Spring is in the air, and here is our first sign!

Volunteer week to remove the ship's winter cover

26 March 2024

Spring is in the air and summer is not as far away as it used to be. This means, that we now need to remove the ship’s winter cover. Join us during a week in April and see the spring transformation for yourself!

Volunteer week to remove the ship's winter cover

We need 10 volunteers on the 22nd to 26th of April to help us to remove the ship’s winter cover. It is a work that require lots of hands but in the end, we can finally stand on deck and view the river again. As usual, lunch and fika are included, but not breakfast and dinner!

When here, you need to make your own breakfast and dinner but can use the kitchen. You can sleep on board if you’d like but need to bring bed linen, towels, toiletries, warm clothes to have underneath the work clothes since we are going to be outside all days. We provide work pants and bussarong/coveralls/rainwear. Bring shoes you are not afraid of getting dirty!

We also provide smell of tar, smiles and if we are lucky, some sunshine as well!

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"
