Trip information

Many routes lead from the Kattegat to Eckernförde Bay. On this early summer sailing trip, the Baltic Sea becomes our "playground" of numerous possibilities. On our way south, we could choose to sail through the Öresund – with a stopover in Copenhagen and a trip past the chalk cliffs of the island of Møn on the itinerary. If we decide to pass through the Great Belt, we will enjoy long stretches under sail and plenty of time at sea. Here, too, shore leave, for example in the port city of Svendborg, provides variety. Or would you prefer a slower and more leisurely pace? Then the Little Belt with coastal towns such as Middelfart or Sønderborg would be the right choice. In any case, this voyage is characterised by a balanced ratio of sailing time at sea and sufficient time for varied port visits and shore excursions.

This is where you board

Gothenburg

Discover the lively harbour of Gothenburg, where maritime heritage meets modern innovation. Visit the impressive Maritiman Museum and explore the historic Haga district with its cosy cafés. Stroll through the vibrant Feskekôrka fish market and experience the atmosphere at Lilla Bommen - perfect for culture and history lovers!

Gothenburg in the summer province of Bohuslän: the western Swedish archipelago is considered perhaps the most beautiful sea area in the Baltic Sea. The city centre of Sweden's second largest city is easy to explore on foot; numerous coffee houses invite you to linger and watch the world go by. For those interested in maritime history, it is also worth visiting the four-masted barque Viking, built in 1906; this largest windjammer built in Scandinavia is now a museum ship in the Lilla Bommen section of the harbour.

 

Incidentally, the hull of the Eye of the Wind lay in a shipyard in Gothenburg for a year from 1970 onwards. Some time later, work began here to convert it into the passenger ship it is today, thus giving the tall ship a "second life".

Eckenförde

Eckernförde delights with its maritime charm: the long sandy beach invites you to swim, while the historic old town with its colourful gabled houses and the Sankt Nicolai church tower tempts you to take a stroll. The harbour, the Baltic Sea Information Centre and the candy factory are also worth a visit.

Eckernförde is idyllically situated on the Baltic Sea coast of Schleswig-Holstein. In the town harbour, you can take a stroll along the inviting harbour promenade, which is a popular attraction for guests and locals alike. The fine sandy, four-kilometre-long beach with its colourful beach chairs is only a few minutes' walk away.


Make the most of your stay by taking a leisurely stroll through the shopping streets in the immediate vicinity of the harbour area. The historic old town invites you to wander around its lovingly restored half-timbered houses, small boutiques and winding alleys. Particularly worth seeing is the 13th-century St. Nicolai Church, whose tower offers a wonderful view of the city and the sea.

Guestbook comments

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

Simply an overwhelming experience - you have to experience it.

Dr Hermann Gärlich
fellow sailor, about his voyage between Vigo and Tenerife

Here I can let go of all the tension and find myself again.

Jan Störmer
Fellow sailor, about his voyage from Stockholm through the Swedish Archipelago

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