Tall Ship Morgenster Voyage: Pasaia to Shoreham (17 – 25 May 2026)

Set sail from the Basque Country and cross the Bay of Biscay on an unforgettable 8-day adventure aboard the Tall Ship Morgenster. From Pasaia to Shoreham-by-Sea, this voyage blends the excitement of a true sea passage with the simple pleasures of life under sail. Wind, waves, and the company of fellow adventurers.

Sailing the Bay of Biscay

This voyage is for those who love the open sea. Leaving the sheltered harbor of Pasaia, we set a course north across the Bay of Biscay, one of Europe’s most storied stretches of water. Depending on wind and weather, we may make a short stop along the way, or sail straight across to the English coast in one bold sweep.

For centuries, this route has challenged sailors and inspired legends. Now it’s your turn to feel the pulse of the ocean, to stand at the helm, to hoist the square sails, and to share in the timeless rhythm of the waves.

No sailing experience? No problem. The Morgenster’s friendly crew will show you the ropes (literally). You’re welcome to join the watches, help with sail handling, or simply relax on deck and enjoy the thrill of a living, breathing sailing ship beneath your feet.

Life on Board the Morgenster

Each day at sea brings something new: fresh winds, glowing sunsets, shared laughter at the mess table, and the gentle creak of the rigging at night. The Tall Ship Morgenster is more than just a vessel, she’s a floating community. You’ll be part of a crew that includes people from all over the world, united by a shared sense of adventure.

As we near the English coast, you’ll feel the satisfaction of completing a proper passage. Not just a journey from A to B, but an experience that connects you with the ocean and the history of sailing itself.

Our destination, Shoreham-by-Sea, welcomes us with its historic harbor and the sense of land rediscovered. You’ll step ashore with sea legs, new friends, and plenty of stories to tell.

Why This Voyage?

Because this is real sailing, authentic, adventurous, and full of heart. The Tall Ship Morgenster offers a rare opportunity to cross one of Europe’s classic sea routes on a traditional square-rigged ship, guided by an experienced and welcoming crew.

You’ll discover what sailors have always known: that the journey matters more than the destination, and that every wave brings a new sense of wonder.
