Gulden Leeuw:
Lindesnes (NO) - Tanager (NO) - Stavanger (NO)

23 July - 27 July 2018

Hop-on, hop-off tour of the Norwegian coast. Join the Gulden Leeuw on a sightseeing tour. Board the vessel in Lindesnes and visit Sirevag and Tanager before disembarking in Stavanger. In Sirevag, a village of just 500 inhabitants, you can take a walk to enjoy the stunning landscape and visit a medieval church, while Tanager invites you to try fresh shellfish and check out the fishing museum. And sailing from one destination to another on a Tall Ship just makes the experience so much better! You will arrive in Stavanger on the 26th and you will have the whole day to enjoy the festival before diesmbarking. You can also join this trip in other ports along the way – see other journeys. Open for all Windseekers aged 15 and older. If you’d like to disembark in a port other than Stavanger, please contact us at info@windseeker.org
