Trip information

Join the crew of the Eye of the Wind on her voyage to the winter shipyard! Enjoy eventful days on board, taking part in an active sailing holiday whilst also getting to know the ship as a haven of tranquillity, where you can leave the information overload and hustle and bustle of everyday life behind. As we pass from the Baltic Sea to the North Sea and move to the rhythm of the tides, we’ll explore the fascinating waters between the Kattegat and the entrance to the Danish Ringkøbing Fjord. Setting off from Gothenburg, Sweden, the journey takes us through the picturesque Limfjord, Denmark’s most beautiful natural waterway, and on across the North Sea.

A possible stop-off is planned in the typically Scandinavian fjord city of Aalborg. The picturesque old town, with its winding alleys, shops and pubs, is well worth a visit. The most famous buildings are the half-timbered castle, the Renaissance-style ‘Stenhus’ and the 15th-century St Budolfi Cathedral. Another stop on the route is the port town of Thyborøn, our gateway to the North Sea. A shore excursion is also planned here.

Fifty years ago, on 25 September 1976 to be precise, our sailing ship set sail for the first time under its current name, Eye of the Wind. The symbolic anniversary prize for this voyage, amounting to 1,976 euros, is a nod to that year.

This is where you board

Gothenburg

Gothenburg impresses with its maritime flair, high-quality museums and green parks. The Lilla Bommen district, known for the striking „Läppstiftet“ skyscraper at the harbour, is particularly worth seeing. Excursion boats leave from here, and the Gothenburg Opera House is located in the immediate vicinity and invites you to enjoy culture.

Gothenburg is the ideal starting point for a cruise through the world of western Swedish archipelago. The area is considered to be perhaps the most beautiful sea area in the Baltic Sea: scenically diverse, well protected, visually unique and appealing and sometimes fairytale-like and dreamy. The City centre of Sweden's second largest city can be easily explored on foot; numerous coffee houses invite you to linger and watch the world go by. For those interested in the maritime world, it is also worth paying a visit to the the four-masted barque Viking, which is open to the public as a museum ship. Incidentally, the hull of our Eye of the Wind was stored in a shipyard in Gothenburg for a year from 1970, and it was here that the conversion work to the passenger ship in its present form began some time later, and thus the tall ship's „second life“.

This is where you disembark

Hvide Sande

Welcome to the picturesque harbour of Hvide Sande, where the rough North Sea meets the calm Ringkøbing Fjord. Immerse yourself in the maritime world at Fiskeriets Hus and taste freshly caught fish specialities straight from the cutter. Explore the majestic dune landscape - an insider tip for nature enthusiasts and connoisseurs!

Hvide Sande, a picturesque harbour town on the west coast of Denmark, offers a wealth of fascinating sights. One of the main attractions is the working fishing harbour, where you can watch the fishermen at work. Take a walk to Lyngvig Fyr lighthouse and visit the former lighthouse keeper’s house, which now houses a café. The long sandy beaches are perfect for swimming and walking. At Fiskeriets Hus, the fishing museum, you can learn interesting facts about the town’s history and maritime culture. The lock system in Hvide Sande is also well worth a visit; here you can watch as the North Sea and Ringkøbing Fjord are connected. A visit to Hvide Sande promises relaxation, nature experiences and fascinating insights into life on the Danish coast.

Guestbook comments

I’m absolutely thrilled with this sailing trip (it was my first of its kind) and am still basking in the many memories, the excellent crew, who were always so friendly, and, of course, the experience of seeing how it’s still possible to travel on a historic sailing ship today.

Passenger on a North Sea trip in the German Bight

An incredible experience and a lifelong goal achieved. The Eye of the Wind and its crew are exceptional. Thank you so much for your guidance, your patience and your friendship. Unforgettable!

Guestbook entry regarding the sailing trip from Falmouth to Greenwich

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 only recommend a sailing trip on the Eye of the Wind. This two-master is a sailing ship straight out of a picture book, and the crew is in a great mood. And if you want, you can 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

We would like to thank you for a relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable week on the beautiful Eye of the Wind. It was a pleasure to see you working together as such a well-coordinated team – always going out of your way to ensure that we, your guests, were well looked after.

We don’t want to disembark.

A dream has come true with this sailing trip on the Eye of the Wind, which revealed its full charm under full sail. A wonderful vintage vessel! The young crew look after and maintain this beautiful windjammer with great love, dedication and seafaring expertise.

The journey is over, but the magic lives on!
