Description

Navigate Kiel's history and learn what life was like on a WWII submarine with an app audio guide. Experience an immersive stroll through the Laboe Naval Memorial and the German Submarine U-995 Museum.
Enhance your visit to the Laboe Naval War Memorial and WWII German Submarine U-955 with a mobile audio-guided route that will take you into the heart of the museum. Journey into Kiel’s World War I and II naval history and find out about the last German Kaiser’s impact on the city.
After downloading the app on your device with your own unique access code (download instructions received after booking), follow a set route with turn-by-turn instructions starting from the Naval memorial. You can start, pause, or restart at any time and complete the route at your own pace.
Gain insight into the exhibits of the museum and discover parts of the memorial that you might never find on your own. Hear how tough the conditions aboard WWII submarines were, and gain a new appreciation for the fresh, clean air that Laboe offers.
At the museum, explore the WWII submarine and see the inner workings of the engine room, crew quarters, and torpedo room. Take in views from the observation deck on top of the memorial tower and see all the way to Denmark.
Learn about the construction of the Kiel Canal, the most used man-made canal in the world, and get to know more about the Battle of Jutland that claimed the lives of 10,000 sailors in just 24 hours. Visit the tomb-like reflection space dedicated to all those lost at sea.
Give yourself about 1-hour to finish the audio-guided route, then feel free to take time to stop and enjoy the sunshine on the neighboring Laboe Beach or grab a bite to eat at one of the local eateries nearby.  
This tour is the perfect half-day excursion whether your cruise is stopping off in Laboe or Kiel, you simply find yourself in the area for the day, or you’re a curious local wanting to know more about the city’s naval history. Continue the adventure at home with the virtual tour option.
