Hamburg
Baltics Cruise to Hamburg and it's Stricking Buidings, Both Old and New - Germany
Hamburg lies 70 miles inland from Travemünde on the banks of the Elbe River. Founded over 1,000 years ago, this one-time Hanseatic League port has emerged from superb post-war restoration to become a prosperous celebration of a proud civic spirit, of striking architecture both modern and ancient, of an epic history and splendid art, of cosmopolitan shopping, dining and nightlife. Its two Alster lakes, hundred of canals and spacious parks, the grandeur of its church steeples and great City Hall belfry, its sense of energy and confidence – all contribute to the subtle appeal of the imposing city.
Kiel Canal

Rugen Island
Cruise to Rugen Island and Charming Sassnitz - Germany
The beautiful scenery of Rugen Island, and the charm of the harbour city of Sassnitz. Situated terrace like in a valley, Sassnitz offers the charm and liveliness of the only harbour city on the island of Rugen. Due to its south-eastern location, there is a certain holiday atmosphere in Sassnitz, with its harbour, fronted with bars and pubs
Travemunde
Cruise to Travemunde, Gateway to One of Germany's Most Fascinating Cities, Hamburg
The German Cruise Port of Travemunde is an attractive beach resort set against a backdrop of dense pine forests. On the banks of the Elbe River, the once-Hanseatic League Hamburg is intriguing because of the contrast between its legendary louche nightlife centred around the notorious Reeperbahn and its more sober side reflected in the impressive array of historical buildings and cultural centres. The 19th century neo-Renaissance-style Rathaus (town hall) with its tall clock tower, the Bismarck monument, 12th century St Petri Church and 17th century Lutheran St Michaelis are among many sights worth seeking out while a suitably ultra-modern building houses the contemporary art wing of one of the world's finest art museums, the Kunsthalle. Some of the best bars and restaurants are around the port area.
Warnemunde
Cruise Through Living Medieval History of Warnemunde - Germany
Cruise to the popular German seaside resort of Warnemunde your gateway to all things Hanseatic, which means a fascinating tour through living medieval history. Nearby Rostock still emanates some of its former glories as a major Hanseatic city. Its pedestrianised old town is full of narrow atmospheric streets, cutting between impressive centuries-old buildings. City Hall, in the New Market Place, is particularly impressive, but the 15th century St. Marien Church, with its astronomical clock, is Rostocks true focal point. From Warnemunde-Rostock, the magnificent 700-year-old brick cathedral of Bad Doberan is only 10 miles away. Railway buffs will love the antique railway that runs from there to the beach resort of Heiligendamm, which is 30 minutes steaming away – through landscapes of charming villages, coastal scenes and the beautiful Doberan Linden Alley.
