sailcruise Denmark

Welcome aboard!

You will join the ship in the particularly beautiful port of Rostock. If you have the chance, we advise to come a little early to visit this lovely town. Rostock has a rich culture with a lot of green parks to be found in the city. It has a very nice center, with many small shops. On Sunday evening you will be warmly greeted by the crew on board the Abel Tasman and you will get to know your traveling companions. After the important security issues and domestic announcements have been made, the weather report will be discussed together and the possible itinerary will be planned.

You become part of the Abel Tasman crew

Before the sails are set, you go with the bosun, sailor, mate, to the front deck for the sail training, where everything will be explained. You will learn, among other things, the names of the sails and how they function. You also practice some knots that you will use on the Abel Tasman this week. And less fun, but very important: there is also talk about what to do in case of emergency. During this week there are plenty of opportunities to (actively) participate in sailing, trimming, packing, steering and navigate.

The planning

Then it's time to leave. As soon as we are off the Warnow river, the sails will be set, the engine will go out and we will be on course. Anyone who wants to steer, the captain will teach you how to read and write positions in the map. If the wind is favorable to, there is a chance that we will visit the island of Sjaelland (with the Danish capital, Kopenagen). But the other islands in the Danish South Sea are also worth a visit.
There will be shorter sailing days, so you have plenty of opportunity to experience Danish life, but there will also be longer days, which the sailing fanatics among us will love again.

If the weather permits, there is plenty of swimming and water fun. These activities can easily be varied with reading a book, enjoying the surroundings, chatting with your traveling companions or even a little bit of ...

Every afternoon or evening a port is approached, where there is enough time to take a walk or simply do what you want. You prefer to stay on board, no problem!
So if you are ready for a week 'emptying your head', then you'll get plenty of fun. Take plenty of books and sunscreen with you, there are wonderful places to relax on board!

Everything described above is subject to change, because this trip is just like our other sailing trips- weather- and wind dependent.

Sailing ship Abel Tasman is a luxury two-masted schooner which is more than 40 meters long. Because of its spacious layout you always feel at ease on board. Everywhere are places where you can enjoy and relax quietly. But if you choose to be together, then there are plenty of opportunities for that too. We have 30 beds on board and with day trips we can accommodate 60 people.
