Reading that the port of Kiel will receive 168 cruise ships this yearSo far these are the stops that have been confirmed. I have realized that I have rarely talked about European ports and destinations, and that I almost always embark on transcontinental cruises. Well, today I will tell you about this German city that was almost completely destroyed by American bombers in 1943, in the middle of World War II, so you will not be able to find very old churches or buildings, since almost all their buildings are new.
But before going back to the city I want to tell you that Little by little, Central European destinations are becoming more affordable and shipping companies find very interesting proposals to offer. beyond the romantic river cruises on the Danube or the Volga, which are already classics.
Last year, 2017, 143 cruise ships arrived at the port of Kiel, were 513.500 tourists who descended to the city. During this season, which begins on April 6, the line AIDA Cruises (focused on the German market) will perform 63 services with 5 boats. The other companies that have also established this stopover in their itineraries are Costa Cruises, TUI Cruises and MSC Cruises, MSC Preziosa will dock in this port for the first time on April 28. Other companies that have joined the port of Kiel this year are Viking Ocean Cruises and the Spanish shipping company Pullmantur Cruises ”.
And now yes, briefly I tell you what you can do the Kiel. As I was telling you before, Kiel is not one of those European capitals with an imposing historic center, but since the 90s, the reconstruction of Eggerstedtstraße street, Dänische Straße, the most representative and traditional promenade of the city, and Holstenstraße, one of the oldest pedestrian areas in Germany. The most interesting is the channel, From my point of view, that you can walk it, navigate it or cycle through it, all the options are formidable.
