Cruise terminal “Ostseekai”

The cruise terminal “Ostseekai” in Kiel Fjord inlet has been extended by a second berth and serves as a starting point for several thousand passengers every year, who wish to spend their holidays on the high seas. The existing and the new terminal building are nevertheless perceived as an ensemble, due to conversion and expansion. Even the largest ships can now dock there. Two luxury liners can be dealt at the same time in one terminal each, emphasising this important economic location in Kiel.
