55 degrees North – Course Copenhagen From the Kiel Fjord to the Öresund

In Holtenau, on the western shore of the Kiel Fjord, our crew welcomes you aboard. Embarkation takes place at 7 p.m. After a welcome drink, you will get to know your fellow passengers and the friendly crew over dinner.

Passing the green and white Friedrichsort lighthouse, we sailed out towards the Baltic Sea the next morning. On our starboard side, we saw the Laboe Naval Memorial, whose distinctive silhouette is modeled after the conning tower of a submarine.
Right next to it we discover the former submarine U 995, which from this perspective sits particularly impressively on the Laboe beach.
At the level of the island of Fehmarn, we cross the invisible border between German and Danish waters.

After an eventful day under full sail, we set course for the south coast of the Danish island of Lolland.
We find a berth for the night in the small medieval town of Nysted. From here there is a magnificent view over the Fehmarn Belt, the Rødsand offshore wind farm, the old provincial town and Aalholm Castle.

Depending on the progress of the journey, the ferry port of Gedser on the island of Falster or Rødbyhavn, from where car ferries have been operating between Fehmarn and the Danish islands for over 100 years, are our alternatives for the first landing.

The wind and your wishes determine the course.

As a general rule: The captain usually decides which port or anchorage to visit in the evening based on the wind and weather conditions on the same day and – whenever possible – also taking your wishes into account.

Look forward to wonderful sailing days on the crisp, early autumn waters of the Baltic Sea. Weather permitting, we will have the opportunity to spend the night at anchor one evening instead of entering a port – another highlight of any sailing trip.

Active sailing or a more relaxed experience? – The choice is yours!

After a safety and sailing briefing by the ship's crew, you are allowed to actively participate in the onboard operations.
Active participation on deck is always voluntary, under the expert guidance of the crew, and with great enjoyment of teamwork.

Of course, you can simply relax and watch the sailing maneuvers and the traditional seamanship practiced daily. Or make yourself comfortable below deck in the cozy saloon and browse a book from the ship's library.

55 degrees north, 12 degrees east: Copenhagen

After circumnavigating the Falster peninsula and the chalk cliffs of Møns Klint, we change course to the north.
Finally, we reach the Øresund before casting off in Copenhagen, the destination of our journey. In the numerous restaurants and pubs of Nyhavn, you will have another opportunity to exchange stories with your fellow travelers about the experiences of the past few days at sea, or perhaps spin a yarn or two.

We've had a wonderful time on the Baltic Sea, and the crew will remember you fondly. From Copenhagen Airport, you can easily reach many international airports with daily direct flights.
