    Port of Kiel or Seehafen Kiel, this is the ferry port for shipping companies such as Color Line, DFDS and Stena Line. Big cruisers also land here: Aida, MSC, MeinSchiff ect.

      The Ostseekai is the former Oslo quay, where today mainly cruise ships dock. The two berths on the Ostseekai are 360 m and 285 m long with a water depth of 9.5 m. The older, fully glazed terminal building at southern berth 27 has two levels, and there is a direct connection to the Ships. Due to the total area of 40,000 m², the terminal facility is specially tailored to accommodate large cruise ships changing voyages. The "Cruise Terminal" Ostseekai is a terminal for a passenger volume of almost 6000 passengers. [1] Since the renovation and expansion in 2007, the larger luxury liners have also been able to dock at the Ostseekai in Kiel.

        The Ostseekai is occupied by cruise ships almost every day in the summer months.

          From here by bike along the Kiellinie to the NOK. Or walk into town.

            There is nothing to add. If the big cruise ships dock here, that's impressive. Although I would not get 10 horses on it.

              The Ostseekai is a harbor quay in Kiel, the state capital of Schleswig-Holstein. It has two berths for passenger ships, located directly on the city center
              on the western side of the Kiel Fjord.
              The Ostseekai is the former Oslo Quay, where cruise ships primarily dock.

              The Ostseekai's two berths are 360 m and 285 m long, respectively, with a continuous water depth of 10 m. The fully glazed terminal building has two levels, with retractable gangways providing direct access to the ships. With a total area of 40,000 m², the terminal facility is specifically tailored to the voyage changes of large cruise ships. Today, the Ostseekai Cruise Terminal is one of the most modern terminals on the German coast, with a passenger volume of almost 6,000 passengers. Since the renovation and expansion of the Baltic Sea port in 2007, even the largest luxury liners can dock at the Ostseekai in Kiel.
              The convenient location in the Kiel Fjord, with direct access to the Kiel Canal and the Baltic Sea, is advantageous. In 2007, 1.3 million passengers were transported by ferry through the Port of Kiel. For more than 150,000 travelers, a cruise began or ended in Kiel. Along with the Norwegenkai and Schwedenkai, the Ostseekai is the hub for trade and ferry traffic with Scandinavia.

              On weekends, the Ostseekai – in addition to its primary purpose as a cruise terminal – is also used as a venue for various events.

              Seehafen Kiel GmbH owns and operates the Kiel Commercial Port on behalf of the state capital of Kiel, which owns it.

              The Ostseekai is regularly visited by major cruise ships.

              For example, the AIDAluna, the AIDAcara, the MSC Poesia, the Costa Pacifica, the Mein Schiff 2, the Astor, and many other cruise ships are regular guests at the Ostseekai in Kiel. The largest cruise ship to dock in Kiel and at the Ostseekai was the Regal Princess on July 10, 2015. On April 29, 2017, the MSC Fantasia, the longest ship to date, docked at the Ostseekai for the first time.

                  From time to time smaller events take place here, e.g. E.g. children's flea market. Due to the space situation but only recommended for the early bird.

                          A lovely place to take a stroll when the weather is good, but it is also very busy. Lots of opportunities to get drinks and snacks.

                            It's lovely to stroll along here and look at the ships. Our cruise on the AIDA cruise ship also started here.
