Cruise description:

The traditional sailing ship Iris embarks on its exciting journey from Wilhelmshaven to Rotterdam. After you have come on board and got to know your fellow sailors and the ship's crew, the captain will show you how to find your way around on board. A little later, for the first time, it's time to cast off!

You set sail and take a cure on Rotterdam. However, before you arrive in the Dutch port city in South Holland, there are many great sailing lessons to be enjoyed on board the Iris. Even newcomers to sailing will quickly feel at home and be able to help set the sails.

On your way you will stop at one or the other Wadden Sea island, each with its own charm. Be it the endless sandy beaches that invite you to take relaxing walks or well-developed bike paths that enable you to discover even more of your surroundings. The small harbor towns also invite you to linger with numerous cafés. Possible destinations are, for example, the only German offshore island of Helgoland or the very popular Dutch island of Terschelling. Scheveningen, the beach district of The Hague, can also be a possible stop on your route. As with all sailing trips, it always depends on the wind and weather where you will moor the next day.

Together with your fellow sailors, you will prepare delicious meals that you will eat in good company and have the opportunity to review what you have experienced.
Full of new impressions and with many new stories to tell, you will probably disembark the Iris in Rotterdam with a heavy heart. But as the saying goes: You always meet twice in life!

If you want to make your return journey more relaxed, you can stay on board one more night. The overnight stay costs € 45.00 per person and you can stay on board until Monday, October 9th, 2023/10 a.m.

Including full board, harbor fees, final cleaning, bed linen, tourist tax.
