"My recommendation: skip Lübeck and enjoy the enchantments of Kiel instead. Much more relaxed than a ship excursion."

Arriving by ferry from Sweden or Norway?

Stena Line (from Gothenburg) and Color Line (from Oslo) dock daily in Kiel during the season. If you're spending time in Kiel between sailings, the audio tour is a good way to make the most of a few hours in the city - and the Laboe submarine is worth the trip if you have longer.

Explore Kiel - $11.99 Laboe & U-995 - $9.99

Ferry terminals are separate from the Ostseekai cruise terminal - the audio tour starting point is about 15–20 minutes walk from the ferry docks, or a short taxi ride.

Schedule data sourced from CruiseDig and CruiseTimetables. Always confirm timing with your cruise line - times can change. The Port of Kiel publishes the official schedule.
