President Steinmeier Sails with Team Malizia on Board Malizia Explorer at Kieler Woche
Team Malizia had the honour of welcoming German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and a high-level delegation on board Malizia Explorer on the first day of Kieler Woche this Saturday 20 June 2026. As we headed out onto the Kiel fjord to follow the racing, we also shared insights into our Antarctic expeditions, onboard science and our mission to connect sailing, science and Ocean protection.
