Sail

The Noorderlicht, originally built in 1910 in Flensburg, Germany, was a three-masted schooner sailing mostly in Baltic waters. In 1991, the present owners purchased the hull which they completely re-rigged and refitted. The Noorderlicht now has a well-balanced two-masted schooner rig and, with its qualified captain and experienced crew, is capable of sailing the seven seas. The Noorderlicht has accommodation for 20 travellers in comfortable twin cabins. All cabins have upper and lower berths, a cupboard and wash basin. The shared shower (four) and toilet (five) facilities are conveniently located. Instead of portholes, the cabins have frosted glass in the ceiling so the daylight can shine through. Whilst sailing, passengers are actively encouraged to participate in handling the sails, taking the helm, and being on night watch.
