Aberglauben an Bord der PEKING

Aberglauben an Bord der PEKING



Red socks, animals on board and superstition on board.Superstition plays a big role in the life of a hardened sailor. For example, a sailor had to step on board with his right foot before going to sea, women and cats were forbidden and he was not allowed to whistle during a sailing trip. Every third Sunday of the month, during this tour on board, we tell you about other rituals and myths that boost sailors' morale and were meant to overcome the dangers of the wild ocean.HOW TO GET YOUR TICKETPlease select the available start time from the calendar below.Up to four people can be registered per booking.HOW THE TOURS WORKPlease report to the ticket booth directly in front of the PEKING 15 minutes before the tour begins.The PEKING is currently not wheelchair accessible.
