About Sailing the ship

There are no computerised sails; electric and muscle-powered winches are both used. Every morning the captain or cruise director talks on deck about the wind, navigation and the stars, and once a cruise a tender takes guests out to photograph the ship under full sail.

Why it's on our list

  • Climb the mast
  • Open bridge
  • Photo tender under full sail

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Sailing the ship before you go.
