Eye of the Wind:
Kiel (DE) - Kiel (DE)

19 May - 22 May 2016

During this Journey you will experience what the adventure of seafaring is all about. On board you will enjoy the comfort of the ship and the delicious food of the galley. Eye of the Wind is a genuine traditional seamanship. You will see how you feel during an evening ashore after a day at sea. You will visit two countries, Germany and Denmark, and discover the Baltic Sea. The Journey has a well-balanced ratio between time at sea and time in port.

Ports

Kiel is a German port town on the Baltic coast, widely known for its yearly ‘Kiel week’ – the biggest yearly regatta in the world! Many thousands of boats and ships of all kinds and eras take part in the parade. Kiel Week is also a festival, Volksfest and fair as well as a maritime event. But Kiel offers more: a slew of museums (zoological, geological, historical, fine art, industrial, and military museums), a city centre with relaxed atmosphere, and the water and shores of the Kieler Fjord.
