Week long sailing programs for all ages
Sail aboard Sørlandet, a majestic 210 foot Class “A” square-rigged tall ship built in 1927, as we sail with a fleet of ships from around the world to Tall Ship Festivals at ports of call in all five Great Lakes.
Learn to sail a tall ship or just come along for the ride. All ages are welcome and no sailing experience is necessary. Our professional tall ship mariners will “teach you the ropes” – there are more than 200 on the Sørlandet – in our daily sail-training program.
This summer, do something different
You choose a level of participation based on your interests and capability – go aloft in the rig to set and stow sails, learn navigation, stand watch, take the helm, help the galley crew prepare a meal – it’s up to you.
Whether it’s the historic and scenic waterways of the Thousand Islands and St. Lawrence Seaway, Lake Superior’s dramatic natural beauty, starry nights on Lake Huron, a tall ship race, or a Parade of Sail into some of North America’s great cities, sailing the Great Lakes on one of the world’s most spectacular tall ships is the experience of a lifetime.
