Expo East Indiaman Götheborg 2.0

The Swedish Ship Götheborg is open for visitors every day throughout the summer! For the first time, you are given the opportunity to gain a deeper insight into the maintenance work on land when we open up the Ships Workshop! Also, visit our new pop-up store, explore a historic exhibition in our ships hall and get a guided tour on board the ship.

Expo East Indiaman Götheborg 2.0

From Thursday, 2nd of July, we will be open for visitors daily between 11 AM and 4 PM until Sunday, 16th of August. To spread extra joy and showcase our operations at home, we are now launching the new program “Expo East Indiaman Götheborg 2.0”.

We have created a pop-up store on our pier that is accessible for everyone. Those who buy an entrance will get a look into our ship workshop for the first time ever. Here you will really get to feel the smell of tar. To this, we add a historical exhibition in our Ships Hall where visitors can immerse themselves in the Swedish East India Company's travels to China in the 18th century. We also show a film from our Expedition to China 2005. There will also be the opportunity to take and feel various items we exhibit over the summer. Last, but not least, all paying guests are offered a guided tour onboard the ship!

Safety and distance are important to us and we are following the guidelines from the authorities. Through careful planning, we have created a flow-through of our premises and ship so that visitors feel safe. There will also be a limited number of 40 people per hour to minimize crowds. Every hour we also offer guided tours in English.

Tickets are purchased through Ticketmaster or on-site at our Pop-up store, subject to availability.

Götheborg of Sweden is the world’s largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship and a unique replica of an 18th century Swedish East India Company ship that sank outside of Gothenburg in 1745. Today, the ship operates with paying deckhands who sail on board to sail along between ports and learn how to sail an 18th century ship. In ports, it is also a popular visitor destination. The ship Götheborg is owned SOIC AB and operated by Rederi Götheborg AB. Both SOIC AB and Rederi Götheborg AB are fully owned subsidiaries of Greencarrier Group, a family-owned company with over 40 years of history specialising in logistics solutions.
