Rostock Warnow Harbour Cruise & Old Town Walking Tour

Glide the Warnow River on a private harbour cruise past Rostock's Hanseatic waterfront, then delve into the 13th-century Old Town on foot — St. Mary's Church, the Neuer Markt, and hidden university quarter included.

What to expect

A scenic 20-minute S-Bahn ride connects Warnemünde to central Rostock, making this entirely self-sufficient. Board a Weisse Flotte vessel at the Stadthafen quay for a 30-minute cruise along the river, camera ready for tugboats, tall ships, and the old crane skyline. Ashore, the medieval Kröpeliner Strasse pedestrian boulevard leads you to the soaring 14th-century Marienkirche, home to a working astronomical clock with a 100-year calendar. Café stops in the university quarter round out a leisurely morning.
