Ports

Rostock, a vibrant city on the Warnow River, is home to one of the world’s oldest universities and rich in history and charm. One of its most picturesque spots is the Neuer Markt (New Market Square), where you’ll find the 13th-century Brick Gothic Town Hall and six beautifully restored gable houses dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries. With many more historical and cultural sights waiting to be discovered, Rostock is the perfect place to explore!

Den Helder is a beautiful town in the Netherlands, situated at the very tip of the North Holland province, regularly hosting the Tall Ships events. Discover the town’s sea connections by visiting the Marinemuseum and Nationaal Reddingmuseum Dorus Rijkers. Take a break and go for a walk in the botanical gardens Oranjerie De Groene Parel Den Helder or admire sea life in the Fort Kijkduin Museum and Aquarium.
