Information

Aboard a Dutch Tall Ship or executive ship, you will experience SAIL up close! You will receive a warm welcome at one of our SAIL Villages, the specially equipped reception locations in the Western Port Area. Accompanied by a hostess, you will be taken to the booked ship where the captain and crew will give you a warm welcome.

Thousands of lights aboard the ships illuminate and connect the vibrant heart of SAIL. The hundreds of boats entering the Oranjehaven create an unprecedented dynamic. From your ship, you will have a great view of this spectacle and of the imposing Tall Ships. All evenings are festively concluded with a spectacular show that you will not soon forget.
