Check the voyage itinerary
Arriving in Nice, you are welcomed by a bright stretch of Riviera shoreline, busy harbour life, and hills rising behind the city. From the port, the old town, palm-lined seafront, and broad sweep of the Baie des Anges are all nearby, giving the place an elegant but relaxed Mediterranean feel.
Menton greets arriving ships with a bright Riviera shoreline, pastel buildings climbing above the harbour, and a calmer, more elegant atmosphere than many busier resort ports nearby. From the port, the old town, waterfront promenade, and the green hills rising behind the coast are all close enough to give a quick taste of this sunny corner of the French Mediterranean.
Arriving by sea, St. Tropez greets you with a glittering Riviera shoreline, a busy harbour, and hills lined with pale villas and umbrella pines. Near the waterfront you can soak up the chic, sun-drenched atmosphere of the old port and town, with pastel facades, cafés, and Mediterranean beaches close by.

Arriving in Sète, you come into a lively working harbour framed by canals, fishing boats, and the low Mediterranean coastline of southern France. Nearby, the old town, waterfront quays, sandy beaches, and views from Mont Saint-Clair give the place a sunny, salty atmosphere that feels both maritime and distinctly southern.
Arriving in Roses, you come into a broad bay framed by low hills, beaches and a busy marina, with the whitewashed town stretching along the waterfront nearby. The atmosphere is sunny and relaxed, with promenades, fishing boats and the rugged Costa Brava landscape close at hand beyond the harbour.
Arriving by ship, you first meet Barcelona as a broad working harbour backed by low hills, city blocks, and the bright Mediterranean light. Nearby, the waterfront and old city lead toward lively streets, markets, and famous modernist architecture, giving the city an energetic, stylish, and unmistakably Catalan atmosphere.

Frequently asked questions about tall ship cruises and sailing ships
Many leisure and introductory voyages accept guests without sailing experience. Training and expedition voyages may require active participation, minimum ages or a particular level of mobility. Check the operator's conditions for the exact voyage before booking.
Start with the operator's joining instructions because space, dress rules and required equipment vary by ship. Soft luggage, layered clothing, a waterproof outer layer, sun protection and operator-approved non-slip footwear are common recommendations. Ask a medical professional about suitable seasickness precautions if needed.
Choose a cruise on the Cruise Tall Ships site, click the offer and go to the operator's booking page. We do not charge fees – we connect you directly with the cruise organizer.
Choosing a tall ship cruise is more than just booking a vacation; it is an invitation to experience the timeless romance of the sea. Unlike modern, crowded cruise liners, a traditional sailing vessel offers an intimate atmosphere where the sound of the wind in the canvas replaces the hum of engines. Taking part in such a unique voyage allows you to connect with maritime heritage while enjoying the comforts of a modern leisure cruise. Whether it’s the thrill of seeing the horizon from a wooden deck, the spectacular sight of a full press of sail, or the chance to visit hidden coastal gems inaccessible to larger ships, a tall ship voyage offers a sense of freedom that is simply unmatched. It is the perfect choice for travelers seeking authenticity, tranquility, and a truly luxury sailing experience that stays with them long after they return to shore.
Tall ships cruises take place on many waters: Baltic, North Sea, Atlantic, Caribbean, Mediterranean and others. Each offer indicates the region and route.
Safety rules, vessel certification, briefings and required equipment depend on the ship, flag state, route and operator. Review the operator's current safety information and ask them directly about certification or accessibility before booking.
Follow our website and newsletter – we regularly add new cruises and news. You can also subscribe to the newsletter to receive information about offers.
Swimming requirements vary by operator and voyage. Do not assume that a life jacket removes an operator's swimming or mobility requirement; confirm the conditions for the specific departure.
