Our Svanen is carbon neutralBuilt in 1922 in Denmark of Danish oak frames, Our Svanen traded as a grain carrier between Denmark and Greenland for the Tuborg Beer Company until 1969. She was purchased in 1969 as a private vessel and extensively refitted to make wide-ranging ocean voyages, including service as a sail training vessel with the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets.
Our Svanen participated in the 1982 Tall Ships Race from Philadelphia to Portugal.
In 1986 after appearing at the World Expo in Vancouver, Svanen Sailed to England to join the Australian Bicentennial First Fleet Re-Enactment for the historic voyage to Sydney.
Being an inherent component of Sydney’s world famous harbour today, where she takes tourists and locals on unforgettable cruises, Our Svanen has set an example by becoming Australia’s first carbon neutral commercial vessel. The Svanen was certified NoCO2 by the Carbon Reduction Institute in January 2008 and will make your special cruise even more enjoyable now!
