4. ‘Here Comes The Sun’ - The Beatles

If you listen to this song, you can already see the cruise City morning dawn experience. You feel the morning sun on your face as the heart of SAIL slowly awakens. The first crowds appear on the quays and the first activities are about to begin. While enjoying a cup of coffee or tea with some goodies, you can enjoy the beautiful nautical scenery in peace.

 

5. ‘Viva La Vida’ - Colplay 

With this song, you accompany the Tall Ships back to sea during the SAIL-Out Classic. A spectacular farewell and bombastic end to five days of fraternisation on AND by the water, the end of #SAIL2025.

‘My ideal SAIL song is ‘On My Way Home’ by Pentatonix. I discovered this song during my Study Abroad, where it helped me with my homesickness. The song symbolises coming home and therefore fits perfectly with the SAIL-out City sailing package, where you sail along on a luxury salon boat, atmospheric passenger ship or small luxury sailing vessel while the Tall Ships set course back home.’ - Suzanne Wester, Team Hospitality
