This crossing from Kappeln on the Schlei 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.

Frequently asked questions

We still handle your bookings personally and therefore do not have an automatic booking system. This way, we can enable you to reserve individual places for a few days without any obligation. This allows you, for example, to arrange your holiday without someone stealing your place from under your nose. For this reason, we cannot keep track of the exact number of free places on a daily basis. However, we regularly check the availability of our sailing holidays. Therefore, you can generally assume that plenty of free places are still available 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 places available.

If you are travelling alone and have not booked a private cabin, you will be accommodated in a shared cabin. Shared cabins are normally divided by gender. Only on the Belle Amie and Seatrips Yachts do they sometimes have mixed cabins.

Yes, vegetarians and allergies/intolerances can be catered for on most ships. 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.
