Walking Warnemünde & Rostock | Germany Cruise Port with No Excursions

During our 4-month cruise around Europe aboard Sky Princess, we had just one stop in Germany—and we wanted to make the most of it without doing the long and expensive Berlin tour. We started the day in the seaside town of Warnemünde before hopping on the train to nearby Rostock to see what Germany's largest Baltic city had to offer. We explored Rostock's historic streets, churches, shopping areas, and city center before returning to Warnemünde. In the end, one destination surprised us. Along the way, Mai also shares an important tip about buying and validating your train ticket—something that could save you from an expensive mistake. If you're visiting Germany on a Baltic cruise and wondering whether to stay in Warnemünde or take the train to Rostock, we hope our experience helps you decide. We're Ed & Mai from WanderFree Retirees. After retiring in our 50s, selling our home, and becoming full-time travelers, we're exploring Europe one cruise port at a time—mostly on foot and without expensive excursions.
