Step on board of Eye of the Wind, the Journey starts in the Latvian capital Riga and is ideal for nature lovers. Sailing within sight of the coastline is the name of the program for this Journey. The beaches of the Kurzeme mainland stretch out on the horizon. You will enjoy shore excursions in Ventspils and Liepaja alternate with nights at the anchorage. The port of destination is the Lithuanian harbor of Klaipeda, where the Sea Festival – a grand get-together of traditional Tall Ships – will take place upon our arrival.
