Our summer sailing trip starts in Gothenburg and takes us through the breathtaking Swedish islands, across the open waters of the Kattegat and through the charming Danish islands to Kiel-Holtenau in Germany.
This year, the traditional sailing ship Belle Amie is celebrating her 110th birthday. Despite her age, she is equipped with modern amenities and offers all those on board an unforgettable adventure this summer.
Together, we hoist the sails, leave the daily grind behind and enjoy the tranquillity of the water. Whether it is a night sailing, anchoring off the small islands of Sweden’s Western Scheren or visiting the atmospheric towns of Denmark – this trip offers every participant a unique and special summer experience.
The Belle Amie sails as a traditional sailing vessel with all required safety certificates and an experienced crew. You do not need any sailing experience to participate, but active involvement in life on board is appreciated. We provide tasty meals together and accommodation is divided into four cabins, which are booked up to half full at most.
This exclusive summer cruise has room for only 12 participants, so everyone has plenty of space, both on deck and below deck. You will arrange the trip to Gothenburg and return from Kiel Holtenau yourself, but we will gladly help you organise it.
This trip is ideal for anyone who wants to do a lot of sailing and would like to learn more about traditional shipping and historic ships.
