On May 11, Columbus Cruise Center Wismar launched its 2017 cruise season. The first visitor to the Hanseatic city in Germany was Phoenix Reisen's Deutschland with about 500 passengers on board. She will make a second call in September.

Thomson Cruises' Celebration will also be calling twice at the port of Wismar this season. An overall total of 8,000 transit passengers on 11 cruise vessels are expected at the Baltic Sea port this year.

A highlight was the double call of Fred Olsen Cruise Lines’ Balmoral and Saga Pearl II (pictured) on August 17 commencing at 0730. About 1,800 passengers disembarked on day trips to Wismar and its environs.

In addition five vessels are planning to make their first call, a trend which is expected to continue.
