Expedition 2022/2023

Great days at the Jubilee Festival

The 2nd of June we returned to our home port of Gothenburg to officially open the city of Gothenburg's 400-year jubilee with a gun salute. We also participated in the Jubilee Festival in Frihamnen 2–5 June, our last official stopover on the European Tour 2023. During our days in Frihamnen, we had over 7,000 people visiting us on board. Thank you for amazing days!

The Jubilee Festival was the start of the city of Gothenburg's 400-year jubilee, and what an amazing four days we had!! Sunshine, music, performances, circus, activities and thousands of people. 

The ship Götheborg was visible already from the other side of the bridge, Hisingsbron, and everyone who arrived to the festival on the water came really close up, as the ferries stopped just behind the ship. 

On the quayside next to the ship, Tordenskiöldarna had built an 18th century village with lots of activities, and Repslagarmuseet were on site to show the art of rope making. Altogether this made for a great atmosphere with games, music and fun. 

During our days in Frihamnen we had several events on board, and the ship was also open to visitors, who could walk around and have a look at the ship. In total we welcomed 7,000 visitors on board in just those few short days. Thank you to everyone who came on board!

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. Vi börjar kl 17!  Ta med dig vattenflaska och träningsskor och ditt hjärta så dansar vi tillsammans! ALLA kan vara med! Varmt välkomna"
