River Cruises from Stralsund
The perfect starting point for discovering the Baltic coast
Stralsund is the perfect starting point for exploring the beauty of the Baltic coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and its offshore islands. The historic Hanseatic city is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cities in Germany and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for good reason. Because of its direct bridge connection with Germany's largest island, Stralsund is also known as the "Gateway to the Island of Rügen". However, Rügen is not only the largest island in Germany in terms of surface area, but undoubtedly also the most diverse. Here you will discover magnificent seaside resorts, endless sandy beaches, mythical forests and world-famous chalk cliffs. You are also not far from the island of Usedom and the neighboring Polish island of Wollin on a river cruise from Stralsund. Like Rügen, Usedom scores with its beautiful historic seaside resorts and long sandy beaches. You can also visit the town of Peenemünde with its two technology museums at the northern tip of the island. The island of Wollin, on the other hand, is known above all for its wonderfully unspoiled nature. Stralsund is also a good starting point for discovering other Hanseatic cities on the Baltic coast, such as Wolgast and Szczecin. As former residential towns, both Szczecin and Wolgast can look back on a long history, which is reflected in numerous historic buildings.
City Highlights
Our River Cruise Highlights from Stralsund
With a total of 14 destinations, this 7-night cruise is certainly one of our most eventful itineraries. First, it goes from Stralsund - one of the most beautiful Hanseatic cities in the north - to Vitte on the island of Hiddensee, and then southwest via Wieck on the Darss peninsula in the district of Vorpommern-Rügen back to Stralsund. From there it goes to the other Wieck in the district town of Greifswald. This small fishing village, which originated from a Slavic and Danish settlement, can be traced back as early as 1248. Accordingly, low reed-roofed fishermen's cottages line the narrow village streets.
On the fourth day we continue our journey via Peenemünde, Wolgast and Ueckermünde across the Szczecin Lagoon to Szczecin on the Oder River, where you can use the time until the next day to marvel at the so-called Hakenterrasse - an ensemble of buildings located on the western bank of the Oder River - or the mighty Jakobskathedrale. On the sixth day we continue our course and travel via Lunow, Oderberg and Eberswalde along the Havel to Oranienburg and reach Berlin in the evening, where you disembark the following morning with many unforgettable impressions.

On a river cruise from Stralsund, you have the opportunity to get to know both the scenic beauty of the Baltic coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and to immerse yourself in the history and architecture of the historic Hanseatic towns along the coast. The coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, with its two large islands of Rügen and Usedom, is one of the most popular tourist regions in Germany. And quite rightly so, because there is hardly any other region in Germany where you can experience such a wonderful combination of water and land, history and modernity, nature and culture. The Hanseatic cities of Stralsund, Wolgast and Szczecin will captivate you with their numerous historical sights and offer museum lovers a number of cultural and natural highlights. On Rügen and Usedom, you can stroll along idyllic beach promenades through magnificent seaside resorts and past splendid villas built by noblemen and burghers in the 19th century. Of course, both islands also have numerous scenic highlights to offer: The chalk cliffs on Rügen may be the most famous natural backdrop in north-eastern Germany. However, the sandy beaches of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern are the real highlight of a river cruise from Stralsund. Nowhere else can you spend so many sunny hours on the beach and in the water as here.
A river cruise from Stralsund to Szczecin has something for everyone. Nature lovers will enjoy the beaches and forests of Rügen, Usedom and Wollin as well as the picturesque landscapes along the coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The famous chalk cliffs of Rügen are a natural highlight for everyone anyway. History buffs can spend many interesting hours in the historic old towns of Stralsund, Szczecin and Wolgast. Museum-goers can visit three very exciting museums on a river cruise on the Baltic Sea: the OZEANEUM in Stralsund, the Historical-Technical Museum and the Phänomenta in Peenemünde. And last but not least, sporty and active people get their money's worth on Stralsund cruises. The German Baltic coast is a paradise for sailors and boaters. But walkers, cyclists and inline skaters will also have many wonderful experiences on the many hiking and cycling trails along the coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
