Travel to your hotel

Tall Ships
Spend the day at the Tall Ships event viewing the ships as they are docked in the Port of Aberdeen. The city has a long and dramatic relationship with the sea – from the earliest days of trading, fishing and shipbuilding, to offshore energy.
More than 60 ships are expected to begin arriving from Saturday 19th July and these magnificent vessels are expected to attract hundreds of thousands of spectators to the city over the four day event.
