Experience a special fall cruise on the Zuiderzee, a traditional sailing ship that will take you on a varied sailing trip on the Baltic Sea. The cruise begins and ends in Kiel and combines memorable sailing experiences with the special atmosphere of fall at sea.

Along the way, we’ll experience the Baltic Sea at its calmest and most atmospheric. Clear air, wide horizons, colorful coastal landscapes, and the unique atmosphere of fall make this trip a special experience. Depending on the wind and weather, we’ll call at charming harbors and enjoy the diversity of the Baltic Sea coast from a whole new perspective.

Aboard the Zuiderzee, you can look forward to a real sailing experience. Together with the crew and the other passengers, you can actively pitch in with the sailing—whether it’s setting and trimming the sails, at the helm, or helping with deck maneuvers. No prior experience is required; everyone can participate to the best of their ability and experience the fascination of traditional sailing.

Life on board is also all about community. Thanks to the hands-on full-board program, meals are prepared together and enjoyed in a convivial atmosphere. After an eventful day of sailing, cozy evenings in the salon or on deck are the perfect time to reflect on the day’s events and enjoy the special atmosphere at sea.

Whether it’s enjoying a fresh breeze on deck, sharing a meal together, or chatting under the starry sky, this fall cruise offers the perfect opportunity to leave everyday life behind and experience the Baltic Sea to the fullest.

After its launch in 1909, the ZUIDERZEE set sail as a cargo ship and transported goods across the world's oceans for decades. She received her first engine in 1921, and a year later the interior was stylishly extended - a successful combination of function and maritime elegance. Since 1991, the "Grand Old Lady" has been sailing mainly on the Baltic Sea and has been delighting her guests with charm, history and comfort ever since. The ZUIDERZEE is a powerful yet extremely reliable sailing ship. She offers generous space on deck - ideal for both active sailing maneuvers and moments of peace and quiet. The elegant teak deck in particular invites you to relax and linger while the vastness of the sea passes you by. Below deck, the ship impresses with a cozy day room in which a fully equipped kitchen is harmoniously integrated. The cozy cabins offer retreats with a feel-good character. The ZUIDERZEE is therefore perfect for groups who want to cook together and spend the evenings in convivial company. Whether conferences, seminar trips, school trips or an unforgettable family vacation - the ZUIDERZEE offers the perfect setting for a wide variety of occasions. The friendly crew are always happy to lend a helping hand with setting sail, are happy to let guests take the helm themselves and are always on hand with knowledge, advice and warmth.
