Upon arrival of your cruise, our assistant will welcome you, identified by the Shore2Shore sign.
We will begin our visit in Rostock, a Hanseatic city with nearly 800 years of history that has managed to preserve much of its old charm. This university and port city, with its vibrant cultural life, is marked by the charm of the sea and the tradition of the Hanseatic League, making it a fascinating destination to explore.
During our tour of Rostock, we will stop at the city’s most important church, St. Mary's Church, famous for its impressive astronomical clock from 1472, which still works to this day.
We will also visit St. Peter's Church, another religious emblem of the city that offers us a glimpse of the region’s Gothic architecture.
We will continue our tour through the historic center, where we can admire the new market, a lively place where the historic Rostock Town Hall is located.
This square also houses the University of Rostock, one of the oldest in Germany, founded in 1419, which still holds great influence in the city and its student atmosphere.
Rostock’s architecture is one of its most attractive features, with a remarkable contrast of styles ranging from Gothic to Renaissance and Baroque. We will see how the facades of the houses in the center reflect these different eras, giving the city a picturesque and history-filled air.
After exploring Rostock, we will head to the charming seaside resort of Warnemünde, a picturesque coastal destination located by the Baltic Sea.
In Warnemünde, we will enjoy its wide white sandy beaches and its promenades that offer spectacular views of the sea.
The fish market is another highlight of Warnemünde, with its colorful fishermen’s houses, rustic restaurants serving local fish delicacies, fishing boats, and romantic sailboats that give the place a picturesque and authentic atmosphere.
We will conclude our visit with a deep feeling of having experienced both the rich history of Rostock and the fresh maritime atmosphere of Warnemünde.
After the excursion, we will return to the port to say goodbye and continue our journey.
