Sail On: Voyages After Darwin
Original post: Another World Adventures
For the past 18 months a Dutch tall ship has been retracing the infamous expedition of Charles Darwin’s Beagle on an extraordinary conservation mission called Darwin200.
By the time the ship arrives back in the UK in July 2025, 640 guest crew from all walks of life will have been able to sail the ship between 30 ports over 40,000 nautical miles including many friends from the Another World Adventures community.
For those who missed out on the highly coveted places aboard we have good news!
The tall ship has recently launched its new sailing schedule for 2025 and beyond and invites adventure seekers to join them on board for the adventure of a lifetime.
See the full schedule below!
Atlantic Sailing Adventures
From September 2025 an exciting programme of voyages available for guest crew to book is now available in the UK, Portugal, Cape Verde Islands, Canary Islands, Suriname, Martinique, St Martin and the Bahamas for adventure seekers to join in.
If you’re looking for an ocean adventure at its best then look no further as this really is one of the world’s finest, fully restored historic tall ships, she’s a real monument of great cultural and historical value.
Over the past 30 years the crew has welcomed thousands of sailors and adventure seekers on board including royalty, politicians, presidents and pop stars, even once hosting a birthday party for Sir Tom Jones

Crew a Tall Ship
The vessel was the first Dutch commercial tall ship to sail to both the north and south poles and successfully tackle the infamous Cape Horn which she did again in 2025 during the Darwin200 mission!
Guest crew join for a hands on experience under the guidance of the professional crew. You’ll be involved in sail handling, look out, helm and more in a 4 on 8 off watch system with your fellow crewmates. All levels of sailing experience are welcome on board. You’ll find yourself in the company of complete newbies and salty seadogs who come together to sail this amazing vessel on great ocean adventures.
Life on board
The interior of the tall ship is a blend of classic maritime charm and modern comfort, featuring rich wooden paneling, brass fixtures, and a warm, traditional atmosphere – and even a piano!
Below deck, the spacious saloon serves as a communal hub with long wooden tables and cushioned seating, illuminated by natural light from deck hatches.
The ship offers cozy cabins with bunk-style berths, practical storage, and authentic nautical decor.
A well-equipped galley ensures hearty meals for the crew and guests, while functional workspaces and navigation areas retain the ship’s authentic 20th-century charm, making it both a working vessel and a welcoming home at sea.
