johnami Posted May 6, 2009 #1 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Can anyone suggest another excursion, other than Berlin, for the stop in Warnemunde? Would appreciate some ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailorJack Posted May 6, 2009 #2 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Can anyone suggest another excursion, other than Berlin, for the stop in Warnemunde? Would appreciate some ideas. There are at least a dozen boats in Warnemunde's harbor that offer sightseeing trips to Rostok. They serve food and beverages and I think the tours take about 2 hours. Thre price was fairly reasonable (as I recall), and if the weather is nice it is quite enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpdad Posted May 6, 2009 #3 Share Posted May 6, 2009 You can also visit tripadvisor.com (an affiliate of cruisecritic) and search for Warnemunde. I found a number of options posted there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almagetty Posted May 7, 2009 #4 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Check over on the Northern Europe boards in the Ports of Call section. A poster named HeinBloed has some really great ideas for self guided tours by train or by rental car to the nearby towns of Lubeck, Schwerin, Wismar and others. We're planning to follow his suggestions for a rental car when we're there next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnac767 Posted May 7, 2009 #5 Share Posted May 7, 2009 We did the ship's excursion into Rostock and really enjoyed it. It included a walking tour of the city and finished with a tour of the Rostocker Brewery (which included several free samples of beer :)). Very good beer, I might add. We were back at the ship with plenty of time to wander around Warnemunde, including a great lunch at the Twee (yes, the Twee). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennett'sCruise Posted May 7, 2009 #6 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Last year we did the Schwerin tour. It was incredible! Got us out on the autoban thru some beautiful countryside that used to be East Germany. For those of us who had grown up in the 40's and 50's that was very surreal. Our guide was a young woman who had grown up in Schwerin and knew so much about the area, the history, etc. This tour included a short boat ride ... approaching the castle at Schwerin from the water. Wow ... very nice! We got back to Warnemunde in plenty of time to take a nice stroll around that small, quaint town. Found a vendor and bought a couple of brats. Yummy. Enjoy your Baltic cruise!

They may have been brats when you bought them, but I am willing to bet they are well mannered and polite now;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
