International Tall Ships Cruise in Company 2025 Aberdeen to Kristiansand
Tall Ship Races & Regattas
Aberdeen, UK - Kristiansand, Norway
Unlike other legs of the race series, the Cruise in Company is a relaxed cruise rather than a race. Throughout this cruise, the tall and small ships will have the opportunity to stop in a number of ports who will greet the crews with festivities and celebrations.
This voyage is the perfect chance to experience all that the Uk and Norway have to offer. An epic journey crossing the North sea visiting historical ports, diverse dining, cultural experiences, and much more before arriving in Kristiansand for further festivities.

Life on a sailing voyage
On a sailing voyage we never use the word itinerary, as skippers will always be aiming for the best sailing and shore landings for the forecast and most idyllic or sheltered anchors and ports. They are as keen as you to include some of the highlights describe, but you have to go with Mother Nature, not fight her. The description below is based on what we think might be possible, based on past trips, or experience, but nothing is guaranteed on a sailing voyage. If the following voyage description is not fulfilled for any reason, Maybe Sailing and Maybe Sailing Youth Initiative cannot be held responsible.
The International Tall Ships Races are a unique opportunity for individuals to be involved and take part in a world class event. On Maybe and all other participating ships, at least 50% of the crew will be young people. Maybe is happy for over 25 year old crew to sign up for the adventure of this tall ships race as long as they are prepared to enter into the spirit of what is essentially a young persons challenge and social event. If you sign up for the challenge on Maybe you will be joining many other Ships and like minded adventurers to pit your wits at sea, in one of the greatest races on earth. You really are part of the crew and absolutely vital to the running of the ship.
