Tall Ship Morgenster Voyage: Oostende to Flushing (31 May – 5 June 2026)

After the festivities of Oostende voor Anker, the Tall Ship Morgenster spreads her sails once more! Join us for a relaxed 5-day coastal sailing voyage from Oostende to Flushing (Vlissingen). A journey that offers the perfect balance of adventure, sea breeze, and the joy of traditional sailing.

This voyage is ideal for anyone who wants to experience life aboard a real tall ship, explore beautiful coastal waters, and enjoy good company in a friendly, maritime atmosphere.

From Festival to Freedom

As the festival crowds wave us farewell, we set sail along the Belgian and Dutch coasts and most likely visit the UK coast breefly. With the wind as our guide, the Morgenster glides through the Channel approaches and into the North Sea. Sails full, crew smiling, and the sea stretching wide ahead.

Depending on the weather, we may visit one or two charming ports along the way. Think of peaceful harbors, cozy quaysides, and evenings filled with laughter and the sound of waves against the hull.

You’re welcome to join the crew and help sail the ship. Steering at the helm, hoisting the square sails, or learning the art of navigation. But you can just as easily relax on deck, feel the wind in your hair, and let the world drift by.

A Journey Through Maritime History

Sailing toward Flushing (Vlissingen) means retracing historic seafaring routes that once connected Flanders and Zeeland to the world. As we approach the Dutch coast, the sight of the dunes and the Scheldt estuary brings a sense of homecoming, even if it’s your first time aboard.

The Tall Ship Morgenster herself is part of that living history: a graceful, square-rigged ship built to share the traditions and teamwork of the great age of sail.

Life on Board the Morgenster

Days aboard the Morgenster flow with the rhythm of the sea. Teamwork, laughter, shared meals, and quiet moments watching the sun sink into the horizon. You’ll find yourself part of a small, international crew bound together by wind, weather, and adventure.

No sailing experience is needed. Our experienced crew is happy to teach you everything from knot-tying to setting sails, or you can simply enjoy the view and the voyage.

Why Join This Voyage?

Because it’s a perfect “in-between” adventure. Long enough to feel like a real sea journey, but relaxed enough to savor every moment. You’ll experience coastal sailing, teamwork, and the satisfaction of arriving under sail in the historic Dutch port of Flushing (Vlissingen).
