Olsen Cruise Lines, coming from Hamburg, passed the Kiel Canal with the destination cruise terminal Ostseekai Kiel.  As one of the first cruise ships in 2023, the Balmoral has around 1,000 mainly British cruise guests on board, who will now visit the city on the fjord in mid-April or, of course, go on excursions in the surrounding area.<br>\nA passage through the Kiel Canal was also on the agenda for the passengers on their trip from Hamburg to Kiel. A special highlight is of course crossing the locks in Brunsb&uuml;ttel and Kiel.<\/p>\n<p>The passengers now have several hours to explore the city of Kiel. The Balmoral will leave Kiel again at 8 p.m. Next destination is Warnem&uuml;nde. This will be followed by another journey through the Kiel Canal, this time from Kiel to Brunsb&uuml;ttel and further into the North Sea to Bremen.
