The Ships
The Stavanger region will be visited by a number of beautiful sailing ships during The Tall Ships Races in July 2026
We expect to welcome over 50 sailing ships and nearly two thousand young sailors from several nations during the Tall Ships event in Stavanger.
The ships are divided into four classes, depending on size and type of rig. The A class is for the largest ships and the D class for the smallest.
During the event it will be possible to go on board some of the largest ships who offer "open ship visits" while moored along Vågen.
Several ships offer rental for day sailings, deck events, concerts or other activities on board for invited guests. All income goes directly to the ships and helps to keep them active.
The final list of registered ships will be ready and publised in spring 2026.
