Cast off! Discover the maritime heart of Kiel
Harbour tour
Feel the freedom on the fjord and let your gaze wander over 100 years of shipyard history. On our harbour tour, we combine tradition with modernity: from the hustle and bustle of the shipyards to the eventful naval history of Laboe. Our captains will take you on a journey that is as educational as it is entertaining. Whether you’re a landlubber or a sea dog – this perspective on Kiel will delight you!
The harbour tour runs from May to the end of September – but you can book it now.

"And I appreciate the immediate proximity to the sea, the ferry steamers that zigzag between individual parts of the city and catapult you away like a holiday in no time at all."
Arne Rautenberg (Author)
Ferry trip to Laboe
Your excursion starts with the ferry ride to Laboe. On the 87-meter-high Naval Memorial you will not only have a fascinating view over the beautiful coastal landscape, but also get a hands-on history lesson. On the beach, you can experience how the crew lived and worked in a very confined space in the U995 submarine from 1943.
All aboard, please
Let`s go on a harbour tour
Seagulls circle and screech, the wind ruffles hair, and every now and then the muffled horn of the "Schilksee" sounds when a sailboat strays into its channel. On the ferry trip, there is not only a lot to see, but also a lot to learn. The captain himself tells his guests the history of each lighthouse, pier, building and harbor.
