Through the Fehmarn Belt and the Danish archipelago

This sailing trip is framed by two attractive port cities: From the Hanseatic city of Stralsund, we set course for Kiel… along the way, we will take time to explore the Baltic coast between Germany and Denmark. Optional stopovers are possible on the Danish islands of Falster, Lolland, Langeland, or Ærø.
Depending on the wind direction, we have alternative ports to choose from for a shore excursion in Lübeck Bay, Heiligenhafen, or on the island of Fehmarn. If the sea is calm, it will be possible to spend a night at anchor – one of the relaxing highlights of any sailing trip.
This week-long trip alternates between sailing experiences on the Baltic Sea, impressions of nature in sheltered anchorages, and exciting shore excursions.

This is where you board:
The picturesque city center, with its brick Gothic buildings, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Ozeaneum at the harbor sees itself as a love letter to the seas, featuring 45 aquariums, some of them enormous, an underwater journey through the northern seas, life-size replicas of whales, and a penguin enclosure on the rooftop terrace. The modern architecture is reminiscent of sails billowing in the wind. Within sight of the Ozeaneum lies a special maritime monument: the barque Gorch Fock (I), a sister ship of the German Navy's training vessel.

The time-honored tradition of brewing beer is kept alive at the Störtebeker Brewery. Our tip: Round off your shore excursion with a tour of the brewery.

This is where you disembark:
Numerous sights line the Kiel Fjord: from the Naval Memorial in Laboe on the eastern shore, past the imposing Friedrichsort Lighthouse, to Falckenstein Beach and Kiel-Holtenau with its historic Tiessenkai, small cafes, and old warehouses. In Holtenau, on the western shore of the Kiel Fjord, you have the opportunity to observe the constant flow of ships at the locks of the Kiel Canal.
From small sports yachts to ocean liners, vessels of every type and size glide past us during the day on the world's busiest artificial waterway. A short walk to the small Holtenau lighthouse offers a taste of nostalgic harbor atmosphere – old cargo sailing ships and schooners are frequently seen here.
