From Riverbanks to the Baltic Sea, Featuring Kiel Sailing Week

This extraordinary river and coastal journey begins in the German capital Berlin, where urban life, history and waterways merge in a unique way. From here, you can glide relaxed along the Havel through a varied landscape of lakes, canals and green banks. In Potsdam, an impressive ensemble of Prussian history, magnificent palaces and extensive parks awaits you, inviting you to discover and linger.

The route continues through tranquil water landscapes to Haldensleben, where the tranquillity of the Mittelland Canal and decelerated travel take center stage. In Calvörde, you will experience the tranquil side of travel away from the big cities, before encountering northern German brick Gothic and a charming old town atmosphere in Uelzen.

A technical and scenic highlight awaits you in Scharnebeck: the impressive ship lift, one of the largest of its kind in Europe, is a fascinating testimony to German engineering. You then reach the picturesque Lauenburg on the Elbe, whose historic half-timbered houses and steep alleyways make up the special charm of this town on the Elbe.

Crossing the majestic Elbe, you finally reach Hamburg, the "Gateway to the World". Here, maritime flair, Hanseatic tradition and a modern metropolis combine to create an incomparable city experience - from the bustling harbor to the elegant Speicherstadt warehouse district.

The crowning finale is Kiel, where your journey ends during the Kiel Week, the largest sailing event in the world. During this time, the city is transformed into a lively festival mile full of international atmosphere, sailing romance and North German joie de vivre. An unforgettable finale that rounds off this trip perfectly - a trip that combines waterways, culture, technology and maritime lifestyle in a particularly harmonious way.
