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!
Ticket sales for the Gibraltar stopover in April is now open. Götheborg will be moored at Mid Harbour Marina 6–10 April. Book your tickets online now to save your space on board! Subject to availability tickets are also sold on site at the ship.
This weekend (18–19 March) will be our last in Barcelona. Monday 20 March at 10:00 we head out after nearly five months in this beautiful city. As this is the last chance to visit the ship in Barcelona, don't miss out! We're open Saturday and Sunday, and the ship will have full crew and of course look her best.
Are you 18–25 and want to sail with us? This is a great opportunity to get part of the payment payed by a grant! STAS (Sail Training Association of Sweden) has decided to give a grant of 2500 SEK each to four people 18–25 years of age. With only four grants to hand out, don't hesitate to apply!
