Tall Ships Races 2026: Race 3 Sail Training

Our programme during this trip

Embarkation

Step on board in Stavanger, Norway, on 24 July. After settling in with your fellow trainees and watch team, you prepare for the final challenge of the Tall Ships Races 2026.

Programme

This final leg of about 400 nautical miles brings us back to Denmark. Together with your new shipmates you will quickly learn the rhythm of watches, steering the vessel and trimming the sails. It is a unique opportunity to take part in the grand finale of the Tall Ships Races and experience the thrill of competition up close. We are scheduled to arrive in Aalborg on 30 July. The following day features the Crew Parade, Award Ceremony and Crew Party, together with the entire fleet.

Disembarkation

We arrive in Aalborg, Denmark, on 30 July. After the closing festivities and a final night on board, you disembark in the morning of 1 August, completing your Tall Ships Races 2026 adventure.

For whom is this trip suitable?

On each voyage you will see one to three icebergs. This is our way of showing how demanding or challenging a trip will be. The more icebergs, the more action, longer sailing days and less comfort. One iceberg means an easier trip, while three icebergs stand for an intensive challenge.

Are you ready to take on the challenge?

The races are 3-iceberg voyages: intense, adventurous and full of action. Together with young people from all over the world you form a team and truly learn how to sail a Tall Ship. You stand watch, navigate day and night, and feel the thrill of competition. It is tough, but that’s exactly what makes it unforgettable.
