Pascual Flores:
Szczecin (PL) - Rostock (DE)

04 August - 06 August 2024

From Szczecin to Rostock, this short Baltic Sea journey will take you between two cities with long maritime heritage. Board Pascual Flores in Szczecin, where a Tall Ships Races festival will be coming to an end, and set course for German Rostock. After about a day of sailing, you will reach the city, where other vessels will be gathering for another event: Hanse Sail. Important to note is that your journey will end before the festival begins, so if you’d like to participate, we encourage you to book accommodation for a few days after disembarking.
Open to all Windseekers aged 18+

Ports

Szczecin in North-Western Poland has a deep commitment to sail training. Discover the Underground City Trails: a network of bunkers from WWII with their unique atmosphere. If you’re more of an outdorsy type, take a canoe along the Odra river or explore Bukowe Hills which hide the ruins of old bridges and are home to numerous boars and deer. Visit one of many museums or the Castle of Pomeranian Dukes or the beautiful rose gardens.

Rostock is a vibrant city on the banks of the Warnow River, combining a rich maritime history with a lively modern atmosphere. It is also home to one of the world’s oldest universities. Rostock is also famous for its annual Hanse Sail, one of Europe’s largest maritime festivals, which brings hundreds of thousands of visitors and a spectacular fleet of traditional sailing ships to the city.

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).

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.
