Ostindiefararen's Christmas market is here again!

It's time once again for a Christmas Market on the pier by the ship!

For three days, December 5 – 7, from 11:00 to 17:00 – the area will be filled with festive scents, lights, and exhibitors offering unique handicrafts and Christmas gifts, from ceramics and textiles to jewelry and woodwork.

Ostindiefararen's Christmas market is here again!

Children’s activities, warming food, and the premiere performance by Götheborg’s own shanty choir will create a lively and cozy atmosphere. The ship will be open for visitors throughout the entire event. Tickets to board the ship are sold separately.

At the market, you'll find:

  • Exhibitors with unique Christmas gifts and crafts
  • Activities for children, both onboard and on the pier
  • A chance to explore the ship Götheborg
  • Hot food and drinks to warm you in the winter chill
  • Traditional glögg and other festive treats

Zumba Onboard the Ship!

30 July 2026

Zumba® Fitness is a workout that combines dance and fitness to energetic rhythms, mainly inspired by Latin American music such as salsa, merengue, reggaeton, and cumbia. It's a fun, high-energy workout that feels more like a dance party than exercise. Zumba® Fitness is designed to improve cardiovascular fitness, strength, and coordination—all while bringing joy and positive energy.

We present a new guided tour!

08 July 2026

Join us on a guided tour from the city centre to the ship! We begin at Gustav Adolfs Square, where you will hear the story of Gothenburg’s founding. From there, we take a short walk, following the traces of the Swedish East India Company. Why did they travel to China? Who sailed on board, and what happened when the ships returned with their valuable cargoes?
