Defined by the Sea

Gdynia Maritime University owns and operates three training ships, the world-famous tall ship Dar Młodzieży – the flagship of our University, city, and country – an exceptional ambassador for Poland; a modern research and training ship Horyzont II, capable of sailing in polar waters; and the research vessel IMOR, equipped with the most recent technologies. 

Our vessels sail in the polar region, crossing the boundless waters of the seas 
and oceans with students on board. They are also the place of work of our scientists 
researching the Polish coastal zone.
