Our programme during this trip

Embarkation

T/S Saeftinghe will be ready for you in Stavanger, Norway. Embarkation is scheduled on Saturday 22 August 2026 from 17:00 onwards.
This one-week journey is open to everyone – whether you are completely new to sailing or simply looking for an Out Of The Ordinary way to experience Norway’s fjords.

Our Program

This inspiring sailing trip takes us from Stavanger to Bergen, exploring the fjords, islands and coastal landscapes in between. We sail only day passages, giving us time to discover sheltered anchorages, visit small fishing villages and enjoy the stunning natural surroundings.
Each evening we moor in a harbour or anchor in a quiet bay, creating space for relaxation, good food and connection with the group. Along the way we search for the hidden gems of Western Norway – those places off the beaten track where nature and simplicity are at their purest.

Disembarkation

The voyage ends in Bergen, Norway, on Saturday morning 29 August 2026 after breakfast.

For whom is this trip suitable?

With our voyages, we aim to introduce beginners to sailing and the ocean on the one hand, and experienced sailors who want to do something different on the other. But of course, not every trip is the same... That's why we distinguish between heaviness and effort. That way you have an idea of what you can, should and should expect.

This trip has 1 iceberg and is sailed in day trips.

These voyages are open to everyone. We sail exclusively day passages, without overnight crossings. In the evenings we moor safely in a harbour or drop anchor in a quiet bay. The program remains flexible: in case of less favourable weather we look for an alternative together. Perfect for those who want to get acquainted with sailing, or simply enjoy a relaxed yet adventurous stay on board. One iceberg stands for low-threshold adventure, where discovery and enjoyment are at the heart of the experience.
