The first stopover on the European Tour 2023 will be beautiful Sète in the south of France, also called known as “Venice of the Languedoc” for its network of canals. Between 23–27 March will be moored at Quai d'Alger at the heart of Sète. With the release of the first sailing destination of the European Tour 2023, the first and last stopover are now official.
Sète in France will be the first stopover on the European Tour 2023, before Götheborg heads towards it's home port Gothenburg, for the grand finale of this year's sailing. Götheborg will leave Barcelona 20 March 2023, and after only a short sail trip will reach Sète on Friday 23 March. Four more stopovers are planned between Sète and Gothenburg, all to be announced shortly.
Arriving right at the beginning of June, Götheborg of Sweden will play an important role in the celebration of the city of Gothenburg’s celebration of its 400-year anniversary in June 2023. The Swedish East India Company and its ships played a central role in the development and history of the city of Gothenburg, and Götheborg of Sweden is a symbol of the era that laid the foundation of what Gothenburg is today. We are therefore delighted to play an important role in the great celebrations.
We now offer a unique opportunity to sail for free on board the Götheborg during the first six weeks of this year’s sailing adventure. Sign on in Barcelona mid-March and sign off in the Brittany/Normandie area right at the end of April. We promise a great sailing adventure in the Mediterranean, through the Straits of Gibraltar, along the coast of Portugal and across the Bay of Biscay. This is a bucket list sailing adventure that you don’t want to miss!
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.
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?
