The ancient town of Olympia was the site of the very first Olympic Games and this tour gives you an opportunity to discover the archaeological remains of this iconic place. Excavated by a team of German archaeologists in the 19^th century, the site offers a unique look at the way these ancient Grecians lived. In line with Greek mythology, the city was constructed by the king of the Greek gods, Zeus. Look forward to seeing the ruins of the Temple of Zeus, the gymnasium, the hippodrome and the stadium, designed to hold up to 40,000 spectators. Next up are the beautiful vineyards of “Magna Grecia”. A welcoming cocktail will be served on your arrival, after which you will be shown how homemade wine and olive oil are produced. A light Greek snack will also be served at the estate before you return to the ship.

This is a panoramic tour of Kiel, the capital of the state of Schleswig-Holstein and a traditional maritime and naval city. During your city tour, you can admire the imposing canal which connects the Northern and Baltic Seas. We will then visit the Laboe Naval Memorial, a monument dedicated to sailor lost at sea during the two world wars. Naval history enthusiasts will be keen to see the U-995 submarine, which served in the German Kriegsmarine from 1943 to 1945, prowling for the North Sea and Arctic for Allied convoys. The memorial also offers a magnificent bird’s eye view of the surrounding landscapes of northern Germany. You will have the chance to enjoy a typical snack local to Kiel and a soft drink.
