Join the One Ocean Expedition: Seattle to San Fransisco

Featured Events

Join Maritime Blue aboard the Norwegian tall ship, Statsraad Lehmkuhl for her voyage between Seattle and San Francisco from October 27 – November 3, 2025. The ship will play a large role in One Ocean Week Seattle events and programming, October 20-26. The eight-day charter will cost $1,800 for adults and is part of the 2025 – 2026 One Ocean Expedition. We will set sail from Seattle, WA on Monday, October 27 and arrive Monday, November 3 in the Port of San Francisco, CA. What to expect – Life at Sea Active Participation: You’re not just a passenger — you’re crew. Expect to be involved in the day-to-day sailing tasks: hoisting sails, steering the ship, climbing the rigging (if you’re up for it), and participating in watches (yes, even the 4 a.m. ones). Watch System: The voyage runs on a 24-hour schedule, divided into “watches” — typically 4-hour shifts of work, navigation, lookout duty, and sail handling. It’s a great way to experience the rhythm of traditional seafaring. No Prior Experience Needed: The crew teaches you everything you need to know — it’s all about learning by doing. Sustainability Focus: The ship acts as a floating classroom and research vessel, emphasizing ocean science, sustainability, and international cooperation. Lectures & Workshops: You’ll often attend talks from marine scientists, environmental advocates, and leadership experts. It’s part voyage, part seminar. Communal Living: Bunks are in shared quarters (think hammocks or small beds in open sleeping areas). It’s cozy and promotes camaraderie. Simple Comforts: Facilities are basic but functional. It’s not luxury cruising — it’s about the experience, not the frills. Stunning Views: Sunrises and sunsets at sea, dolphins racing alongside the hull, and star-filled skies, free from light pollution — they’re magical. Global Crew Vibes: You’ll likely meet people from around the world, creating a multicultural, collaborative spirit. One Ocean Expedition - Seattle Visit As part of the UN Decade on Ocean Science and Sustainable Development, the historic tall ship Statsraad Lehmkuhl is circumnavigating the globe aimed at raising awareness and sharing knowledge about the crucial importance of the ocean for a sustainable future on a global scale.
