Over a welcome drink, you will get to know your fellow passengers for the day. Or bring your family and friends on board with you and enjoy an eventful day together on one of the last original tall ships of our time.
The grand windjammer parade on the penultimate day of Kiel Sailing Week is the highlight of the event for all visitors and participating sailors. On board the Eye of the Wind, you will be right in the middle of the parade – experiencing the atmosphere on board, watching the other tall ships sail by and enjoying the view of the fjord landscape on the shore!
Together with a large fleet of pleasure boats, historic steamships and traditional sailing ships, we sail past the green and white Friedrichsort lighthouse towards the Baltic Sea. On our starboard side, we see the Laboe Naval Memorial, and right next to it, we discover the former submarine U 995, which looks particularly impressive from this perspective as it sits enthroned on the beach. Small colourful sails dominate the scene on the opposite shore of the fjord. This is where the sailing competitions take place on the regatta courses. The centre of the sailing competition is the Schilksee Olympic Centre – this is where the Olympic flame burned during the 1972 Games, and to this day it is the heart of the organisational headquarters for every Kiel Sailing Week.
