Voyage 9

CHECK-IN Alicante Oct 03 16:00

ARRIVAL Malaga Oct 08 09:00

Price per person: NOK 9900,Alicante is a good starting-point for a voyage. It is easy access from all over to this popular tourist-place. The distance between Alicante and Malaga is not far, but sailing is drifting and going where the winds take you. On this voyage, we have plenty of time to just be on board the ship and feel the winds, the weather and the Mediterranean! On former voyages, we have even anchored and jumped in the water. That is something! After four days in the Mediterranean, we moor in Malaga, another city known for sun and beautiful beaches. The city has a long history. It is actually one of the world’s oldest cities, founded in the 700’s. Enjoy a day or two here before you travel home.

CHRISTIAN RADICH

Christian Radich was built by Framnæs Mech. Yard in 1937. She was built as a sail training ship: the orlops (dormitories) had capacity for berthing 80-90 students (maximum 60 today after renovation), a large galley for learning to cook, carpentry training, and earlier there was also a machine shop on board (where the galley is now) for the training of engineers. The purpose of the training ship was to train sailors. Sailing-ships were the usual vessels around the turn of the century and that is why the sailing ships continued as a school ship later on.

Not many can measure themselves against her, neither in size, beauty nor qualities. To participate on a voyage aboard the “Christian Radich” is an adventure as well as an opportunity to learn something about the life on board a sailing ship. – And who knows, maybe an opportunity to learn something about yourself too?

LIFE ON BOARD

Have you ever dreamed about the thrill of taking the helm and steering hundreds of tons of majestic sailing ship across the ocean?

Welcome to a voyage of discovery aboard for a Sea Europe voyage and we promise you intimate contact with the ocean.

During your time aboard, you can experience steering, climbing aloft, setting the sails and living on a towering beauty of a tall ship, you can do it while enjoying the sea, the horizon and the Mediterranean.

No days will be the same. One could see you setting & trimming sails, steering, navigating and learning the ways of the open sea; the next you might spend enjoying the sea with the sun in your face, swaying in a hammock with a good book, taking photos or discussing the ways of the world with your fellow adventurers over a cup of coffee. As a trainee, you may find yourself taking the helm at night, watching dolphins play in the bow waves and whales pass by, while the others sleep and the only sound is the wind in the sails. And you will remember falling asleep as moonlight and phosphorescence flash in a dark sea, listening to the endless sound of breaking bow waves.

Join Sea Europe and every day will bring new beginnings, new sights and sounds, new horizons and new adventures. Welcome to an oceanic experience of a lifetime!

A CORUÑA

TALL SHIP FESTIVAL

HARBOURS

Sea Europe starts in Oslo in August and the last port of Call is Malaga in early October. We will visit 5 countries and 10 different port of Calls, from larger cities to smaller Mediterranean towns. All of them unique and with different experiences waiting for you. In Bremerhaven, a sailingfestival “Lütte Sail Bremerhaven” is waiting for those who love the sights of old sailing ships. The Tall Ship Ports have prepared for the event a couple of years before they can welcome the fleet. Sail-ships in all sizes arrive in the harbour, from the big Class A ships to the smaller sailboats. They are welcomed by local boats an people waving on the shore. When the ships are moored at the quayside and the trainees can go ashore, they are met by a traditional festival. Musicians, activities for the whole family and trucks with local food along the quayside. All the ships invite people to visit them at “open ship” and it is a great feeling to meet fellow trainees from other ships.

The harbour organize sports-events, sailing-parade and activities for the crew. The price giving ceremony and a huge firework usually ends it all. After three days, the ships are ready for the sea again, either another race or the more relaxed cruise-in-company. After the final price-giving ceremony in Cadiz Christian Radich is headed for adventures in the Mediterranean.

In the Mediterranean cities, you can enjoy the sun, swim in the ocean and walk around in the Old City. They are all built around a fortress, defending the city in the old days, every place has it’s own history, interesting to explore, to see, feel and taste.
