Den Helder (NL) - Rotterdam (NL)

30 March - 01 April 2018

This weekend journey on a beautiful Dutch Tall Ship will take you from Den Helder to Rotterdam. Maybe you want to try out sailing for the first time on this relatively quiet journey, away from the crowds of big events? Or perhaps you’re an experienced Tall Ships sailor who wants to use this chance to start the season with a short trip? No matter your experience level, this is a perfect voyage for the early spring. Places in 2 person cabins available for € 250 per person. Open for Windseekers of 15 years and older.

Ports

Den Helder is a beautiful town in the Netherlands, situated at the very tip of the North Holland province, regularly hosting the Tall Ships events. Discover the town’s sea connections by visiting the Marinemuseum and Nationaal Reddingmuseum Dorus Rijkers. Take a break and go for a walk in the botanical gardens Oranjerie De Groene Parel Den Helder or admire sea life in the Fort Kijkduin Museum and Aquarium.

Rotterdam is the largest port of Europe, and a modern, bustling town. Much of the historic city centre was destroyed during World War II, but extensive rebuilding resulted in a modern, multicultural city with many architectural highlights. Rotterdam has excellent cultural facilities and a diverse nightlife; during the summer the city hosts a large number of events. Discover the city by bicycle or on foot – or take a train to the nearby Hague.
