Once again, Scheveningen will be the finishing post for a large international maritime event. Last year Scheveningen was the final harbour for the Volvo Ocean Race and this year dozens of large tall ships will be coming to the seaside resort from Thursday 20 June to Sunday 23 June as it becomes the finishing line for the Liberty Tall Ships Regatta. Starting in Rouen, the Liberty Regatta will be preceded by the Armada Rouen which will commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day.
The Hague is the international capital of peace and justice and has an attractive nautical meeting point with Scheveningen port. International law bridges oceans and unites countries across the continents in their quest for peace.
Many of the ships sail around the world and can only be seen at major international maritime events such as Sail Amsterdam and Sail at Scheveningen.
Sail along!
On each day of the event, you can enjoy a unique Tall Ships Experience – a sail along onboard the Wylde Swan. There are four sailings a day: at 11 am, 2 pm, 5 pm and 8.30 pm. On board, you become part of this maritime event and from the ship’s deck you’ll have a wonderful view of the huge fleet of Tall Ships moored up in Scheveningen.
After a short safety briefing, the ship will head out to sea and the sails will be hoisted – and if you like, you can assist the professional crew. During the sailing, we’ll serve delicious snacks and nibbles, and then, after about 1 ½ hours, we’ll head back to Scheveningen where you can enjoy a final cruise around the harbour to admire the largest ships from close by.
Ticket prices vary from €75 to €149 per person. Wylde Swan business relations receive €10 discount per person on an experience of their choice. At this moment we don’t know yet which sailings we will be scheduled for.
