Station guiding

We have station guiding on board when in port. That means that you follow a marked route around the ship and the ship’s deckhands are stationed in different places around the ship, ready to tell you about the ship, sailing on board and the European Tour 2023. 

Welcome on board!

On board Götheborg you will visit the beautiful weather deck with the helm, capstan and ship’s bell. Sundeck offers great views of the ship and masts, and down on gun deck there are ten impressive cannons. Don’t miss the two pieces from the original ship, one piece by the historical cupboard with porcelain and chalk pipes on gun deck, and the other one recessed into the helm.

Come prepared with all your questions!

Where to find us

Götheborg of Sweden is moored at Port Vell, Moll de Bosch i Alsina, at Rambla de Mar. Come and see us from the quayside or visit us during our opening hours. Welcome!
