Board the Aron in the port city of Gothenburg, Sweden’s second-largest city. After setting sails, the Aron explores part of Sweden’s picturesque Scheren archipelago, before crossing the Kattegat Sea to the Danish islands of Læsø and Anholt. On this trip, you can expect longer sailing days, open horizons and perhaps night sailing.
The Gothenburg archipelago on Sweden’s west coast lends itself ideally to exploration by sailing ship. Island hop among the Swedish skerries while discovering nature reserves and quiet fishing villages. Learn the tricks of sailing on a traditional wooden ship while Aron’s crew teaches you the ropes. From hoisting the sails together to steering the ship. This is a great opportunity to sail through beautiful landscapes while learning about maritime heritage.
Join Aron in Copenhagen as she celebrates traditional Danish midsummer with bonfires on the beach and conviviality ashore. Sail to the coastal town of Skovshoved and spend four more days exploring the enchanting coastline around the island of Zealand and the famous Shakespeare Castle in Elsinore. This trip is perfect for anyone who wants to combine an active introduction to sailing with exploring the sheltered waters of Denmark.
From Falmouth in beautiful Cornwall, we sail past estuaries with medieval harbours to Torquay. The programme includes picturesque Fowey, Salcombe and Dartmouth, where there is also plenty of time for walking around. Shorter day distances and plenty of time for sightseeing with occasional extra excursions.
From Dublin, we will set sail for Falmouth on England’s south-west coast in Cornwall. From the Irish Sea across the Celtic Sea around Land’s End,via the Scilly Isles. Weather and tide will ultimately determine our route, but the plan is to do this in manageable stages.
Category A/C: Crossing with some shorter day distances in between.
Join Blue Clipper for an adventurous sailing holiday on a traditional tallship, from Monaco to Portimão, Portugal. This active sailing experience is ideal for anyone who wants to experience life aboard a traditionally rigged tallship while racking up considerable sea miles. Sail through the Strait of Gibraltar and along the southern coasts of France and Spain, before finishing in Portimão. Immerse yourself in life on board during longer crossings and maybe even some night sailing. There will be some port stops during the voyage, but exact locations will only be determined once the skipper has a better idea of that week’s weather conditions.
