— CABIN CHARTER ROSTOCK–SZCZECIN AFTER THE HANSE SAIL —

Come aboard in Rostock on the evening of 8 August 2027 and experience a special cabin charter from Rostock to Szczecin following the Hanse Sail. While the impressions of the great maritime weekend are still lingering in the harbour, anticipation for the coming days sailing eastward is already building on board.

The next morning it's time to cast off. From Rostock we head down the Warnow and out onto the Baltic Sea. Ahead of you lie varied sailing areas: open coastal stretches, sheltered lagoons, traditional Hanseatic port towns, the Peene, the Szczecin Lagoon and finally Szczecin in Poland.

This voyage is ideal for anyone who, after the Hanse Sail, doesn't just want to look at ships but wants to come sailing themselves. Sailing experience is not required. Anyone who fancies it can help actively on deck, handle lines, join in setting sails or take the helm under instruction. Anyone who prefers a quieter experience is just as welcome.

— WHY THIS VOYAGE IS SPECIAL —

• 5-day cabin charter from Rostock to Szczecin
• Starting directly after the Hanse Sail in Rostock
• One-way trip from Germany to Poland
• Baltic Sea, lagoons, Peene and Szczecin Lagoon on one route
• Active sailing possible without sailing experience
• Possible stops in Stralsund, Peenemünde, Greifswald or Świnoujście
• Varied mix of sailing, nature, harbours and life on board
• Comfortable cabins, participatory full board and bed linen included
• Ideal for beginners, Baltic enthusiasts and anyone looking for a short, special sailing voyage

— FROM ROSTOCK DOWN THE WARNOW ONTO THE BALTIC SEA —

The voyage begins in Rostock, one of the most important port towns on the German Baltic coast. Boarding takes place in the evening, so you can arrive at leisure, get to know the vessel and spend your first night on board.

The next morning we leave Rostock via the Warnow and set course for the Baltic Sea. This very first leg conveys the special feeling of a voyage under sail: the harbour falls astern, the view widens, and with every nautical mile the feeling grows that you really are on passage.

The exact route will be determined underway by wind, weather and conditions. That's precisely what makes this trip exciting and varied. There's a clear destination, but no rigid timetable.

— POSSIBLE ROUTE TOWARDS STRALSUND, PEENE AND SZCZECIN LAGOON —

One possible route runs along the Baltic coast towards Stralsund. The Hanseatic town with its old quarter, brick gables, harbour and views across to Rügen is a fitting stop on the way east.

From there the voyage can continue through more sheltered waters and via the Peene towards the Szczecin Lagoon. This sailing area shows another side of the Baltic: less open sea, more inland and lagoon character, wide expanses of water, reed-lined shores, small harbours and a quiet, natural atmosphere.

The destination of the voyage is Szczecin. The city doesn't lie directly on the open Baltic, but is connected to the sea via the lagoon and the Oder. That's exactly what gives this cabin charter its special character: it combines classic Baltic sailing with an exciting transition into a historically and nautically interesting inland waterway.

— POSSIBLE INTERMEDIATE STOPS UNDERWAY —

Depending on weather, wind direction, time and how the trip unfolds, various intermediate stops may come into consideration. Possible calls include Stralsund, Peenemünde, Greifswald, Świnoujście or other harbours along the route.

Peenemünde lies in the north of Usedom and is an interesting place with maritime and technical history. Greifswald combines Hanseatic flair, a university town and proximity to the lagoon region. Świnoujście is a lively harbour town on the Polish Baltic coast and may also play a role depending on the route.

Which places are actually called at will be decided by the crew underway. The wind may favour a route through more sheltered waters, whilst in suitable conditions a passage outside round Usedom is also possible. If weather, time and course allow, even a detour towards Denmark may come into consideration.

— ACTIVE SAILING ON BOARD MARIE GALANTE —

On board Marie Galante you're invited to become part of the trip. You can help set sails, handle lines, prepare manoeuvres, stand at the helm or simply observe how vessel, wind and crew work together.

Joining in is expressly encouraged, but not compulsory. Everyone participates as they wish and are able. It's precisely this openness that makes the voyage interesting both for beginners and for people who have sailed before.

You don't need sailing experience. The crew will explain the routines on board and involve you according to your interest. What matters above all is curiosity, enthusiasm for life on board and enjoyment in being on passage together.

— EXPERIENCING THE BALTIC, LAGOONS AND HAFF —

This cabin charter Rostock–Szczecin is particularly appealing because it connects different sailing areas. At the outset, sailing on the Baltic Sea takes centre stage. Depending on the route, lagoons, river sections, the Szczecin Lagoon and finally the approach to Szczecin follow later.

This creates a varied mix of open sailing passages, sheltered sections, port towns and quiet natural moments. Sometimes the sailing itself is in the foreground, sometimes arriving in a new harbour, a walk ashore or the view across a wide expanse of water.

Anyone who enjoys travelling without knowing every day in advance will like the character of this trip. The direction is clear, but the way there remains flexible.

— SET SAIL AFTER THE HANSE SAIL —

Starting immediately after the Hanse Sail makes this voyage particularly special. First the grand maritime atmosphere in Rostock, then going aboard yourself and setting sail: this turns a harbour visit into a real sailing voyage.

Instead of just admiring the tall ships from the pier, in the days that follow you experience for yourself what it's like to be underway with wind, weather and crew. The transition from the vibrant Hanse Sail atmosphere to the quieter voyage towards Szczecin gives the trip its own appeal.

This combination of major maritime event, traditional sailing ship and active Baltic voyage makes the trip particularly interesting for anyone who wants to experience sailing, not just watch it.

— LIFE ABOARD THE MARIE GALANTE —

The Marie Galante is a traditional sailing ship with a personal atmosphere. Aboard you travel in a small community and share the days with people who, like you, are keen on wind, water, harbours and the special life on board.

The voyage includes full board with participation. This means: catering is provided, and guests help out as part of life on board. Shared meals, small tasks on board and conversations on deck are all part of this way of travelling.

You are accommodated, depending on your booking, in a shared cabin, single cabin, double cabin or deluxe double cabin with two lower berths. A complete set of bed linen is included in the price.

— WHO IS THIS CABIN CHARTER SUITABLE FOR? —

This cabin charter from Rostock to Szczecin suits you well if you:

• want to sail yourself after the Hanse Sail
• are looking for a short but special Baltic voyage
• want to sail from Germany to Poland under sail
• want to actively help out without needing to bring sailing experience
• are open to weather-dependent route decisions

— ARRIVAL IN SZCZECIN —

Arrival in Szczecin is planned for Thursday. After several days under sail, the voyage ends in a city that has a special maritime character thanks to its location on the Oder, the lagoon and the Baltic.

This trip thus connects two fascinating port cities and several very different waterscapes: Rostock and the Warnow, the Baltic Sea, possible stops such as Stralsund or Peenemünde, the Szczecin Lagoon and finally Szczecin.

The return journey from Szczecin can be easily organised by train or other connections, depending on where you live. If you wish, you can also combine the trip with a short stay in Szczecin.
