In Warnemünde and Rostock there are spacious “stroll miles” that are particularly attractive for families.

The Hanse Sail is not only a highlight in the maritime calendar, but also an economic engine for the region. The city of Rostock supports the event financially, and many hotels are fully booked during the Hanse Sail for weeks. A shuttle service brings visitors relieved to Warnemünde, where the truly lively maritime atmosphere becomes noticeable.

Public transport is significantly expanded during the festival in order to meet the large number of visitors. S-Bahn connections between Rostock Hauptbahnhof and Warnemünde are offered every 7.5 minutes, and numerous chartered trains also run. So nothing stands in the way of a carefree experience!

Overall, the Hanse Sail attracts over a million people annually and is considered one of the largest maritime festivals in Europe. Over 250 sailing boats, steamships and other traditional watercraft present themselves in the ports of Rostock and Warnemünde, where the total length of the participating ships is 6 kilometers. This event is a tribute to Hanseatic history and culture, which is kept alive primarily by the maritime community.
