Ostpreußenkai

The berth right on the Vorderreihe: when a cruise ship calls at Travemünde, it moors here – in the middle of town, two minutes from the harbourside ice cream.

Few Baltic resorts bring their cruise ships this close: at Ostpreußenkai the ship lies right on the promenade and guests step straight into town. For everyone else it works in reverse – a call day turns the Vorderreihe into a close-up ship viewing.

Between calls the quay is simply the town centre’s best water view: ferries, fishing boats and the Passat across the Trave.

Local tip: Evening departure is the moment: ship, low sun and the whole Vorderreihe waving – grab a spot on the Priwall side.
