Travemünde is a casual holiday resort on the Baltic Sea and a port for Scandinavian ferries. Fish restaurants line the banks of the Trave and Travemünde's beach promenade overlooking the Bay of Lübeck. Fish sandwiches are sold at stalls in the fishing port. The old lighthouse from 1539, a brick building, is now a maritime museum. The historic four-masted barque Passat can be visited as part of a guided tour.

The day is still young, there is a light breeze blowing from the north-east. The best time for a trip from Travemünde to Niendorf-Hafen, along the Brodtener Steilufer via Hermannshöhe. A panoramic view of the Bay of Lübeck is guaranteed.

The Ostpreußenkai cruise terminal is located right in the heart of Travemünde on the Vorderreihe street with a view of the Passat on the opposite side of the Trave. Cruise ships up to 200 meters long and 25 meters wide can dock here. The glass terminal building is available for docking with and without passenger changes and offers an open view of the Trave estuary and the hustle and bustle of the town.
