This voyage is during a Cruise-in-Company of the 2019 Tall Ships Races. This means you can expect spectacular events, especially in your destination port. Be ready for the Crew Parade, Crew Party, competitions and fireworks. Meet trainees from different vessels and soak in the atmosphere! The first 2 days will be spent in Frederikstad, staying at a hostel and exploring the city before boarding the Morgenster on the 13th. These 2 nights at hostel are part of the Exchange and included in the price

By entering an Erasmus+ Funded International Exchange not only will you sail the high seas but you will also learn about other cultures and customs. With many nationalities on board you will enjoy cultural dinner parties and all kinds of activities to learn about other cultures and make international friends. Aside from the professional sailing Crew, during International Exchanges there are mentors on board to help you adjust to the life on a Ship and organize the additional activities.

Some of them will be focused on sustainability, with an emphasis on plastic pollution. Whether you are an experienced sailor or stepping on board for the first time there is no denying that this is an important matter. Onboard the Morgenster, our mentors and you have an excellent setting to teach each other about solutions, big and small. Joining this project will not only mean sailing along a magnificent coast, it will also mean gaining knowledge on what you can do to protect the seas!

The Ship doesn’t stop when the night comes, that means that you will be working day and night to reach your destination! You will be divided into watches and work in shifts of 4 hours on, 8 hours off. That means two watches per day: one in daytime and one in the night. Don’t worry, your sleep pattern will soon adjust. For participating in the voyage you will receive a Youth Pass - the official EU certificate of skills and competences.
