Firstly, there are many other guidebooks available as well as visitor info websites for pretty much any town you might visit as a tourist. Rough Guide and Lonely Planet guidebooks are both excellent.
For Hamburg, given that your group is a mix of adults and children, I’d suggest that one absolutely don’t miss attraction is Miniatur Wunderland. I have no interest in model trains and yet I was absolutely entranced and spent several hours there. https://www.miniatur-wunderland.com
It’s not clear what your other ports are but perhaps it would make sense to post in the appropriate country forum for each one.

Wunderland is indeed great
Maybe a harbour tour, or a walk around Speicherstadt. The free botanical garden is nice too. Plan for a long lunch though as Hamburg only has so much to give

ToursByLocals.com has tours specific to cruise ships. On the banner, the link is on the right. Even if you don’t use them, one of the tour descriptions could give you ideas.
