The ship is open to visitors on Wednesday and Thursday (15 and 16 June), and we are looking forward to welcoming visitors on board. Come and experience the atmosphere of an 18th century ship, and hear about the adventures of the past sailing leg from Gothenburg. 

We will be in Helsingborg 14–17 June, as part of H22 City Expo.
Departure from Helsingborg is at 16.00 on the 17th of June.

Next stop after Helsingborg is the Finnish capital of Helsinki, where we arrive 23 June. 

For anyone looking for a last minute adventure, we can still squeeze some deckhands into this sailing leg. The only requirement is that you are over 18 and can climb the rig on the ship. Sailing on board Götheborg is a unique adventure, so don't miss out. We hope to see you on board.  

About the Asia Expedition

In the same vein as in our history, the mission for this journey is to promote Swedish-Asian trade and create new business opportunities. The ship is the perfect platform for our partners. 

During the expedition, the ship will make stopovers in ports and cities along the route. We will invite thousands of visitors from the public on board to experience an 18th century ship. Hundreds of people will also sail with us as deckhands, joining different sailing legs. Deckhand are not required to have any sailing experience. They sail for the once in a lifetime experience.

Zumba på Ostindiefararen

30 June 2025

Den 17 juli kör vi Zumba®️ på Ostindiefararen! Vi har alltid dansat på skeppet, men nu är det dags att bjuda in Lena Hellmers Eberhard, som kommer att hålla i en dansklass ombord. Så här säger Lena om eventet: "Zumba®️Fitness är en träningsform vilken kombinerar dans och träning med rytmer, från främst latinamerikansk musik som salsa, merengue, reggaeton och cumbia.  Det är en energifylld träning som är rolig och enkel eftersom den känns mer som en dansfest. Zumba®️ Fitness är utformad för att förbättra kondition, styrka och koordination, samtidigt som det ger glädje.  Zumba®️ Fitness är populärt över hela världen och kan anpassas för olika åldersgrupper och träningsnivåer. Har du inte provat så kom till Ostindiefararen Götheborg på Eriksberg, pir 4 där du även kan känna historiens vingslag.
