Christian Radich

Go to bookings and prices Fast and magnificent! Only 71 years old, this super tuned Tall Ship is the youngest of all Nordic Tall Ships, but not lacking in speed. This sturdy & fast windjammer has won several races, is two times winner at the Tall Ships' Races 2005 and became first in 2006 during the legendary 50th Anniversary Tall Ships' Race from Torbay to Lisbon. This year the passionate 25- man crew will make an all-out effort to claim gold again and you can be a part of this team!

Accommodation

There is a comfortable lower deck, divided into two rooms, that can hold up to 80 people. This is where you sleep, eat, relax and follow theory classes on skills such as making knots. You can choose for 'fitted' bunks against the wall or for super relaxed hammocks to experience the ultimate nautical feel.

History

After having finished the construction of the windjammer Christian Radich in 1937, the vessel was brought into use as a trainee ship and remained exactly that until 1998, with only the Second World War as interruption. During this period it was also successful as a race ship and won several prices in the different races. Special detail: until 1983 women weren't allowed to sail the ship! Since 1999 the Christian Radich is a passionate competitor at many sailing events.

All the crew reacts promptly and even de masts bend over to starboard to see what’s going on. The goodbye-to-Antarctica sadness prompts everybody to feast their eyes on this last antarctic treat.

Somebody somewhere must have thrown a small fortune in the whale-machine. We get to see four whales playing together in a quarter of a mile circle around Europa. Every lack of a diving whale tail in any camera is made good.

The four are toying with us: disappearing and surface right next to our ship, swim under the ship from port to starboard, wave a white fin at us, demonstrate skills in backstroke… Antarctica does not let us go yet.

A ship full of people applauds the whale-show and is two bits less sad for the moment.
