Trip information

Without exaggeration, this will be one of the most beautiful sailing trips in the Baltic Sea region! Never before in its 115-year history has our ship ventured further northeast than on this voyage. On this summer trip between Finland and Estonia, we will explore the scenic coastline of the Gulf of Finland. Days at sea alternate with nights at a sheltered anchorage or in port. Depending on wind and weather conditions, stopovers with shore leave are planned along the coast. The sailing trip ends in the centre of Tallinn, one of the most attractive maritime cities in the Baltic. Enjoy relaxing days on board – no previous experience is required to sail on the windjammer.

This is where you board

Helsinki

Helsinki, Finland's capital city by the sea, combines Nordic clarity with urban flair. Among the main attractions are the white cathedral on Senate Square, the rock architecture of Temppeliaukio Church, the Suomenlinna sea fortress, the market square at the harbour and the design district with its numerous galleries and cafés.

Helsinki, Finland's capital on the Baltic Sea, combines clear Nordic architecture with plenty of nature. The compact city centre is easy to explore on foot. The city's landmark is the snow-white cathedral on Senate Square, surrounded by classical administrative buildings. Nearby is the Esplanadi shopping street with parks, boutiques and cafés, as well as the lively market square at the South Harbour, where local specialities and handicrafts are on offer. The Ateljee Bar view at the Hotel Torni or the platforms at Observatorioberget offer impressive views over the city. Those interested in art and architecture should visit the Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art or the wooden church Kampin kappeli of Silence. It is also worth taking a detour to the design district with Finnish design, galleries and modern architecture.

This is where you disembark

Tallinn

Located directly on the Baltic Sea, Tallinn offers medieval flair and maritime heritage. The UNESCO-protected Old Town with its Raekoja plats and narrow streets is ideal for a stroll. In the harbour area, the Lennusadam Seaplane Harbour attracts visitors with historic ships, submarines and interactive exhibitions.

Tallinn, Estonia's capital on the Baltic Sea, combines well-preserved medieval architecture with a modern metropolis. The old town, surrounded by city walls, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and can be easily explored on foot. Raekoja plats is home to the Gothic town hall and narrow streets lined with merchants' houses and warehouses that bear witness to the Hanseatic era. A short climb leads up to Toompea Hill with its Russian Orthodox Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and St. Mary's Cathedral. The viewpoints offer panoramic views over the red roofs and the harbour. Also worth seeing are the historic city walls with defensive towers such as the "Long Hermann" and the Rotermann entertainment district, where old industrial buildings now house design shops, restaurants and galleries.

Guestbook comments

It was a fabulous week. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Constanze Glötzinger

Fellow sailor, about her trip in the South Funen Archipelago

I can highly recommend a sailing trip on the Eye of the Wind. This is a sailing ship straight out of a picture book, and the crew is in a great mood. You may climb to the top of the mast – 27 metres above sea level. Fabulous!"

Claus-Georg Petri

Fellow sailor and journalist, about his cruise in the South Funen Archipelago

Sailing like 100 years ago! A dream come true!

Members of the youth department of the Merching Sailing Association

Seeing this magnificent sailing ship glide through the waves powered only by the wind is an indescribable feeling. There is nothing more beautiful.
