Even though June is Pride Month, Brigs celebrates diversity amongst our crew all year round.

“When was the last time you did something for the first time?”

Brigs invites you to join our Adult Voyage from Windsor to Port Elgin, June 22nd to June 26th.

Step aboard the TS Playfair and become an active member of the ship’s company, learning the ropes (literally!) as well as how to steer, stand lookout, learn the names of the ship’s parts and join in the essential elements of communal life on board, including cooking and cleaning.

You will learn to navigate the seaway as we pass beneath the impressive illuminated bridges that join Canada and the United States. Onwards we head towards Windsor, leaving Lake Erie and sail through the St. Clair River to Sarnia. We’ll say hello to Lake Huron and end our voyage in beautiful Port Elgin.

No sailing experience is required. The ship’s crew will teach you everything you need to know.
