In this category, we can distinct 2 types of Tall ships:

1. The more luxurious Tall ships, offering great cabin comfort, fine dining, focus on relaxation and/or land excursion offers and no obligation but only nautical activity to be chosen by the guests on voluntary basis.

2. The mainly older ‘Windjammer’ or converted fishing or coastal cargo vessel where you can book as a trainee learning how to sail such a ship and working hard in keeping it up. Nevertheless most of these ships you need to pay for. Accommodation and food is often a kind of a youth hostel. But of course being up the masts in the Antarctica on the Bark ‘Europa’ is an unforgettable challenge, if you like to learn about your limits. There is nothing on any yacht to be compared with this kind of seamanship. On trips like this crew and trainees are normally insured under a P&I Insurance.

- For  "Sail Amsterdam",  ‘Hamburg Hafengeburtstag’,  "Hansesail", "Kieler week" , Festival Brest, or other ‘Windjammer’ events it is most of the time possible to book on one of these vessels for a day trip or as an incentive for a company. But this is more a happening than a sailing experience. 
- Some vessels do ‘School under Sails’ meaning they take – paying – pupils to be taught on a vessel while they do long distance voyages and train the pupils in sailing and seamanship as well as a training for life … Very recommendable.
