Authentic sailing experience

Plymouth, located on England’s picturesque southwest coast in Devon, is a city shaped by the sea and centuries of maritime history. Its expansive natural harbour has played a key role in naval operations and ocean voyages, most notably as the departure point of the Mayflower voyage in 1620. The historic Barbican area offers a glimpse into the past, with its narrow streets, charming harbourfront, and well-preserved buildings dating back to the Elizabethan era. Along the waterfront, visitors can enjoy open views across Plymouth Sound, explore cultural landmarks, or sample fresh seafood that reflects the region’s strong connection to the ocean. From its rich naval heritage to its relaxed coastal atmosphere, Plymouth provides an engaging and authentic experience for travellers arriving by sea.
Facing the Atlantic Ocean on the northwestern coast of Spain, A Coruña is a port city with a strong connection to the sea. Its long waterfront promenade stretches for several kilometers, perfect for a walk with views of waves crashing against the rocks and beaches scattered along the way.The old town is home to narrow streets, traditional taverns and the lively Plaza de María Pita, named after the city’s local heroine. At the tip of the peninsula stands the Tower of Hercules, the oldest working lighthouse in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.A Coruña is also known for its local seafood, served fresh in simple restaurants by the harbor, and for its contemporary culture, with museums, galleries and modern architecture.With easy access to nearby coastal villages and natural parks, A Coruña offers a good balance between city life and the sea.

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.

Norway, tourist cruise
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.
Marek Kowalski
training cruise in the North Sea
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.
