Sail from La Rochelle to Tanger Aboard the Shtandart
Set sail this September on an unforgettable voyage from the historic French port of La Rochelle to the vibrant town of Tanger. Aboard the Shtandart — a replica of an 18th-century frigate — you’ll experience the raw beauty of the Bay of Biscay and the Atlantic Ocean while stepping back in time to the golden age of sailing.
Become Crew on a Living Piece of History
This is not a luxury cruise — it’s a thrilling tall ship adventure. You’ll be part of the crew and learn traditional seamanship:
Set and trim sails; take part in watch rotations
Climb the rigging to furl the sails and feel the wind from the top
Navigate using compass, coastal features, and stars
Take the helm and guide the 34-meter frigate along the Atlantic coast
You don’t need any sailing experience! The professional crew will train and support you every step of the way.
A Journey Between Cultures and Coasts
From La Rochelle’s fortified harbor to the magical shores of Tanger, this route is steeped in maritime history — once sailed by merchants, explorers, and adventurers. Expect Atlantic swells, changing winds, and spectacular sunsets over open water.
Join the Shtandart this September and step into a world of traditional sailing, teamwork, and unforgettable adventure.
Accommodation and Amenities:
