Join one of the most exciting voyages in the world as you sail transatlantic from Recife, Brazil to Amsterdam, Netherlands via Azores.
It’s rare to find a tall ship sailing east from South America to Europe so this is a really special opportunity in 2025 to join a hands on adventure over two voyage legs and journey from Brazil to the Netherlands – you’ll even make an equator crossing!
Hands-on sailing
Your vessel is a sail training ship which means you will be mustered as voyage crew. But don’t worry, you’ll receive thorough safety training.
Being part of the crew is definitely a major part of this amazing experience. And what’s great is that no prior sailing experience is necessary although it’s recommended for all off-shore experiences so you’re sure it’s the right kind of trip for you!
This is an adventure open to everyone. While on deck you will work side by side with the permanent crew.
Join the watch system, take the helm, assist with maneuvers and navigation, make the weather observations, learn to furl the sails, and so much more. Lectures will be given regarding basic sail theory, watch responsibilities, line handling, navigation, and steering. You’ll be an old sea-dog in no time.
Your level of participation will partly depend on your interest level as well as your physical condition. Everything on board is done in a “Dutch” style which means no yelling or whistle blowing just good team work.
As you can imagine, a transatlantic crossing is a team effort. It won’t take long at all before your fellow voyage crew feel like family. And unless you think it’s all work – your vessel has plenty of places and opportunities to relax. There’s a lounge, library, deckhouse, and even a poker corner. Find your spot and kick back to feel the wind in your hair and dream big out on the wide blue ocean.
Places on this incredible voyage are extremely limited so get in touch if you’d like to be part of this amazing adventure.

Tour operator
Originally built in 1910, this beautifully restored Dutch tall ship has been crossing oceans and seas on a regular basis since 2000 and has a reputation of a ship that really sails.
Following the favourable winds of traditional sailing routes has brought her to all the continents sailing both the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean, thus earning her nick name ‘ocean wanderer’.
Crew and guests join the ship from all over the world and all ages. As a sail training vessel, everyone on board is assigned to the watch system to help sail the ship - navigating, taking the helm and handling the sails. Sailing experience is not required just a desire to sail to new horizons and experience all aspects of a sailor’s life on board: The wind, the sea, new friends and adventure.
