2025 World Rowing Tour

The World Rowing Tour is not a competition. There are no medals, no finals and no results to chase. The 2025 edition is based in Berlin, Germany and runs from 24 to 31 May, a multi-day touring event where rowers cover a route along the region's waterways over the course of the week.

The appeal is the journey rather than the clock. Participants row stage by stage through rivers, canals and lakes, taking in the scenery at a steady recreational pace and sharing the experience with rowers from different clubs and countries.

Evenings and rest stops are as much a part of the tour as the time on the water, with a social, unhurried spirit running through the whole week. It is rowing as travel and company, a chance to see a stretch of Germany from the seat of a boat.
