Join the Esprit on her epic voyage from Copehnagen to Helsinki. Take part in a sailing festival in Halmstad and race the other vessels to Kotka, Finland, during the 61st Tall Ships Races. Sail for 3 weeks on a two-masted schooner, combining the discovery of new ports, exciting events, racing and leisurely sailing when the race is done. Sail along the beautiful Baltic Sea coast this summer to get your sea legs and make great sailing friends. Open to Windseekers between 15 and 26 years old.
Copenhagen, Denmark's clean, modern capital will win you over with its many districts, each with its distinctive character. Copenhagen has an abundance of water and many parks, so rent a bicycle and explore the city! You'll find architecture old and new, lovely waterfronts and squares, fountains, and of course the friendly inhabitants of the city. Copenhagen has a lot of great restaurants and bars, and in the summer plays host to several festivals. In the winter, its museums are worth a visit.
Helsinki is the capital city of Finland with a population of about 600,000 people. It has been established in 1550. Take a ferry to visit the Fortress of Suomenlinna or the Seurasaari Island and Open-Air Museum. If you prefer to stay on the mainland you can't miss the Rock Church - literally built into rocks. Other attractions include the Esplanadi Park, Hakaniemi Market and lots of museum. Fans of architecture cannot miss the Finnish National Theater and the Lutheran Chathedral.
