Sailing ship - Morgenster
Sailing ship Morgenster
The inauguration of the sailing ship Morgenster was in May 2008. The ship in general is sailing in Northern European waters. Taking up to 36 trainees (24 in cabins, 12 in hammocks), the ship is especially designed for sail training and is participating in the annual tall ships races organized by Sail Training International.
| Day sail | up to 90 passengers |
| Evening sail | up to 90 passengers |
| Receptions | up to 100 passengers |
| Cruise | up to 36 passengers |
During the major maritime events the ship is available for corporate day and evening sail with up to 90 passengers.
The Morgenster is a brig, a two masted, filly square rigged sailing ship. Her beautiful rigging is based on the American clippers from the eighteenth century. The heavy British warships were helpless against the maneuverable and fast clippers from America. Sailing such a rigging is a great challenge for the trainees and great entertainment for the passengers while watching the crew handling the ship.
Beside the general summer operating in Northern Europe the Morgenster is also available in warm winter regions worldwide.
