On 6 December 2024, the bows of the sailing vessel Dar Młodzieży will be awash
with the light of the biggest Christmas tree decoration in the Pomeranian region.The 200 metre long fairy lights attached to the mainmast of Dar Młodzieży, GMU’s sail training ship, will be turned on during St Nicholas Day, bringing the Christmas spirit to locals and tourists alike.
Turning on the lights
The lights will be turned on at 16:00, illuminating the tallest Christmas tree - at its highest point 60 metres above sea level. All those who wish to attend will be able to watch the turning on of the lights on the Pomeranian Quay at the end of the South Pier in Gdynia (opposite the aquarium).
Visiting the Dar Młodzieży
The crew of Dar Młodzieży will be on hand to show visitors around the decks and rooms of the biggest Polish frigate between 15:00 and 17:00.
Shanty Choir on Board
Whilst visiting the ship or watching on the quay, visitors will be treated to the maritime sounds of the Zawisza Czarny shanty choir - the biggest men’s choir of its type in Poland. The choir will perform well-known shanty songs on deck between the hours of 15:30-15:50 and 16:10-16:30.
