Very relaxing day cruising along the canal and enjoying all the sights on the banks. Read Less

Picked up from airport by MSC and brought by coach. Embarkation was a nightmare though - queuing up for nearly 3 hours in the sun is not the best way to start a cruise Read Less

Stayed in Kiel 4 nights before the cruise - a pleasant surprise Read Less

The port of call Kiel is not convenient for international traveller because we have the take so many buses and shuttle to get to the ship. To simplify the process the future customer might take the MSC shuttle taking you from Hamburg airport to the ship with a charge Read Less

It would have been better if we had had a commentary. It was quite a pleasant sail in. Read Less

We took a cruise ship bus tour to Lubeck (center of the Hanseatic League). Much of the old town has been modernized. The Marzipan candies and cakes are good! Read Less

Easy to navigate great places to see Read Less

My husband and I got off the ship and walked around. There wasn’t much to do other than shop. Maybe because it rained when we were there. They have a huge mall nearby. We super enjoyed the Kieler Brewery though. Read Less

Walked into town only - didn't wish to spend 1.5 hours traveling to Hamburg. Shopped and enjoyed the scenery. Read Less

We walked off the ship and were in the centre of Kiel - 300m. Nice town but not much to do except walk and admire the buildings. Read Less

Did the our of the micro breweries. Great Read Less

We walked to the old part of town and ate at the brewery. Excellent. Recommend the bratwurst with mashed potatoes, and saukerkraut. Read Less

walked into the city, a lovely place, although not that much there so didn't really spend much time there. Read Less

The port is excellent but the MSC service is disastrous Read Less

took the HAL Bus to Lubeck-pricey but the only convenient time option, Highly recommend Lubeck for an old German Town with beautiful architecture and easy to walk around on your own Read Less

Nothing of note to see here as far as I know. Read Less

A very interesting cruise along the canal Read Less

The ship docked at the Boardwalk and Marina. You can have a very nice walking visit on your own on the boardwalk and the city center at 30 minutes walking distance. Read Less

Don't be fooled. KIEL ISN'T ANYWHERE NEAR HAMBURG! We wanted to visit the Miniatur Museum in Hamburg, and needed to rent a car to get there. We've driven often on German autobahns, so weren't intimidated by the drive. But billing Kiel as "Hamburg" is very incorrect. So jammed up was the autobahn traffic there were several organized tour buses that were late to the ship by almost two hours! Read Less

Beautiful town very close to where my ancestors came from. Read Less

We didn't really get a chance to see much of the city, and the tour bus raced through areas that might have been interesting. Our ride out into the country gave us a nice look at surrounding farmland. Read Less

Bus tour to a seafarer's memorial and a U-boat was interesting. Read Less

We simply walked around the town centre. Read Less

Enjoyed going to the monument and submarine Read Less

Interesting guide, good pictures. Read Less
