Fjord ferry: summer timetable brings more frequent crossings of the fjord
With the summer timetable, the fjord ferry runs more often between the piers — a popular means of transport and a small harbour cruise at the same time.
Fjord shipping in Kiel is both local transport and an experience: the ferries connect several piers along the fjord and are integrated into the public-transport fare. With the summer timetable, the fjord ferry once again runs more frequently on the busiest routes. For many passengers, the crossing replaces a detour by land; for visitors, it becomes an inexpensive harbour cruise. Bicycles can be taken on board. The transport operator recommends arriving early at weekends and during the Kieler Woche.
