Sülfeld (Wolfsburg) is not a classic ocean cruise port, but rather an important mooring point for river cruises on the Mittelland Canal. Thanks to its good connection to the transport network, this starting or ending point of river journeys is easily accessible from the entire DACH region.
Car
The journey to Sülfeld (Wolfsburg) is excellent via the A2 motorway (Hannover-Berlin) as well as the A39 in the direction of Wolfsburg. For guests arriving with their own vehicle, a visitor car park is available directly at the Sülfeld lock, which can often be used free of charge. This ensures your vehicle is safely parked during your river cruise.
Train
Wolfsburg Main Station (WOB) is a central hub in the German rail network and offers numerous ICE and IC direct connections from major cities such as Berlin, Hannover, or Braunschweig. From Wolfsburg Main Station or the Central Bus Station (ZOB), you can then easily reach Sülfeld in around 30 minutes using local bus lines, such as line 203 or 261.
Airplane
For a convenient arrival by flight, Hannover Airport (HAJ) is an ideal choice, ensuring good accessibility as an international airport. Braunschweig-Wolfsburg Airport (BWE) primarily serves factory and research flights and is not intended for commercial passengers. The distance from Hannover Airport to Wolfsburg is approximately 74 to 93 kilometers. From Hannover Airport, you can usually reach Wolfsburg Main Station by train in about 56 minutes to 1 hour and 9 minutes, often with one change. A taxi ride or private transfer to the Wolfsburg area takes about 54 to 59 minutes. From there, good bus connections to Sülfeld are available.
Check-in & Embarkation
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 the journey to the port accordingly and take into account that the latest embarkation time - depending on the cruise line and destination area - is usually scheduled about one hour before the planned departure.
The same applies during the journey: for shore excursions, you should be back on board no later than one hour before departure. Always pay attention to the current announcements and the notices on board, as mooring and departure times can change at short notice.
