Stunning Szczecin Comes to Life for a Final Parade and Prizes
With the final days of The Tall Ships Races 2024 upon us, the Tall Ships fleet took part in a grand Crew Parade that took them through the heart of the Polish city before the final Prize Giving Ceremony of the series…
Before the ceremony, the diverse, international group of trainees paraded along a 3km route. Throughout the parade, the crews of the Tall Ships fleet gave onlookers a vibrant and dazzling display of energy and vibrancy that has been a hallmark of 2024’s race series.
Following the parade, the crews gathered at the main stage for the final Prize Giving ceremony of the Tall Ships Races 2024. Race Director, Magda Makowska, presented the awards that celebrated the achievements made by the fleet in Race Three, as well as the final standings of the series overall.

Torbay Cup
Mizuki Saito (Roald Amundsen)
The Torbay Cup is awarded to a trainee under 26 years of age for outstanding individual achievement and personal effort during The Tall Ships Races.
Hailing from Japan, Mizuki has travelled a great distance to join the races, bringing with her a dedication and warmth that has touched the entire crew of the Roald Amundsen. Despite being the only Japanese person on our vessel during this leg, Mizuki did not let this hold her back from throwing herself into day-to-day life onboard.
This mutual exchange created a unique, inclusive environment where the whole crew were able to celebrate diversity and learn from each other daily.

About The Tall Ships Races 2024
The Tall Ships Races 2024 began on Thursday 27 June and continues through until Monday 5 August, with three exhilarating races and two scenic Cruise-in-Company legs. With Host Ports from five countries – Lithuania, Finland, Estonia, the Åland Islands and Poland – The Tall Ships Races 2024 will take in all the Baltic region has to offer.
The event takes the majestic Tall Ships fleet back to the Baltic Sea for the first time since 2017. During our last visit, over four million visitors came to see the Tall Ships, and we’re sure that 2024 will be just as spectacular.
