The frigate Shtandart, a faithful replica of the 18th-century ship, is heading south for a season of adventurous sailing. This autumn and winter, the vessel will leave France, cross the Atlantic into the Mediterranean, and reach Turkey, offering a chance to join the voyages.

Sailing Schedule Until October

The Shtandart’s autumn passages combine open-sea voyages with historic coastal routes:

  • 05–11 September — La Rochelle – La Rochelle : A circular voyage to get acquainted with the ship and prepare for longer journeys.

This year’s program continues into late autumn with a special voyage along Turkey’s southern coast:

A Living Piece of Maritime History

The Shtandart is more than a ship — it is a floating museum and a living classroom of traditional seamanship. Every voyage combines the romance of tall-ship sailing with the challenge of real seafaring, giving participants a chance to step back in time and experience the golden age of sail.
