Bowen´s Wharf
Newport, RI

Draken is expected to arrive in Newport, RI, sometime in the late afternoon on May 19, at Bowen´s Wharf. In Newport, we will wait for the Dutch yacht transport ship Stadiongracht to arrive. Draken is expected to be loaded onboard Stationgracht on May 26 outside of Newport Harbor. Stadiongracht will then take Draken home to Norway.
Bowen´s Wharf Marina is a private marina, and it might not be possible to come that close to the ship. But you can at least catch a glimpse of her there.

Norway

We will return with information on the possibility of seeing the ship in Norway.

 
 

The Draken Stopover Experience

During the tours you have the opportunity to take part of the Draken Stopover Experience. Each Draken stopover offers a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for visitors to relive history in a way never before experienced.
