Our Oceania cruise ship is one of the largest that can use the Kiel canal and when you look at this bridge you can see the crowd at the rail looking up to see if we are actually going to clear! You may need to enlarge the picture to see how close it is.
And this is just as we start under the bridge! We were really glad that we were watching! Pretty awesome.
This picture shows another bridge in the distance and that there was controlled traffic in the canal. At intervals there were lights showing either red or green (like you see along train tracks) and we also had 3 pilots aboard to guide us along. There were times at we were nearly stopped waiting on traffic.
And one of our big surprises that no one could have planned was that we saw the biggest yacht in the world which is owned by Paul Allen, Bill Gates Microsoft partner. It seemed to be just sitting, not moving and we saw no one on board at least on the outside. At first we thought it was a small river cruise boat.
A view of the heliport on the yacht with no helicopter so perhaps they were off to visit somewhere in Germany! Fun to see how the rich live.
