A 100-year-old lighthouse draws visitors to this port along the northern coast of Germany. The beacon anchors a bustling boardwalk area, where shops, restaurants and charming pubs offer sweeping views of the surrounding sea. The local beaches are popular, too, offering a launching point to kite surfing, diving and sunbathing spots.

Cruise passengers often find themselves drawn to Warnemunde’s larger neighbor, Rostock. This city is known as a pedestrian’s paradise, where wide, winding sidewalks twine themselves between medieval buildings, towering brick cathedrals and lively market areas. Photography buffs often wind up at St. Marien Church, a 15th-century structure boasting Rostock’s chiming icon, an astronomical clock.
