TALL SHIPS RACES: IPSWICH TO LE HAVRE
*** NOW FULL ***
29th June - 6th July 2025
Sail with Excelsior from Ipswich to this year's Tall Ships Races kick-off in Le Havre, France. Depending on the weather, you'll sail the English and French coasts, and either make a North Sea or English Channel crossing to Normandy's largest city. Le Havre is bustling modern port, magnificently regenerated after its devastation during WWII. The city boasts iconic architectural heritage, a thriving cultural scene and is of course situated along the scenic Normandy coast. As part of the trip, you will get the opportunity to take part in all the festivities associated with the Tall Ships Races, including the Crew Parade and Crew Party (and more besides). Tall Ships, traditional ships and sail training vessels from all over Europe and beyond take part in this event, making it a spectacular festival for boat-lovers.
There is no age restriction to take part in these events, so this voyage is open to adults and young people aged 14+.
