This is the perfect voyage to get your sea legs and learn a lot about sailing a Tall Ship. Hoist the sails, man the helm, stand lookout and contemplate the vast ocean around you. On a journey like this you will have the time to get to know all of the aspects of sailing, relax under the stars at night and make lifelong friends.

Ports

Lunenburg is a Canadian port town in Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia. Historically the town was involved in several wars, including the American Revolution. Today the town is a fishery port and has several small shipyards that have managed to preserve the skills of the sailing era. Did you know that the replica of the ‘Bounty’ was built here? Visit the historic city centre on foot or by horse and carriage, and enjoy a leisurely hike in the grassy hills of the surrounding countryside.
