Six eventful days on board: time for you to take part in an active sailing holiday and at the same time get to know the ship as a place of tranquillity where you can leave the flood of information and the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind you. At the start of the sailing season, we explore a fascinating sailing area: the IJsselmeer and the North Sea coast. Starting from the Amsterdam metropolitan area, the journey takes us not only along the Frisian island chain, but also, in a sense, into the past of the Eye of the Wind: a few kilometres down the Weser from Elsfleth, the destination of our journey, the ship was launched in 1911.

This is where you disembark
In Elsfleth, you can experience maritime flair in a charming small town. Our ship was launched here in 1911, just a few kilometres down the river. Located directly at the harbour, the Maritime Museum has an exhibition illustrating the shipbuilding era of that time, the history of shipping on the Weser and maritime life in the Wesermarsch region. Interactive stations, models and original exhibits such as historical navigation devices and portraits of captains give you a vivid picture of seafaring. The old nautical school with its striking architecture dominates the townscape and stands for the long tradition as a training location for seafarers. A walk along the Weser beach offers great views of the water and passing ships. The beautiful market square and St. Nicolai Church invite you to linger.
