ARC Baltic

A summer cruise in company around the Baltic Sea, covering five countries in 1000 miles and one month

ENTER ARC BALTIC
Request an Information Pack

ARC Baltic is a cruise in company, visiting five countries over one month and a thousand miles of sailing. The rally showcases some of the region's rich heritage, natural beauty and cosmopolitan cities, led by a rally team with in-depth local knowledge.

ARC Baltic is perfect as a stand alone summer adventure, or as an introduction to a longer cruise exploring this fascinating region. The rally starts in Stralsund, easily accessible to North Sea and English Channel sailors via the Kiel Canal, and convenient for boats based in western Sweden and Denmark. The rally concludes at Bullandö Marina, the ideal location for exploring the beautiful Stockholm archipelago and Sweden's capital city.

The rally is a mix of coastal and offshore sailing, with the longest passage around 200NM. Unlike our transocean rallies, we do not require specific boat safety equipment, but every crew member must have an inflatable combined lifejacket-harness with accessories to meet our Safety Equipment Requirements.
