Highlights from Day One
There’s nothing like the spectacle of Tall Ships arriving in port and Aarhus was no different. We captured just a few of the magical moments on film.
About Aarhus
Aarhus is Denmark’s second-largest city, and its unique bay boasts new urban harbour areas. It’ll provide a wonderful setting for the large contingent of Tall Ships, along with the huge crowds of local residents and visitors. It also has a number of museums, restaurants and historical architecture.
This interesting, historic city can trace its maritime history back to the days of the Vikings and is no stranger to the Tall Ships. It hosted events in 2007 and 2013 and the fleet’s third visit has already got off to a fantastic start.
THE TALL SHIPS RACES 2019
This year, Europe’s largest, free, family festival has visited north-west Europe, with a fleet of over 60 international Tall and Small Ships. The three-leg event has see vessels sailing from Aalborg, Denmark to Fredrikstad, Norway. Following this they enjoyed a stunning cruise-in-company along the coast of Norway to Bergen and a nail-biting race back to Aarhus, Denmark.
The event is open to young people aged 15-25, giving them the opportunity to get involved in a competitive event whilst also gaining skills in sailing, communication and building confidence. You can check out our dedicated event pages to find out how you can take part in future races!
