"Open Ship" - ship tour in Kiel

Trip information

For 114 years, the Sail training ship Eye of the Wind across all the world's oceans. On Thursday, 7 August, the tall ship, which has also been used as a film set in several Hollywood productions, can be visited. As part of a "Open Ship" the regular crew will answer questions from all seafarers, ship lovers and young sea dogs about the ship and its history. Collectors will of course also receive a neat ship stamp.

 

The "open-ship" is expected to take place at the Tiessenkai berth in Kiel-Holtenau. Subject to change at short notice.


Admission is free.

 

This is where you board

Kiel

Experience the impressive Kiel Canal with a view of the locks and enjoy walks by the water. Discover the lighthouse monument where Kaiser Wilhelm II once opened the canal. Relax in the café with a view of the passing ships.

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.
