A dream factory? Not only in America: Meyer Werft in Papenburg is building the vacation dreams of tomorrow. Even today, visitors to the shipyard's visitor center can experience how the cruise ships of Norwegian Cruise Line and Dream Cruises are built. In the exhibition, original sample cabins can be viewed and otherwise hidden details can be discovered - for example a huge ship's propeller with a diameter of six meters.
Emotional films provide fascinating insights into the world of luxury liners, while the panoramic view of the production hall offers impressive views of the building dock. Here you can experience modern shipbuilding up close. Highly trained guides provide exciting information and background information about the traditional shipyard, the individual ships and the transfer of the ships on the Ems during a guided tour.
A guided tour of the visitor center for groups and individual travelers is only possible by prior arrangement. During the vacations, there are also special family tours with child-friendly explanations and a touch of adventure.

Premium Tour (shuttle from the city center)
Our Premium Tour is like a suite on board a cruise ship: the best of the best. Discover exclusive areas of the otherwise inaccessible shipyard site!
Observe the work at one of the world's most modern shipyards from a completely new perspective. Embarkation is in the heart of Papenburg city center. Our modern shuttle bus will take you to the Meyer Werft shipyard and across the 45-hectare site. Directly between the huge shipyard halls and docks, past ship blocks weighing up to 800 tons. In the midst of the pulsating life of a high-tech company, you can almost look over the shoulders of the shipyard workers and get even closer to the cruise ships of tomorrow. You will be accompanied by a trained tour guide, who will then lead you through the experience exhibition in the visitor center: this not only shows the more than 200-year history of Meyer Werft, but also the innovations of today.
The premium tour shows you more of the traditional Papenburg shipyard than ever before. The journey from the steel plate to the finished ocean liner will be even more impressive for you.
