Kiel to Hamburg

Cruising on the Zuiderdam late May. Is there any private tour companies that offer tours to Hamburg from Kiel? We will be in port 0800 - 1600.

The cruise terminal in Kiel is next to the railway station. You could take the regional train from Kiel main station to Hamburg main station (runs every hour 8:21, 9:21 and so on). Journey will take 1:16 hrs one way. Back to Kiel from Hamburg 12:43, 13:43 and so on. You could then take the HoHo Bus in Hamburg.

With your limited time in Kiel I would however advice against a tour to Hamburg on that port day.

I would stay in Kiel. Here is their tourism website (in English): https://www.kiel-sailing-city.de/en.html

I recommend the new HoHo Bus tour and a harbour cruise by boat.

If you are interested in rural history you can visit the museum village in Molfsee. Public bus No. 501 takes you to Molfsee (get off at Rammsee and it is a 15 min walk from there to the museum). Busses run every 30 minutes and the trip to Rammsee takes approx. 30 minutes. Information on the museum can be found at the "other places of interest" section of the tourism Kiel website provided earlier.

Thank you so much for the information.Marilyn
