Kiel is an ancient port city on the Jutland peninsula, overlooking the Baltic Sea’s Kieler Fjord. This MSC Northern Europe Cruises destination is known for its botanical gardens, martime museum, sailing events, and naval memorial.  Further afield, find the lovely town of Lubeck, steeped in medieval beauty. Or venture to Eutin, the ‘City of Roses’, to see its remarkable four-winged castle.
