Please note that parking spaces in the districts of Wieck and Eldena are limited and violations will be penalized; therefore, the use of public transport or alternative parking spaces in the city center of Greifswald with bus connections is recommended.

Several airports are available for a convenient arrival by plane. The nearest airport with scheduled flights is Rostock-Laage (RLG), about 95 to 100 kilometers away, from where you can reach Greifswald-Wieck in approximately one hour by car. As larger international hubs, Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) at about 190 to 260 kilometers away or Hamburg (HAM) at around 270 kilometers away are good options. From Berlin Brandenburg, transfers by train (approx. 2 hours 41 minutes to 3 hours 7 minutes with a transfer) or long-distance bus are possible. For longer flight journeys, we recommend staying overnight in one of the centrally located hotels in Greifswald, such as the Hotel Adler near the station, to start your cruise adventure relaxed.
Check-in & Einschiffung
Please note that you will usually receive a fixed time slot for check-in with your travel documents, which is binding for your embarkation. Plan sufficient time for your journey to the port accordingly and consider that the latest embarkation time - depending on the cruise line and destination - is usually scheduled about one hour before the planned departure.
The same applies during the cruise: For shore excursions, you should be back on board at least one hour before departure. Always pay attention to the current announcements and notices on board, as docking and departure times can change at short notice.
