Sailing from Stavanger in Norway to New York City. To honor, among others, those who left in 1825 in search of a better life. History must not be forgotten, and is highly relevant in light of the current situation in the world.

On July 4, 2025, the emigrant ship Restauration sets sail for New York, 200 years after the first Norwegian emigration in recent times.
This reminds us of an important part of Norwegian history and our earlier struggle for better living conditions.
The voyage will be part of the national 200th anniversary celebrations in both Norway and North America.

Public celebration in the city of Stavanger on July 4, 2025.
Their Majesties King Harald and Queen Sonja will participate in the historic departure of the Restauration.

A historical retrospective and comparison: see newspaper articles with pictures from the public celebration during the 150th anniversary in the city of Stavanger in 1975 here…

Sailing in 2025

July 4, 2025, RESTAURATION will begin her adventurous voyage towards New York, or America as they said in 1825, when 52 hopeful people started their 98-day journey towards a new and unknown future, arriving in New York City on October 9th.

The crossing will be the largest historical event of the bicentennial commemoration of Norwegian emigration to North America in modern times.

More information, including a recording of the announcement about our new voyage, the emigration from Norway, and the film “The Emigrants”.
