Sweden, Åland and Finland

In the port of Sweden's capital, our crew will welcome you aboard. Embarkation takes place at 7 p.m., followed by a relaxed dinner where you can get to know the crew and your fellow travelers. You'll immediately feel at home in the lounges and on the deck planks of the Eye of the Wind.

You can reach Stockholm from many German airports without a layover and within a few hours.

Our sailing area: across the Baltic Sea to Finland

We begin by exploring the rocky archipelago off Stockholm. Here in the tranquil coastal waters, evocative moments create perfect holiday memories. Across the vast expanse of the Baltic Sea, the wind pushes us northeast. The constant rise and fall of the ship in the waves, the vastness of the sea, and the gentle creaking of the rigging are the perfect ingredients for a relaxing holiday experience. This is your time to discover the ship as a haven of peace, where you can leave behind the information overload and hectic pace of everyday life.

Summer, sea and island time

Åland has 6,700 inhabited islands and an additional 20,000 smaller islets and skerries. The port and shipping town of Mariehamn lies on a narrow isthmus between two bays and the harbors of Västerhamn and Österhamn. Mariehamn is known as "the city of a thousand linden trees" because numerous linden trees line the avenue that runs through the town. Discover a town that has much to offer – shops, restaurants, and cafés, as well as beautiful nature and architecture. With the most sunshine in Scandinavia, Åland offers long days on the beach and on the red cliffs, as well as relaxing cycling, hiking, and kayaking trips.
A visit to the Bomarsund fortress and the impressive Maritime Museum is highly recommended. Sights, museums, medieval churches and galleries, lighthouses and islands, hiking trails and observation towers, cafes, restaurants and farm shops are the pearls of Åland waiting to be discovered.

This is where you board:
Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, stretches across 14 islands and blends historical splendor with modern architecture. At its heart lies Gamla Stan, the Old Town with its narrow streets, colorful houses, and the Royal Palace, one of the largest palaces in Europe. On the island of Djurgården is the interactive ABBA Museum, where visitors can immerse themselves in the world of the famous pop group, admire costumes, and even record their own songs.

Also located on Djurgården is Skansen, the world's oldest open-air museum, showcasing Swedish history and wildlife. Art enthusiasts can visit the Moderna Museet and the colorful metro stations, considered the world's longest art gallery. For excursions, the archipelago with its thousands of islands offers a unique maritime experience, giving Stockholm its distinctive character.

This is where you disembark:
Turku is considered Finland's oldest city and was the country's political and cultural center until 1812. Founded in the 13th century, the city quickly developed into an important trading center on the Baltic Sea. The medieval Turku Castle and Turku Cathedral, considered a national shrine of Finland, still bear witness to this history.

Museums, cafes, and historic warehouses line the riverbanks. The Aboa Vetus & Ars Nova combines exposed medieval streets with modern art, vividly bringing the city's history to life. In the former prison complex of Kakola, industrial charm meets contemporary gastronomy. Turku is also the gateway to the Finnish archipelago, which we plan to explore on this sailing trip.
