Every cruise is more than a journey - it's memories that last long after you step ashore. Our participants share their stories, emotions and moments that are hard to put into words... but which we try to capture right here.
I thought it would just be a holiday. It was a journey that cleared my soul. Every sunrise on deck reminded me that you can live slower and deeper.

Wylde Swan is a striking two-masted tall ship schooner, offering authentic and adventurous sailing cruises for travelers who want a real experience under sail. Originally built in 1920 as a Baltic herring carrier, she was later completely rebuilt into one of the most powerful and comfortable schooners operating today. At over 60 meters in length, Wylde Swan delivers true tall ship performance. Her two-mast schooner rig is optimized for efficient, fast sailing, making every voyage dynamic and wind-driven. Guests are invited to actively participate—hoisting sails, steering the ship, or standing watch—or simply relax on deck and enjoy the motion of a vessel built to sail. Below deck, Wylde Swan blends tradition with modern comfort. She offers comfortable cabins, modern bathrooms, underfloor heating, and a spacious panoramic saloon filled with natural light. These amenities make her especially popular for longer sailing cruises, expedition-style voyages, and shoulder-season trips where comfort matters. Known for her strong emphasis on sail training, sustainability, and seamanship, Wylde Swan is operated by an experienced professional crew who create a welcoming, inclusive onboard atmosphere. Whether sailing coastal routes, crossing open seas, or joining special tall ship events, every voyage is shaped by teamwork, wind, and exploration. If you’re looking to book a tall ship cruise, a hands-on sailing holiday, or an unforgettable adventure at sea, Wylde Swan offers the perfect mix of power, history, and comfort—without the crowds.
