The Port of Strasbourg handles no less than 380,000 containers and over 8 million tonnes of goods every year. With almost 1,400 ports of call, ships come and go, connecting Strasbourg to the rest of the world. Local companies employ over 10,000 people directly and generate up to 27,000 indirect jobs. This activity boosts the local economy and strengthens Alsace’s position on the national and international scenes.
During this 2-hour cruise on a tour boat, covered or uncovered depending on the season, you’ll leave the city center to explore little-known areas. You’ll discover the fascinating origins of the port. You’ll also learn why the port’s geographical position is so strategic to French and European trade.

You’ll pass through neighborhoods like Starlette and Coop, and discover companies such as CroisiEurope, Blue Paper, Derichebourg and Moulins Advens.
