Kiel is an ancient port city on the Jutland peninsula, overlooking the Baltic Sea’s Kieler Fjord. This MSC Northern Europe Cruises destination is known for its botanical gardens, martime museum, sailing events, and naval memorial.  Further afield, find the lovely town of Lubeck, steeped in medieval beauty. Or venture to Eutin, the ‘City of Roses’, to see its remarkable four-winged castle.

 
MSC Cruises excursions offer plenty of exciting things to see including: 
 
• Eutin 'City of Roses' and its Castle
• Lübeck
• Hamburg
 
Eutin, located in an area of tantalising turquoise lakes, is a peaceful town dating back to the 12th-century. On an MSC Cruises excursion, you’ll stop in the beautiful 'City of Roses' to wander the gardens of Eutin Castle and the streets around the marketplace. 
 
Lübeck is a historical city on the River Trave, known for its glorious Gothic architecture. An MSC Cruises excursion to this UNESCO World Heritage Site will immerse you in its fabled atmosphere. Enjoy a pleasant drive through the German countryside before discovering a wealth of fascinating attractions. Visit the renowned Holsten Gate, St. Mary’s Church, and the Hospital of the Holy Spirit.
 
Hamburg, Germany’s second-largest city, is a leading financial, political and cultural centre. Discover all that this amazing port has to offer on an MSC Cruises excursion. Stop by the 17th-century Krameramtsgasse, visit Baroque St. Michael’s Church, or explore the Speicherstadt warehouse district with its picturesque canals. Then, unwind in Planten un Blomen botanical park, before indugling in a spot of shopping.

    Germany

    On the routes of the Hanseatic League
    On the routes of the Hanseatic League

    Nowadays a holiday to northern Germany will take you to visit a region of bucolic charm.

    Notwithstanding the Land’s capital Kiel, a brusque, working port, it is free of urban development, its gentle Baltic coast notched by fjords, its west coast wind-blown and wild, and everywhere canopied by colour-washed skyscapes that have long captivated many an artist’s imagination. Even Lübeck wears its history lightly. Sure, the one-time city-state has a tale as rich and complex as any plotline by its local son, Thomas Mann. Yet at the core of its appeal is nothing more complicated than one of the most enigmatic old towns in Germany, with a heritage and sense of cultural worth handed down from centuries at the head of the Hanseatic League.

    Once you’ve ticked off the cultural heavyweights of Hamburg and Lübeck, a holiday to Schleswig-Holstein during your MSC Northern Europe cruise – with Schleswig’s fine beaches and marram-grass dunes, candy-striped lighthouses, commercial ports on deep fjords, and changeable weather, and Holstein’s distinctly Nordic feel – will be one of pure natural wonder.
