📅 Arrival and Departure

You’ll board on Tuesday evening and get acquainted with the ship and your fellow travelers.

At the end of the trip, you’ll arrive in Tallinn, the vibrant capital of Estonia.

Along the Kalmarsund, the narrow strait between the Swedish mainland and the island of Öland, you’ll find a region full of historic towns, picturesque coastlines, and an untouched atmosphere. One of the highlights is the island of Gotland. With its medieval capital Visby, charming villages, and diverse landscapes, the island invites you to explore and enjoy. Gotland is a place where history and nature come together in a unique way.

🇪🇪 The enchanting coast of Estonia

Estonia’s coastline offers a fascinating mix of untouched nature, historic towns, and cultural heritage. The coast is dotted with numerous islands and peninsulas, each with its own character. The largest islands, Saaremaa and Hiiumaa, are known for their quiet beaches, windmills, dense forests, and traditional villages. A must-visit is the well-preserved episcopal castle in Kuressaare. The absolute highlight of the journey is Tallinn. This vibrant capital enchants with its medieval old town, winding streets, and a unique atmosphere that blends history and modernity.

Frequently asked questions

We still handle bookings personally and therefore do not have an automated booking system. This allows us to offer you the option to reserve individual spots without obligation for a few days. This way, for example, you can arrange your vacation without anyone snatching your spot right under your nose. For this reason, we are unable to keep track of the exact number of available spots on a daily basis. However, we regularly check the availability of our sailing holidays. Therefore, you can generally assume that there are still enough available spots on all trips that are not marked as “fully booked” or “Last Minute.” Call us or use our booking form if you want to know the exact number of available spots.

If you are travelling alone and have not booked a private cabin, you will be accommodated in a shared cabin. The shared cabins are usually assigned based on gender.

Exceptions:

  • On the Belle Amie and the Seatrips yachts, there are sometimes mixed-gender cabins as well.
  • On the Sir Robert, there are no shared cabins. Are you traveling alone? Then you must book a single cabin..

Yes, vegetarians and allergies/intolerances can be catered for on most ships. On some ships, the menu can also be adapted for vegans. However, there is only one menu per day on the programme. Therefore, please let us know during your booking if you have any special dietary requirements.

In principle, all our trips are suitable for both experienced and novice sailors. The professional crew on board will teach you everything you need to know. In some cases (e.g. on Atlantic crossings) initial sailing experience may be an advantage/requirement. In this case, this will be clearly indicated in the cruise description.
