We will take the ship through the Kiel Canal and the North Sea to the Wilhelmshaven Sailing-CUP.

You will actively participate in sailing manoeuvres and have the chance to learn traditional seamanship. Between sailing activities, there is plenty of time to relax on deck or in our cosy saloon below deck.

With a nice balance between activity and relaxation, you can experience sailing in all its facets and have an unforgettable time on the water.

The ship’s crossing is the focus, where we take every opportunity to use the wind to sail. The exact route depends on weather conditions and other factors, giving the trip an exciting and unique character.

On the Kiel Canal, we sail by engine. Along the way, you can admire the imposing container ships that sail this busiest waterway in the world with us. If conditions are favourable, we plan a stop on Helgoland in our itinerary, giving you the chance to explore this fascinating island.

In the evenings, depending on the wind and weather, we will be in a port, at anchor or continue sailing. Which ports we call at depends on the weather and is decided on board by our crew.

Our sailing ship offers a warm and cosy atmosphere. Share your enthusiasm for sailing with us and experience unforgettable moments together.

Together with your fellow travellers, you will prepare delicious meals, which we will then eat together in a convivial atmosphere. This gives you a chance to discuss the day’s experiences and enjoy each other’s company.

The sailing ship Iris offers comfort and hospitality. Cosy cabins and lovingly decorated common areas invite you to relax.

Frequently asked questions

We still handle your bookings personally and therefore do not have an automatic booking system. This way, we can enable you to reserve individual places for a few days without any obligation. This allows you, for example, to arrange your holiday without someone stealing your place from under your nose. For this reason, we cannot keep track of the exact number of free places on a daily basis. However, we regularly check the availability of our sailing holidays. Therefore, you can generally assume that plenty of free places are still available 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 places available.

If you are travelling alone and have not booked a private cabin, you will be accommodated in a shared cabin. Shared cabins are normally divided by gender. Only on the Belle Amie and Seatrips Yachts do they sometimes have mixed cabins.

Yes, vegetarians and allergies/intolerances can be catered for on most ships. 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.
