Trip information

Since 1911 the Sailing ship Eye of the Wind across all the world's oceans. The tall ship, which has also been used as a film set in several Hollywood productions, can be visited on the 1st May public holiday. As part of a Open Ship the crew will answer questions from all seafarers, ship lovers and young sea dogs about the Ship and its History. Every visitor can try out sailor's knots in a "knot school", and collectors will of course also receive a ship's stamp.

Admission is free. Registration or booking is not necessary for participation in the Open Ship. There is no day trip during the Open Ship; the ship remains moored at its berth. The organiser reserves the right to change the berth at short notice.

This is where you board

Bremerhaven

Bremerhaven on the North Sea coast offers maritime flair and modern architecture. In the Havenwelten district, modern shopping arcades invite you to stroll around. Numerous restaurants and cafés right on the waterfront offer regional specialities and international cuisine with a view of the New Harbour and the Weser dyke.

During your stay, explore the maritime area between the Geeste estuary, the Atlantic Hotel Sail City and the "Zoo am Meer" (zoo by the sea). Behind the grass-covered Weser dyke, the German Maritime Museum, the Klimahaus Bremerhaven "8° Ost" and the German Emigration Centre are well worth a visit. The Great Lighthouse, built in 1854, forms the interface between the modern "Havenwelten" (harbour worlds) as an attraction for visitors on the one hand and the industrial cargo port on the other. With an impressive length of 4930 metres it is thus considered the largest contiguous container terminal in the world. As we pass by, we watch the large cargo ships being loaded and unloaded at a rapid pace.
