Götheborg of Sweden is the world's largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship, an 18th century replica of the original Götheborg that sank outside of Gothenburg in 1745, and will create great attention wherever she goes. We are now on expedition, sailing in Europe in both 2022 and 2023. Read our latest news here and scroll down to the bottom of this page to sign up for our newsletter.
We have arrived in London, and we were greeted with style by the Londoners! Passing Tower Bridge at 08:30 in the morning, thousands of onlookers were lining the quaysides to see the ship. We are now moored at Thames Quay in the South Dock in Canary Wharf, and will be open to visitors during the stopover.
We are now headed for London, after four sunny and warm days in the Norwegian capital Oslo. Thank you Oslo for hosting us for a few days, and thank you to everyone who came and visited us. Oslo is the last stop in the Nordic countries before we head south on our great Asia Expedition 2022/2023.
Do you want to join us on a great Biscayan adventure? This is a great opportunity to sail with us on the longest sailing leg this year! STAS (Sail Training Association of Sweden) has decided to give a grant to five people 18–25 years of age applying to Leg 8: The Biscayan Adventure – Bremerhaven to Lisbon!
Thank you for these days Copenhagen! It has been a lovely few days. Moored at the quay by the Nordre Toldbod area and close to many of the landmarks (the little mermaid), kastellet and all the beautiful statues was an honour. Now we are heading to Oslo!
It is fifteen years since the ship last visited London, in May 2007 on the way home from the first Asia expedition. Now it's time again for the ship to sail up the River Thames and greet the Londoners. We will be docked at South Dock Quay in Canary Wharf. Come and see the majestic arrival, with both shanties and ceremonial flags. Ticket sales are now open for 9-11 August.
We are now moored at the quay by Nedre Tolbold, in Copenhagen! We are here until Sunday 24 July, and are open to visitors Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Hope to see you!
As we set sail from Stockholm, the long rivalry between the second city Göteborg and the capital lays buried, as the Ship Götheborg was given pride of place at Skeppsbrokajen 105 by Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s Old Town.
We have arrived in lovely Stockholm! We are moored at Skeppsbrokajen 105, in the west side of the Old Town in central Stockholm. We are here until the Thursday 14 July, and open to visitors Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Hope to see you!
The last four stopovers on the 2022 part of the Asia Expedition 2022/2023 are now finalised. They are Malaga, Nice, Valetta and Barcelona. The winter stopover will be Barcelona. The ship will arrive in Barcelona 27 October and stay until March 2023.
As we sail for Stockholm, we say a warm and heartfelt thank you to beautiful Helsinki for hosting us for a few days. We were spoiled by the beautiful weather that you laid on for us. Also, we could not have hoped for a more beautiful view, as Götheborg was moored by the south quay where crew and visitors got a view of the city Cathedral and surrounding architecture.
We are hiring Deck Officers with a passion for sailing on traditional ships, and 2nd Cooks with a passion for serving food in exceptional surroundings. Join us and be part of a unique sailing expedition on board the world's largest wooden sailing ship as she heads out on a fantastic voyage to Asia!
Some changes will be made to the sailing leg from Helsinki to Stockholm, and arrival at the stopover in Stockholm will be moved to a few days later. This is due to a visit to the drydock (in Stockholm) that we want to make with the ship, while we are still in Northern Europe.
