2017

The regatta began in Halmstad, Sweden. The crews embarked there on their great adventure. The first stage ended in the Finnish port of Kotka, from where the ships sailed to the Finnish port of Turku. Their last stop on their way to Szczecin was the Lithuanian city of Klaipėda. Two weekends and a great many attractions separated the two locations. No one could be in any doubt that the heart of Szczecin was beating on the water.

First there were spectacular sailing ships, diverse attractions, festivals and concerts. Later there was clubbing and colourful powders. Finally were the firefighting displays, dazzling fireworks, water acrobatics, electro-folk music on the stage and boat racing.

More than 2 million locals and visitors participated in the events. They visited the Chrobry Embankment, Łasztownia, the boulevards, the coast, Grodzka Island and all the locations where additional events were taking place.

2013

A month-long cruise in the Baltic Sea, visiting four ports along the way, with the grand finale in Szczecin. The first port visited by the vessels was Aarhus, Denmark, followed by Helsinki, the capital of Finland. The last stop before Szczecin was Riga, in Latvia.

We had the opportunity to admire such vessels as: Staatsraad Lehmkuhl, Cisne Branco, Gulden Leeuw, Tre Kronor af Stockholm and Mir. The 2013 edition of the regatta was organised with even more panache than in 2007.

The 2 river banks were combined in order to double the available area. There were 2 amusement parks and 3 stages for concerts played by artists from the ESKA Music Awards and the star of the event, Nelly Furtado.

About 100 sailing ships and yachts called into our port, with the event attracting about 2.5 million visitors.

2007

During The Tall Ships Races in 2007, the most beautiful sailing ships from all over the world visited Szczecin. On Chrobry Embankment we could admire: Cuauhtemoc, Lord Nelson, Sedov and Kruzenstern.

Daily fiestas lasted from morning to late night. 4 days of fun, exploring the decks of sailing ships, conversations with crew members, shanty concerts, exhibitions, happenings, performances ...

One of the greatest attractions was the Crew Parade: a colourful procession of sailors and residents making its way through the streets of the city accompanied by brass bands.
