Helping crew unwind is integral to the IGY experience, and this year’s IGY crew events calendar is packed with opportunities for fun, laughter, thrills, and relaxation.
The programme features local and international events in the Mediterranean, the U.S., Mexico, and the Caribbean, plus an exciting collection of exclusive parties for IGY Trident members.
Europe – culture, sailing competitions, and spookiness
As the cruising season peaks in Europe, there’s plenty of fun to be had in the Mediterranean. The colourful port of Sète in the South of France is a great place for crew to enjoy. The city continues its summer-long programme of cultural and music events with a poetry festival (July 18-26) and open-air cinema events (August 15-19). Catch up with fellow crew at the Thursday happy hour in the Alexandre Bar at IGY Sète Marina.
