Buses or trains from Kiel.

[CairnsDragon]

Interested if anyone has got there own way to Hamburg and Lubeck via a bus or train from the cruise port in Kiel?

There is a nonstop FlexiBus to Hamburg. I took the train with about 4 stops.

Beautiful area.

Don't know about Lubeck

There is also free transportation from Kiel HBF to/from the port

There´s the Kielius bus connecting Kiel Central Station with Hamburg Airport. It runs more often than Flixbus.

 

You can also take the train to Hamburg. For the airport you then have connect at Hamburg Central Station to the S-Bahn out to the airport.

 

Sorry, can´t say anything about Lübeck.

Train to Hamburg is the easiest.

A few weeks ago after leaving Meraviglia, we took the train. About 1 hr 20 minute trip to the central station.

 

MSC provide a shuttle bus (much cheaper than a taxi) to the train station. Certainly Meraviglia docked quite far away (9km) from central Kiel (due to her size?)

It´s 1,700 m from Ostseekai to the Central Station in Kiel - so app. 1 mile.

 

The MSC Meraviglia is docked at Ostuferhafen which is farther away. You definitely need a shuttle bus to the Central Station from there. And no, it´s not due to her size. She´s able to dock at Ostseekai too. But MSC has a cooperation with the port of Kiel and paid for the new terminal building there.
