TALL SHIPS
Admire the tall ships from the air
Admire the tall ships from the Ferris wheel, during a helicopter flight or from the MAS and the Kaailine.
Scheldekaaien en dokken
On land, at sea and… from the air, you’ll have a magnificent view of the tall ships! Take a ride on the Ferris wheel, enjoy the view of the MAS and the Kaailine, or book a unique helicopter flight.
Ship spotting at the MAS…
Are you at the Event area north? Then climb up to the roof of the MAS for free and enjoy a beautiful view over the city harbour and the Scheldt. In the docks around the MAS, you can admire various tall ships, such as the Swan, Rupel, Orsa Maggiore or Jans Krogh.
… or from the Kaailine
On the footbridge next to the Steen, you’ll find yourself face to face with the masts of several majestic ships. Catch a glimpse of the Thalassa, Morgenster, Pascual Flores and more. Under the hangars of the Central event area, take a moment to relax with a snack and a drink.
Take a ride on the Ferris wheel
Board the Ferris wheel at the Event area South and enjoy sweeping views over the Scheldt quays and the city. From up here, you can admire the largest ships, such as the Statsraad Lehmkuhl and the Sorlandet, from above.
Book a unique helicopter flight
Experience the ultimate aerial adventure on a helicopter flight. Admire all the tall ships, the city and the harbour during a sightseeing flight lasting around 10 minutes. You’ll take off from a temporary helipad at the Blue Gate site. Book your place via Helimo.
