Ostsee-Rundreise – auf den Spuren der Hanse

Your adventure begins in the picturesque port town of Warnemünde, the harbor of the Hanseatic city of Rostock. MS Nordstjernen awaits you in the idyllic harbor, surrounded by landmarks such as the historic lighthouse and the Teepott building with its distinctive curved architecture. As you board the historic mail ship in the afternoon, you will immediately sense the unique atmosphere of a bygone era. Enjoy the departure along the River Warnow and get ready for the exciting days ahead.

After a panoramic cruise through the spring green Strelasund, the MS Nordstjernen docks in Stralsund. The Hanseatic city shines with magnificent Brick Gothic architecture. The historic Town Hall, St. Nicholas’ Church, and St. Mary’s Church, along with the UNESCO World Heritage Old Town, bear witness to the wealth of past centuries. A modern highlight is the striking Ozeaneum by the harbor.

Today, MS Nordstjernen visits the Danish island of Bornholm. Gudhjem clings to the eastern cliffs of Bornholm, offering dramatic views and timeless traditions. Small galleries, craft shops, and the charming harbor make it an idyllic stop. Bornholm has had a turbulent history due to its central location in the Baltic Sea, with numerous conflicts over dominance and trade rights. Please note: We use tender boats to reach Gudhjem.

Welcome to one of Poland’s most beautiful cities! Gdańsk captivates with its old town, lovingly reconstructed after World War II. Stroll along the famous Long Market, admire the iconic Crane Gate, and experience St. Mary’s Church. The city’s harbor tells stories of trade and the Hanseatic League, which shaped life in the Baltic Sea for centuries. MS Nordstjernen docks at Westerplatte.

The old residence town on the Kalmarsund impresses with its magnificent Renaissance castle, which towers like a fairytale palace by the water. In spring, the castle gardens bloom in vibrant colors. The charming old town with cobbled streets, wooden houses, and the impressive cathedral takes you back to Sweden’s golden era.

On the banks of the Oder, this historic Hanseatic city welcomes us with its imposing Ducal Castle, wide boulevards, and maritime charm. From the water, the impressive skyline unfolds before we explore the historic Old Town with its streets, churches, and squares. Szczecin blends Hanseatic history with modern urban life and invites us to stroll and enjoy.

In the morning, your nostalgic journey aboard MS Nordstjernen comes to an end in the charming coastal town of Warnemünde. Enjoy your last hours on board, soak in the relaxed atmosphere, and look back on the memories of the past days.
