More about this trip
Extensive explanations about the Kiel Canal on board Abundant brunch and cake buffet during the cruise
Good to know
Did you know that almost three times as many ships travel on the Kiel Canal as on the Panama and Suez Canals? As ship enthusiasts and regular participants in the busy traffic on the Kiel Canal, we enjoy capturing so many ocean giants "on camera"! Join us along the Kiel Canal between Kiel and Hohenhörn, pass through the Holtenau lock, go under a total of 10 high bridges, and experience the bustling activity with container ships, cruise ships, motorboats, and ferries on the world's busiest waterway. All trips are accompanied by commentary from the captain, and on board there is our abundant brunch buffet as well as a delicious cake and pastry buffet in the afternoon.
