Kiel Canal, Germany Cruises

Kiel Canal, Germany Cruise Port

Kiel, Germany has been a stronghold of naval power since the 19th century. The famous Kiel Canal begins at this Baltic port, where it stretches for 60 miles connecting the Baltic to the North Sea. Not far from here, you will find Hamburg, a historic city that has been restored to its pre-World War II state. The cityscape is different from the normal skyscrapers; it contains many bridges over the canal, tall churches and fascinating museums. The sights can be enjoyed by a bike ride or walking around the small city to view the historic town and scenery. Bikes can even be picked up right at the cruise pier!
