Cruise-in-Company
Welcome to the Southern Coast
– a home for community and adventure
As the Tall Ships Races 2025 set sail towards Southern Norway, a coastline brimming with warm welcomes, stunning scenery, and vibrant harbors awaits.
For the third time, Kristiansand proudly serves as host, and this year, we also invite you to explore five unique ports: Sirevåg, Farsund, Båly, Kristiansand, and Arendal. Here, everything is designed to help ships and crews share experiences, build a sense of community, and forge connections across nationalities, generations, and cultures.
With Southern Norway’s rich maritime traditions as our foundation, we aim to create a safe and inspiring setting for fellowship, learning, and growth – both at sea and onshore. Our harbours are more than places to dock; they are lively meeting points where stories are exchanged, friendships are formed, and futures are shaped.
We are excited to welcome you to a journey that is about more than destinations – it’s about the people you meet along the way.
The Southern Coast is ready to share its hospitality, history, and sense of community.
Welcome aboard and welcome ashore!
The celebration awaits 30 July to 2 August!
From Wednesday, 30 July, to Saturday, 2 August, the Southern Coast will come alive with the joy and excitement of the Tall Ships Races. Four welcoming guest harbors are ready to greet ships of all sizes taking part in the Cruise-in-Company event. Adventure, camaraderie, and unforgettable moments await – let the journey begin!
