Swedish Skerries, Skagerrak and Oslo Fjord

The area of the Western Swedish Archipelago is considered perhaps the most beautiful sailing area of the Baltic Sea: scenically diverse, well protected, visually unique, and sometimes fairy-tale-like. This is where our voyage of discovery along a fantastic coastal landscape begins: from Gothenburg, we cross the Skagerrak and then sail into the narrow Oslo Fjord. The arrival in Oslo is on July 19 – on this day the Eye of the Wind will be 114 years old and this event will be celebrated with a Captain's Dinner in a cozy atmosphere. On July 20, you will have a whole day in port to explore the sights of Norway's capital city.
