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 cruise 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.

Between the Flensburg FjordThe narrow Als Fjord and the Little Belt create a unique water landscape. Flensburg is the ideal starting point for this area. The Historic seafaring and harbour town is considered the home of rum and the West Indies voyage. Here one follows in the midst of romantic captains' and merchants' courtyards the traces of adventure, the smell of salt and tar. In the 18th century, ships from the Caribbean brought raw rum to the city - the many sailors' shanties around the famous "Buddel Rum" still bear witness to this today. Our tip: take part in one of the City tours part. The Maritime museum with exciting insights into the maritime past and the imposing St Nicholas' Church characterises the cityscape.
