Board the tall ship in Dunkirk for a coastal passage along northern France, arriving in Rouen just as the Armada begins—a world-renowned gathering of historic tall ships.
Leaving Dunkirk’s harbor, we set course southwest through the English Channel toward the mouth of the Seine.

Getting involved is entirely up to you, and there is always plenty of time to relax and take in the shifting coastline.
