Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served each day in the banjer, galley duty is encouraged

2013 marks the 80-year anniversary of the historic voyage to Chicago in 1933. The Sørlandet was the first Norwegian School Ship to cross the Atlantic on her voyage to the Great Lakes with Chicago as the final port on her first North-American voyage.

The Sørlandet will take part in the Tall Ships Challenge –Great Lakes 2013 as the largest ship in the fleet. Plans and details on how to participate will be published soon.
