Kiel

Kiel is a Baltic embarkation port on Germany's north coast, used primarily by ships running seven-night Baltic or Norwegian fjord round-trips. The Ostseekai cruise terminal is a short walk from downtown shopping and the Kiel Maritime Museum. Most turnaround passengers transfer in from Hamburg airport — about 90 minutes by coach or train. The Kiel Canal is a common scenic-cruising segment on repositioning itineraries.
