This crossing from Eckernförde takes us via the Kiel Canal, with a possible stopover on the Elbe and/or Helgoland, to Hamburg, where the Hamburger Hafengeburtstag takes place a few days later.

Our crew will welcome you on 30 April from 18:00 and welcome you on board. Before we depart the next day, the captain will give a brief explanation of the upcoming voyage.

We sail along the German coast to Kiel, or possibly make a side trip to the Danish South Sea. In Kiel, we pass through the lock to the Kiel Canal. The passage to Brunsbüttel takes about 8 hours. In Brunsbüttel, we lock out again and start the second part of the voyage, with a stopover on Helgoland, an anchorage on the Elbe or in Glückstadt, depending on the wishes of our fellow travellers and the weather. On 5 May, we will reach Hamburg with rising tide, where this trip ends.

We adjust the itinerary to current weather conditions so that we can sail at least 3 out of 5 days.

Frequently asked questions

We still handle bookings personally and therefore do not have an automated booking system. This allows us to offer you the option to reserve individual spots without obligation for a few days. This way, for example, you can arrange your vacation without anyone snatching your spot right under your nose. For this reason, we are unable to keep track of the exact number of available spots on a daily basis. However, we regularly check the availability of our sailing holidays. Therefore, you can generally assume that there are still enough available spots on all trips that are not marked as “fully booked” or “Last Minute.” Call us or use our booking form if you want to know the exact number of available spots.

If you are travelling alone and have not booked a private cabin, you will be accommodated in a shared cabin. The shared cabins are usually assigned based on gender.

Exceptions:

  • On the Belle Amie and the Seatrips yachts, there are sometimes mixed-gender cabins as well.
  • On the Sir Robert, there are no shared cabins. Are you traveling alone? Then you must book a single cabin..

Yes, vegetarians and allergies/intolerances can be catered for on most ships. On some ships, the menu can also be adapted for vegans. However, there is only one menu per day on the programme. Therefore, please let us know during your booking if you have any special dietary requirements.

In principle, all our trips are suitable for both experienced and novice sailors. The professional crew on board will teach you everything you need to know. In some cases (e.g. on Atlantic crossings) initial sailing experience may be an advantage/requirement. In this case, this will be clearly indicated in the cruise description.
