Szczecin


Favourable location, history, facilities and attractions of Szczecin and Świnoujście are good reasons for exploring these new cruise destinations.

The distance of 144 km by highway between Szczecin and Berlin provides unrivalled opportunity for one-day trips to the top class tourist destination.

Some of special facilities really worth visiting include the Castle of Pomeranian Dukes, churches of the Old Town, St. James Cathedral and the famous Wały Chrobrego, a showpiece embankment. All these make Szczecin a popular destination for river and seagoing cruises.

Świnoujście is the only Polish city on several islands. It has the widest beach, the tallest lighthouse and is a famous health resort thanks to its special microclimate. Guided tours of the 19th century fortifications are a must for fans of military history. One of the top attractions is the nearby German sea resort “Drei Kaiser Bäder” with its beautiful classical architecture.
