip was. Everything went perfectly.
    I was very lucky with my fellow passenger. He was so knowledgeable and was able to explain a lot to me.
    It was his second time on board. We got on very well.
    The captain praised us for being good passengers, which made us very happy. It’s not always easy for the crew to be watched so closely and chatted to...

  • 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...

    The MV Gerd arrived to Antwerp, berth 913, on March 1st as expected and we embarked at once, but it restarted only on March 4th in the morning. It was not in our intention, but we used this delay to visit Antwerp. MV Gerd was alongside the quay just next to the cathedral so it was easy. It’s a beautiful and rich city ((the center).

    My travelling companion and I returned to Hamburg on 5 May 26. It was a very special trip, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The crew were very friendly, and the food was delicious and plentiful. We would particularly like to thank the captain, who was available to speak to us almost at any time and gave us plenty of insight into daily life on a cargo ship. We were able to watch the manoeuvres from the bridge, and the shore excursions in Helsingborg and Copenhagen were also...

  • Dear Nina,

    I would like to first thank you for organising the trip for my father. He has now returned to France full of great memories and happy anecdotes.

    Thank you so much for having the patience to help fulfil his dream. I will wholeheartedly recommend your company to anyone interested in cargo trips.

    Thank you so much again for everything

  • 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 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...

  • Thank you very much for an extraordinary trip.
    Dear Ms Hildebrandt Kriatchko, and the team at Frachtschiffreisen Pfeiffer, we were already finalising our reply to you when your enquiry reached us today!
    We would like to thank you most sincerely for our voyage.
    The voyage was an extraordinary experience for us and exceeded our expectations in many ways. The days on board were characterised by an impressive variety of experiences and gave us a fascinating insight into the many facets...

    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...

  • Hello Mrs Pfeiffer,
    I’ve returned feeling very happy, grateful and content.
    What a unique, incredibly wonderful experience this trip was. Everything went perfectly.
    I was very lucky with my fellow passenger. He was so knowledgeable and was able to explain a lot to me.
    It was his second time on board. We got on very well.
    The captain praised us for being good passengers, which made us very happy. It’s not always easy for the crew to be watched so closely and chatted to...

The Baltic

  • 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...
