Pogoria

Looking for a vacation that breaks the mold of generic luxury resorts? Discover the unmatched thrill of the open sea aboard the STS Pogoria, a legendary 48-meter Polish barquentine built in 1980. Designed by the master of tall ship architecture, Zygmunt Choreń, Pogoria was engineered specifically for sail training, meaning she is built for speed, safety, and ultimate maritime adventure. When you book a cruise on this historic Class A vessel, you aren't just a passenger—you are part of the crew. Feel the rush of adrenaline as you handle 830 square meters of canvas sail, take the helm under the guidance of seasoned captains, and stand night watches under a blanket of stars. Pogoria’s rich history includes triumphant racing in the international Tall Ships Races and enduring epic voyages from the icy Baltic Sea to the warm breezes of the Mediterranean Ligurian coast. While the amenities focus on traditional seafaring camaraderie rather than luxury, the true wealth of a Pogoria cruise lies in the shared experience. Swapping stories over hearty meals prepared by the ship’s cook, enjoying a complete digital detox without screens, and conquering the waves side-by-side with newfound friends creates bonds that last a lifetime. Secure your berth on the next open-enrollment voyage and write your own chapter in Pogoria’s living history.

Concerns we know only too well
