Trip information

The sailing ship Eye of the Wind has been cruising the world's oceans since 1911. During the Rum Regatta weekend, the tall ship, which has also been used as a film set in several Hollywood productions, can be visited. As part of an open ship, the crew will be on hand to answer questions from seafarers, ship lovers and young sea dogs about the ship. 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

Flensburg

Flensburg impresses with its maritime flair and Nordic charm. Worth seeing are the historic harbour, the picturesque old town with its merchants' courtyards, the Maritime Museum and St. Nikolai's Church. Cosy cafés and promenades along the fjord invite you to linger.

A unique water landscape unfolds between the Flensburg Fjord, the narrow Als Fjord and the Little Belt. Flensburg is the ideal starting point for exploring this area. The historic seafaring and port city is considered the home of rum and West Indian trade. Here, surrounded by romantic captains' and merchants' courtyards, you can follow in the footsteps of adventure, the smell of salt and tar. In the 18th century, ships brought raw rum to the city from the Caribbean – the many sailors' shanties about the famous "bottle of Rum" still bear witness to this today.
Our tip: take part in one of the guided tours of the city. The Maritime Museum offers fascinating insights into the city's maritime past, and the imposing St. Nikolai Church dominates the cityscape.
