Alexander von Humboldt, Floating restaurant in Bremen, Germany
The Alexander von Humboldt is a green-hulled sailing cargo ship permanently anchored at the Schlachte waterfront in Bremen that operates as a restaurant. The vessel serves meals on deck and contains cabins for overnight stays.
The ship was built in 1906 at the AG Weser shipyard in Bremerhaven as a cargo vessel named Sonderburg. Following transformation into a sail training ship in the 1980s, it later became a restaurant.
The restaurant serves rotating menus that feature northern German specialties and seasonal ingredients. Diners experience regional cooking traditions while eating aboard an actual ship.
The restaurant operates Wednesday through Sunday and provides seating on the upper deck with river views. Guests should be prepared for narrow staircases and low ceilings when moving through the vessel.
The ship still retains its original rigging and numerous maritime features from its time as a cargo vessel. These authentic details make every visit a window into the history of ocean commerce.
