Scheveningen (NL) - Kiel (DE) - Aalborg (DK)

22 June - 05 July 2019

Three Sailing Festivals! This journey is a treat for everyone who loves Tall Ships and celebrating with other sailors. You will board the Atyla in Scheveningen (just outside of The Hague), and leave the harbour with other ships in a magnificent Parade of Sail. You will then make your way to Kiel, and spend a few days at the famous Kieler Woche maritime festival. You will have the chance to show off the Atyla to the visitors, and also take some free time to visit the festival. Finally you will embark on a journey towards Aalborg, where the Tall Ships Races 2019 will start. Enjoy the Crew Party, Crew Parade, fireworks, and spending time with your new friends. Open to all Windseekers, minumum age 15 years.

Ports

Scheveningen is a popular sea resort in the Netherlands, a stone’s throw away from the seat of government in The Hague. It has a busy marina and a lively (somewhat kitschy) promenade – great for an afternoon of sightseeing. You’ll also find plenty to do nearby. Go for a walk in the dune landscape or take a tour around the Palace of Peace. Visit Madurodam to see the Netherlands rebuilt in miniature, check out the city centre of The Hague, or explore the beach and perhaps even go kitesurfing.

The Tall Ships Races 2019 will be visiting the grand port of Aalborg. Aalborg has had a love affair with The Tall Ships Races since 1999, when the city hosted the event for the first time. Aalborg is situated at the Liim Fiord where it was founded by Vikings over 1000 years ago. Today Aalborg is a modern city with visible historic roots. Its theatres, symphony orchestra, performance venues, and museums, make Aalborg a great place to wind down after an exhilarating Sail adventure.
