Tall Ship Taster Trip: through the scenic Kiel Canal

Join the Eye of the Wind's crew on a sailing trip between Hamburg and Kiel – right through the middle of Schleswig-Holstein. First, we will explore the territory of the Lower Elbe. On the Kiel Canal, we pass under ten high bridges and will experience the endless shipping traffic of container ships, cruise liners, pleasure boats and ferries on the world's busiest artificial waterway. At the end of the trip, we will set sail towards the Kiel Fjord.

This trip is characterized by a well-balanced ratio of voyage time, shore leave, anchoring, and sailing at sea. As a "taster trip" in coastal waters it is ideal for beginners, too.
