Which cruise ships call at Kiel next?

The next cruise ship calls at Kiel begin on 3 October 2026. Each row is one ship on one day, with arrival and departure times where the cruise line publishes them. An "est." mark flags a day placed by sailing distance rather than taken from the line's own itinerary, so treat it as a likely date.
