The Tall Ships Races 2026
Longing for the thrill of a competition? Sail in the Tall Ships Races!
During the European summer months, a fleet of international Tall Ships race each other from port to port. Every year, a different route is chosen and in 2026 the North Sea is their playground! From Denmark to the Netherlands, then further south to Belgium before crossing all the way to Norway and finishing back in Denmark – what an adventure! On top of sailing, each port will offer a warm welcome, with crew activities and amazing events.
