World-class sailing combined with a big civic festival: the "capital of sailing" Kiel is the starting port for the Ocean Race Europe. On this evening trip we are right in the centre of the atmosphere of this major event. On board the two-master Eye of the Wind you will enjoy Relaxing hours at sea and a delicious dinner in a maritime ambience. After a welcome drink, the motto is "Cast off!" for a cosy evening cruise along the most beautiful places between the lighthouse and the Kiellinie. At the end of the cruise, you will spend the night in a comfortably equipped cabin and enjoy a delicious breakfast the next morning in the middle of the awakening harbour scene.

Ocean Race Europe: Evening cruise with overnight stay
Trip information
This is where you board
In Holtenau, on the western shore of the Kiel Fjord, the Tiessenkai complex is a maritime attraction and focal point. Here you have the opportunity to watch the varied comings and goings in front of the locks of the Kiel Canal. From small sports yachts to ocean giants, watercraft of all types and sizes pass by us during the day on the world's busiest artificial waterway. On a walk to the small Holtenau lighthouse, you can soak up the nostalgic harbour atmosphere – old cargo sailors and schooners are often moored here at the quay.
Make the most of your stay by exploring the Kiel Fjord, spending a day at Falckenstein beach or taking a trip into the world of sailing at the Olympic harbour in Schilksee or the marina in Strande.
