Cruises visiting Kaliningrad
Located in a Russian enclave on the edge of the Baltic Sea, between Poland and Lithuania, the city of Kaliningrad has a fascinating singular identity. Founded by Teutonic Knights in the 13th century, capital of the Duchy of Prussia from the 16th to the 18th centuries, then of the province of East Prussia, the former Königsberg, renamed Kaliningrad when annexed by the Soviet Union, still has many traces of its Germanic heritage today. During your stay, be sure to discover the Amalienau district with its magnificent Prussian style façades and the Altes Haus historical museum, which recreates daily life in a German apartment at the beginning of the 20th century.
