Morgenster:
Enkhuizen (NL) - Plymouth (GB)

20 August - 26 August 2026

Step on board tall ship Morgenster in the Dutch harbour town of Enkhuizen and embark on a sailing voyage to Plymouth, England. Together with the professional crew, you will help set the sails, steer the ship, climb the masts, and learn various other skills. Whether you are completely new to sailing or already have experience, everyone can take part as much or as little as they wish. Cross the North Sea and the English Channel, keeping an eye out for seabirds, passing ships, and perhaps even dolphins riding the bow wave. Evenings on deck, with the sun setting over the horizon and the ship quietly making way westward, are often among the highlights of the voyage, where friendships are made through conversation and song.
Open to Windseekers aged 15 and older.

STO Garant

This Journey is covered by the STO Garant guarantee. You can find the conditions for this guarantee scheme on STO Garant’s website (www.sto-garant.nl/en/downloads).

This process is automatic and you do not need to do anything else. After receiving your booking, Windseeker will send you detailed information on how and when to pay for your journey – together with all the other important details.

 

What does it mean?

In short: you do not pay the booking amount to Windseeker but instead into an escrow account. This trust account holds your payment in reserve until your journey’s end. The booking amount is then released to Windseeker on the day after your trip ends. If Windseeker or the Ship should become financially insolvent before the end of your trip, STO Garant will implement the guarantee. The Guarantee Scheme details how you can make a claim under the guarantee in such cases. You can read more about this here.
