The Windjammer movie records an actual voyage of the Norwegian sail Windjammer training ship Christian Radich. It was the first movie to be shot in Cinemiracle and 7-track stereo sound and gave the viewers a panoramic image of the 17,500 nautical mile voyage. The motion picture was produced by Louis de Rochemont.

The ship and its Norwegian crew were filmed while sailing from Oslo, across the Atlantic to the Caribbean, to New York City, Portsmouth in New Hampshire, and then back home to Oslo. The movie featured a score by Morton Gould, with additional musical performances by cellist Pablo Casals and Arthur Fiedler conducting the Boston Pops Orchestra.

The world-premiere was at Grauman's Chinese Theatre, Hollywood on April 8th, 1958 and the movie ran for 36 weeks. The film was also released at selected cinemas in America, Canada, and Europe which were specially equipped to project the movie. It was particularly popular in the Scandinavian nations.
