Information about the tour:
A guide, who has also sailed with us before, will take you around the ship and talk about the history of the ship, the Swedish East India Company, and what it is like to sail an 18th century ship today. Next to the ship we have also opened up our workshop to visitors, and there is an interesting historical exhibition.

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?
