The expedition of the Nadezhda sailing ship is under way. At present, the sailing ship is deployed in the Mediterranean Sea where it replenished supplies near the coasts of Malta and set off to Port Said (the Arab Republic of Egypt).

During the mooring on the island of the Mediterranean Sea, Nevelskiy Maritime State University cadets who underwent training aboard the ship held several patriotic and sportive events.

On May 9 the celebrations marking Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War took place aboard the ship. During the solemn ceremony, the state colors of the Russian Federation were hoisted. Captain Sergei Vorobyov congratulated the ship's crew and cadets with the Victory Day. In the evening cadets organized gala concert.

The Spartakiad has also started aboard the ship. Cadets passed GTO (“Ready for Labor and Defense”) norms under the leadership of Master of Sports, Olympic medalist (silver medal in bobsledding) in Turin Alexei Seliverstov. The project is being realized within the events of the all-Russian sports complex program “Ready for Labor and Defense”. One of the priorities is to make physical culture, sports and healthy lifestyle popular among young people.
