Spacious Salon & Fully Equipped Bar on Board

The Loth Lorien offers a welcoming and stylish salon and bar area for up to 40 guests – the heart of social life on board.
With warm wooden interiors, round portholes, and nautical charm, this classic lounge creates the perfect setting for events, dinners, and evening relaxation.

Whether you’re hosting a corporate event, enjoying a family celebration, or simply relaxing after a day at sea, the salon offers plenty of seating and an inviting atmosphere. The fully equipped onboard bar provides cold drinks, fine wines, and local specialties – always served with a view of the water.

With soft lighting, sea views through every porthole, and space for dancing, toasting, or storytelling, this salon is more than a room – it’s the soul of your tallship experience.

Professional Galley – Culinary Comforts on the High Seas

Aboard the Loth Lorien, culinary service is not an afterthought – it’s a central part of the onboard experience.
The vessel features a fully equipped professional galley that meets modern standards for maritime catering.

Fitted with a Convectomat oven, a 4-plate electric cooker, a commercial-grade dishwasher, and two refrigerators with 600 liters each, the galley ensures that food preparation for up to 90 guests runs smoothly and efficiently. Whether it’s fresh breakfasts, energizing lunches, or warm, multi-course dinners – the crew delivers with quality and care.

Designed for both efficiency and safety, the galley supports operations in all sea conditions. Although not open to guests, it is the engine behind the vessel’s hospitality – delivering culinary excellence for day tours, corporate events, and extended voyages alike.

Hidden Deck Whirlpool – Maritime Wellness, Discreetly Built In

At first glance, the Loth Lorien appears as a traditional 3-masted barkentine tallship – all sails, teak decks, and timeless design.
But beneath this classic charm lies a hidden surprise: a built-in whirlpool, seamlessly integrated into the upper deck.

Concealed beneath a flush teak cover, the whirlpool remains invisible during regular sailing, preserving the ship’s authentic appearance.
But once opened, it transforms into a luxurious spot for relaxation at sea – ideal after a day of active sailing, kiteboarding, or sightseeing.

Very few traditional tallships offer such an amenity, making Loth Lorien a unique blend of historic sailing atmosphere and
modern comfort. Whether you’re on a weekend cruise or hosting a sunset event, the deck whirlpool elevates the experience –
literally and figuratively.

Private Honeymoon Suite – Nautical Romance on Board

Hidden amid the steel hull and majestic rig of the Loth Lorien lies a serene and stylish escape: the ship’s private Honeymoon Suite. Originally designed as the captain’s quarters, this elegant cabin
has been lovingly upgraded to serve as a romantic hideaway for couples or a tranquil retreat for special guests.

Featuring a generous double bed, artistic wall décor, private sink, and warm ambient lighting, the suite is a unique blend of historic atmosphere and modern comfort. Subtle luxury details like a champagne station and custom lighting make this cabin unlike any other aboard a classic tallship.

Perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries, or VIP guests, this exclusive cabin offers privacy, personality, and a touch of magic – right in the heart of a 3-masted barkentine sailing across Northern Europe.

Cabins on Board – Comfortable, Flexible, and Perfect for Groups

The Loth Lorien offers spacious accommodation for up to 36 overnight guests, spread across 9 thoughtfully designed cabins. These include:

2 cabins for 6 guests (with private showers)
