Tall Ships Races 2018: Cruise in Company. Music, food, parades and competitions – these are just some of the many activities the host ports of the Tall Ships Races will offer you! Join Alexander von Humboldt II to try more laid back sailing while still enjoying the sailing festivals in Esbjerg and Stavanger. Leave the port in a Parade of Sails, cheered by thousands of spectators on land, and set course for Norway. Learn what it’s like to sail on a Tall Ship, pulling the lines, trimming the sails, navigating and steering. Languages on board are mainly German and English. In addition extra, per person € 50, – for harbor fees, pilotage and canal fees calculated. Surcharge for 2-bed cabin 25% p.p. For all Windseekers, minimum age 15 years.
Esbjerg is a beautiful coastal city in the South-West of Denmark, with the second biggest harbour in Denmark - a lively place full of fishing and shipping activities. You can observe the town's maritime history in its attractions: from the Fisheries- and Maritime Museum, Esbjerg Skibet statue to the Men at Sea monument, everything brings you back to the sea. Visit also the Ribe Vikinge Center, a fun outdoor museum where you will meet the Vikings themselves!
Stavanger is a modern port, but retains a small historic district. The lovely old harbour is a favourite stopover for big cruiseships that tower over the buildings. The city has a lively cultural scene, and is surrounded by numerous outdoor destinations well worth a visit. Explore the narrow, rocky Lysefjord and the mountains Preikestolen and Kjerag, or relax on Jæren's beaches. Make sure to bring hiking boots, as the mountains stand over 1000 meters tall.
