Morgenster:
Oostend (BE) - Flushing (NL)

31 May - 05 June 2026

Join the Morgenster for a relaxed 5-day coastal sailing voyage from Ostend to Flushing (Vlissingen): a journey that offers the perfect balance of adventure, sea breeze, and the joy of traditional sailing. Set sail along the Belgian and Dutch coasts. Depending on the weather, you might visit one or two charming ports along the way. Think of peaceful harbors, coy quaysides, and evenings filled with the sound of waves against the hull. You’re welcome to join the crew and help sail the ship. Steering at the helm, hoisting the square sails, or learning the art of navigation. But you can just as easily relax on deck, feel the wind in your hair, and let the world drift by.
Important: If the winds are following, you are likely to visit the UK, so make sure to bring your passport and arrange the ETA!
Open to Windseekers aged 15 and older.

STO Garant

This Journey is covered by the STO Garant guarantee. You can find the conditions for this guarantee scheme on STO Garant’s website (www.sto-garant.nl/en/downloads).

This process is automatic and you do not need to do anything else. After receiving your booking, Windseeker will send you detailed information on how and when to pay for your journey – together with all the other important details.

 

What does it mean?

In short: you do not pay the booking amount to Windseeker but instead into an escrow account. This trust account holds your payment in reserve until your journey’s end. The booking amount is then released to Windseeker on the day after your trip ends. If Windseeker or the Ship should become financially insolvent before the end of your trip, STO Garant will implement the guarantee. The Guarantee Scheme details how you can make a claim under the guarantee in such cases. You can read more about this here.
