What our sailors say?
Every cruise is more than a journey - it's memories that last long after you step ashore. Our participants share their stories, emotions and moments that are hard to put into words... but which we try to capture right here.
I thought it would just be a holiday. It was a journey that cleared my soul. Every sunrise on deck reminded me that you can live slower and deeper.

After 30 years I was at the helm again. Watch at four in the morning, shared meals in the mess, cold wind, the crew's laughter - I felt like in the old days. Cruise Tall Ships helped me find a voyage I would never have found on my own.

I didn't know anyone when I boarded. After a week I had a family that can't be replaced. It wasn't just a cruise - it was the adventure of a lifetime together.

Frequently asked questions about tall ship cruises and sailing ships
No, prior sailing experience is not required to join our cruises.
Our leisure cruises are designed for those who want to relax and enjoy the majesty of a tall ship without the physical demands of crew work.

Przygotowanie do rejsu wielkim żaglowcem to pierwszy krok do niezapomnianej morskiej przygody. W przeciwieństwie do standardowych wycieczkowców, życie na tradycyjnym żaglowcu sprzyja praktycznemu luksusowi i poczuciu bliskości z naturą. Kompletując swój ekwipunek żeglarski, warto zrezygnować z twardych walizek na rzecz miękkich toreb podróżnych, które znacznie łatwiej przechować w kajucie. Ponieważ pogoda na pełnym morzu bywa zmienna, najlepszą strategią jest ubiór warstwowy. Nawet podczas słonecznego rejsu wypoczynkowego, kurtka typu softshell oraz stabilne obuwie z antypoślizgową podeszwą są niezbędne do bezpiecznego poruszania się po drewnianym pokładzie. Choć nasza profesjonalna załoga dba o wszystkie aspekty żeglugi, gościom radzimy przygotować się na działanie słońca i morskiej soli poprzez zabranie sprawdzonych filtrów UV. Jeśli obawiasz się choroby morskiej, wcześniejsza konsultacja w sprawie środków zapobiegawczych pozwoli Ci w pełni skupić się na relaksie i podziwianiu zapierających dech w piersiach widoków bez zbędnego dyskomfortu.
