Comments

On this voyage, passengers can board or disembark either in Hull or Amsterdam; there is also the option to book a one-way trip to Västerås.

The Kiel Canal is often, but not always, traversed.

The cruise through the archipelago, the lock passages with centimeter-precise maneuvering, and the several-hour journey across Lake Mälaren to Västeras are just a few of the many highlights of this very popular tour.

Older but well-maintained ships from a German shipping company, some of which were built at the historic Sietas shipyard in Hamburg.

An ETA is required to enter the United Kingdom; it can be applied for via gov.uk or the corresponding app.
