Everyone can sail with Christian Radich. Sailing with us is a

positive challenge, both physically and mentally, and it is a unique

opportunity to experience one of the world’s most famous wind -

jammers. On board you will find new friends from various

countries. Christian Radich has had trainees from up till 13

na tions on one leg - a truly international crew!

As trainee, you will participate in the duties on board according to

your own condition and interests. No previous knowledge is re-

quired in order to join this historical ship. We hope we can sail

quite much, but the weather may force us to use engine on parts of

the voyage. Everyone will join in on the duties; however it is not

mandatory to enter the rig. During calm seas, trainees often learn

knots, sailing skills and other seamanship.

To join a voyage, the age limit is 15 years old (on departure date),

12 years when sailing with parents. For participants over 70, a

medical certificate of fitness must be presented. There is no upper

age limit, but you must be fit enough to actively participate in

some of the work on board.

Join the Christian Radich voyages and prepare for a life changing

experience!

Oslo-Bergen via Farsund: June 26th – July 1st

The first jubilee voyage starts in Oslo and proceeds south around

the Norwegian coastline and up to Bergen. Southwards, we will

sail through Skagerrak – perhaps as far as getting a glimpse of

Denmark, before setting course for Farsund. This lovely town has a

proud maritime history. Whilst the ship is open for tourists and

residents of Farsund, the trainees will experience a guided tour to

Lista’s beautiful beaches. In the evening we will continue our voy-

age to Bergen via spectacular coastal areas from Jæren to Bergen.

Bergen-Tromsø: July 2nd – 9th

During the voyage to Tromsø, we will pass through Norway’s

spectacular coastal areas. The fjords, islands and mountains are

strikingly beautiful. Trainees can expect some good sailing as we

approach the Helgeland archipelago in the north. Here are photo

subjects on the assembly line, and we may meet the impressive sea

eagles on our way.

Next is Lofoten, which is one of Norway’s most impressive areas

with majestic mountain walls rising up from the sea and the mid-

night sun! Depending on the weather and safety considerations,

the captain will decide on the route through this spectacular land -

scape, to ensure that the trainees will have a memorable experi-

ence. After Lofoten, we pass Vesterålen, Andøya and the island of

Senja, before we end in Tromsø - a city famous for its nightlife.

During summer, the sun shines all night long!

During this voyage, we will include as much sailing as we possibly

can according to weather and safety considerations. There are

plenty of opportunities for short stops along our way, such as the

glacier Svartisen, Træna, and Trollfjorden.

The voyages 2012

Tromsø - Hammerfest via North Cape: July 11th – 13th

Hammerfest - Tromsø via North Cape: July 15th -17th

Experiencing the true north of Europe is something many have on

their list of desired tourist experiences. During the voyage to

Hammerfest, you will experience just that – including Troms' im-

pressive mountains and Finnmark's remarkable coastline. Imagine

that, being on board the world's most beautiful fully rigged ship

on her 75th anniversary voyage! Our route takes us around Mager-

øya close to Honningsvåg, before we will see the North Cape, the

northernmost point of Europe. In Hammerfest, we will join

another celebration, namely the city's birthday, which is celebrated

the entire week. The leg back from Hammerfest has the same

contents, but we might opt for a slightly different route.

Please note our special offer on combining one of these legs with

the Bergen-Tromsø or Tromsø-Bodø voyages.

Tromsø-Bodø: July 19th – 23rd

The spectacular landscapes of Lofoten, Vestfjorden and Vesterålen

attract tourists from all over the world. We have plenty of time to

investigate this stunning area. Trainees will see numerous islands,

picturesque fishing villages, white sandy beaches and mountains

that rise more than 1000 meters above sea level. You will experi-

ence sailing, tourist experiences and perhaps catching enough fish

to feed everyone on board. Daylight will persist 24/7 and you will

hardly go to sleep, – only have a strong desire for experiencing

more of this fantastic scenery.

We will meet the famous “Hurtigruten” cruise ships several times

along the way - perhaps in the narrow Trollfjorden if we are lucky.

Other remarkable spots include Svolvær, Henningsvær, Værøy and

Røst. According to wind and weather, there might be opportuni-

ties to go ashore.

Bodø-Trondheim: July 25th – Aug. 1st

During this voyage, we have plenty of time to explore Helgeland,

a coastline less crowded than Lofoten, but just as fantastic! Here,

you will see magnificent former fishing villages with many restored

houses that are now used as cottages. There are more islands than

you can count and in the horizon you can spot Træna. This fishing

village has its origin from almost 9000 years ago. Further on, we

find Lovund, Rødøy, Dønna and Vega, and between these famous

spots there are a number of islands with unique bird life. On the

mainland we can observe the glacier Svartisen between the high

mountains. Further south, we can see the famous group of moun-

tains called The Seven Sisters.

We are planning a stop in Brønnøysund, from where we will take a

short bus ride (included) and go for a walk through the hole in the

Torghatten mountain. During our stay ashore there may be other

events on board, but your luggage will be well taken care of.

Towards Trondheim, we look forward to fair winds and much

sailing.

Ålesund - Stavanger, with Jazz concerts

in Haugesund: Aug. 7th-12th

Imagine seeing the west coast of Norway from the world's most

beautiful full-rigged ship on her 75th anniversary-voyage! Hardly

anything can match experiencing the west coast landscape from

Christian Radich - sailing through fjords, passing through small,

picturesque places and having numerous great experiences together

with fellow trainees. We will anchor in Haugesund, at this year's

Sildajazz (“Herring-jazz”), which is one of the largest jazz festivals

in Norway attracting about 50,000 visitors annually!

You can join many free concerts and we will get access to concert

tickets at reasonable prices. During this stay, the ship will go for a

fjord cruise or have visiting tourists on board. You may stay on board

the two nights we are in town - it is included in the price. All trai-

nees can join us on the last day’s fjord cruise across Boknafjorden to

Stavanger, when we also will invite other passengers on board.

Stavanger-Oslo: Aug. 13th -17th

In August, the water is still warm. The summer is coming to an end,

but the coast is still as beautiful and there is plenty to see! Hopefully,

the wind will yield good sailing experiences along the south coast,

also named the Norwegian gold coast due to nice weather conditions

and its charming archipelago. We may see Skagen in Denmark on

the way home or even the Swedish Koster islands. On the way

through the Oslo fjord, we look forward to a warm welcome from

Oslo after an eventful summer.

Sightseeing in the cities

Together with the local tourist offices, we offer exciting excursions in

Bodø, Tromsø, Hammerfest and Trondheim at an extra cost. Tourist

offices will also help you with hotel accommodation if necessary.


Practicalities

Christian Radich can accommodate 80 trainees. Each trainee will be

assigned to one of three watch teams which has 4 hours on duty and 8

hours off - both day and night. Among your duties are lookout, fire-

and safety patrols, sail manoeuvres and steering, all performed under

professional supervision. In particular, the sail manoeuvres are deman-

ding, but very spectacular. Entering the rig is the ultimate event to

many, but it is not mandatory. The trainees sleep either in hammocks or

fixed beds in two comfortable, air-conditioned orlops (dormitories)

below deck. The ship has modern shower facilities, serves 3 excellent

meals per day and has a small slope chest where you may buy souvenirs,

toothpaste, snacks etc.

Special clothing or other equipment is not necessary. Rainwear and

warm, windproof clothes are perhaps the most important things to

remember.

Further information regarding what to bring along

will be sent to you with your trainee handbook after

registration.

Christian Radich is one of the world’s most famous sailing

ships. She was built in 1937 and is celebrating her 75th

anniversary in 2012. Christian Radich sailed as a training

ship until 1998 and almost 17000 Norwegian students have

had their basic marine education on board. The ship is well

known from the movie “Windjammer” (1958) and the

TV series “The Onedin Line” (1971-80).

During summer season, the national pride Christian Radich

offers sail voyages for trainees and school classes.

Teambuilding adventures for companies and private parties

are getting more and more popular. During winter, we sail

for the Norwegian Navy, only interrupted by sail voyages in

Southern Europe. For more information, please see

www.radich.no.

A professional, permanent crew of 15-20 persons will intro-

duce you to life on board the ship and make you familiar

with 1360 m2 of sails and 9.000 meters of rope. They will

also supervise you at sea in order to make your stay on

board Norway’s most magnificent sailing ship a safe and

unique experience.
