View of the Kiel Canal and surroundings (composite image). The view is toward the West and the border between Germany and Denmark is in the distance to the right.
This is about one quarter of the way through a passage to the Baltic Sea. Shoreline bollards are to secure ships while awaiting clearance for passage. Ships are assigned points based on size and if the sum two ships' points exceeds a certain limit they are not allowed to pass or overtake while both are free to maneuver - one must tie up.

While most large, modern cruise ships cannot pass through this canal due to clearance limits under bridges, one medium sized ship, the M. V. Norwegian Dream has special funnels and masts that can be lowered for passage. A typical Baltic cruise for this ship is Dover england, through the Kiel Canal and across the Baltic to stops in Tallin (Estonia), St. Petersburg (Russia), Helsinki (Finland), Stockhom (Sweden), Copenhagen (Denmark) and Oslo (Norway), returning to Dover via the North Sea.
