Trip information

The archipelago off the west coast of Sweden is considered by experienced sailors and Scandinavia enthusiasts to be perhaps the most beautiful sea area in the Baltic Sea. With its diverse landscape, unique visual appeal and sometimes fairytale-like dreaminess, this "maritime adventure playground" off the coast of the Swedish provinces of Västergötland and Bohuslän is a real treat. Join us on a special discovery voyage and explore this dreamlike landscape in an unusual yet pleasant and comfortable way: aboard a traditional tall ship that is over 100 years old!

This is where you board

Gothenburg

Discover the lively harbour of Gothenburg, where maritime heritage meets modern innovation. Visit the impressive Maritiman Museum and explore the historic Haga district with its cosy cafés. Stroll through the vibrant Feskekôrka fish market and experience the atmosphere at Lilla Bommen - perfect for culture and history lovers!

Gothenburg in the summer province of Bohuslän: the western Swedish archipelago is considered perhaps the most beautiful sea area in the Baltic Sea. The city centre of Sweden's second largest city is easy to explore on foot; numerous coffee houses invite you to linger and watch the world go by. For those interested in maritime history, it is also worth visiting the four-masted barque Viking, built in 1906; this largest windjammer built in Scandinavia is now a museum ship in the Lilla Bommen section of the harbour.

 

Incidentally, the hull of the Eye of the Wind lay in a shipyard in Gothenburg for a year from 1970 onwards. Some time later, work began here to convert it into the passenger ship it is today, thus giving the tall ship a "second life".

Guestbook comments

I can highly recommend a sailing trip on the Eye of the Wind. This is a sailing ship straight out of a picture book, and the crew is in a great mood. You may 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

Simply an overwhelming experience - you have to experience it.

Dr Hermann Gärlich
fellow sailor, about his voyage between Vigo and Tenerife

Here I can let go of all the tension and find myself again.

Jan Störmer
Fellow sailor, about his voyage from Stockholm through the Swedish Archipelago

Seeing this magnificent sailing ship glide through the waves powered only by the wind is an indescribable feeling. There is nothing more beautiful.
