Experience the grand finale of the Tall Ships Races 2026! During this final leg, you will sail over eight days from rugged, mountainous Stavanger to the vibrant city of Aalborg in Denmark. This voyage marks the culmination of an unforgettable summer at sea, where you, alongside young people from around the world, will push yourself and the ship to the limit.
This international youth journey is more than just a sailing trip—it’s a celebration of everything you’ve learned, experienced, and overcome. Whether it’s your first or fourth leg, you are part of the crew, part of the race, and part of something truly extraordinary.
What to expect?
- Finale of the Tall Ships Races: The final race is always something special. The fleet is finely tuned, the tension high, and the atmosphere intense. Together, we sail across the Skagerrak and the Kattegat toward Aalborg, working as one team to build speed, hold our course, and bring out the very best in the ship.
- Watch System: On this leg as well, we operate the four-hours-on, eight-hours-off watch system. During your watch, you will learn to steer, navigate, keep lookout, and handle the sails. No prior experience is required—our crew will guide you step by step through life at sea. Everything revolves around teamwork.
- Finishing Together: Outside of your watch duties, there is time to reflect, laugh, relax, and say goodbye—to the ship, to your team, to the sea, and perhaps to a summer that has changed your life.
