German ports are often on the Baltic route. Although many use Hamburg as part of a short cruise taster, or a there and back hiatus for ships that do longer and other routes. It allows engineers to board for a few days and deal with maintenance or upgrade matters. Germany is where you often rediscover both Woolworths and C&A.
Germany is part of the EU and the Euro is the currency.
Hamburg had the largest Jewish community in Germany before the second world war. There are many commemorative cobblestones (Stolpersteine). Some buildings preserved from the concentration camp that was based at Neuengamme now serve as a memorial.
In total contrast, there is the Wunderland. The model railway should not be underestimated – and it HAS absolutely HAS to be booked in advance. Do it early, our film shows how to get there. If you are on a tour with it included it will guarantee entry but your time there will be limited by the tour. It is a must, whether you like models or not!
Just up the road is a coffee house and a roasting factory inside. Worth a call, see the film.
It has possibly the best Christmas market on the ocean cruise circuit.

Fed by the German river Eider this is a 98-kilometre-long freshwater canal that saves 250 nautical miles by linking the North Sea at Brunsbüttel to the Baltic Sea at Kiel-Holtenau.
Kiel itself still has a Woolworths and a C&A; see our film. Beer Kellers are fun. The Tall ships festival starts to party just as you have to leave.
Travemünde is a ferry port to Scandinavia, a fishing port that encourages the many seafood restaurants, and a cruise port for the Travemünde Beach in the Bay of Lübeck.
The Fishermen’s harbour is a must. Fish and fish buns. The 4-masted sailing ship Passat is normally open for guided tours. The Alter Leuchtturm lighthouse is now a maritime museum. The building dates back to 1539.
Did you ever sing sea shanties at junior school and was there a song about a German fisherman? That can be relived in Travemunde each June
These ports are on either side of the mouth of the river and almost joined. It is a ship building area, building the LNG engine units for large ships, mainly cruise ships.
