Our crew will welcome you on board in Flensburg harbour. Embarkation takes place at 7 pm. You will get to know your fellow travellers over a welcome drink followed by dinner together in the cosy saloon and will soon find your way around the deck planks of the Eye of the Wind and into your cabin.
Our sailing area: Flensburg Fjord, Danish South Sea and Kiel Fjord
After breakfast, it's „Cast off!“ During this first day of sailing, we cross the invisible German-Danish sea border. The water landscape in this area is repeatedly interrupted by small and large islands, stretches of beach and green forests. A possible first stop on our journey is Sønderborg on the island of Als. The main attraction is the castle with its park, which is within sight of our mooring. It is also worth taking a stroll through the old town with its typical Danish tranquillity and along the harbour with its historic merchants' houses.
Active or leisurely sailing – the choice is yours
After a safety and sailing briefing from the ship's crew, you can actively participate in the ship's operations yourself. Active assistance on deck is always on a voluntary basis, so you can of course also simply watch the sailing manoeuvres and the daily practice of traditional seamanship in a relaxed manner. The fresh sea air is known to make you hungry – so you can look forward to our excellent galley, which will surprise you every day with varied creations from the galley cookery book.
Possible destination for the day: Kappeln on the Baltic Sea fjord Schlei
Fresh sailing winds gradually push us southwards off Schleswig-Holstein's Baltic coast. A possible destination for the day is the Baltic Sea fjord Schlei; the well-known green and white lighthouse marks the entrance to this inlet. If the light conditions are good and the wave height allows, it will be possible to take a photo tour around the ship in this area with the Eye of the Wind's dinghy. The beautiful harbour town of Kappeln offers a good opportunity to go ashore. An alternative and attractive voyage option is a night in a sheltered anchorage – there we can enjoy the view of the mainland and the special evening atmosphere on deck with a drink from the on-board bar.
End of the trip with Captain's Dinner
Once more wind in the sails off Schleswig-Holstein's Baltic coast ... and then the highlight of the last day at sea: our traditional Captain's Dinner. At the end of this varied voyage, we will tie up the lines in the harbour of Kiel-Holtenau. Here you will say goodbye to our crew and your fellow travellers. You will disembark with a duffel bag full of memories. A relaxing week in the Western Baltic Sea now lies behind you. The voyage will remain in your memory thanks to the good balance of time under sail and relaxing shore excursions.
