With the New Year on the horizon, many of us take stock — of what’s working, what’s missing, and what’s quietly slipped down the list while life got busy. Adventure, playfulness, proper rest, learning something new.

The good stuff.

The things that tend to wait patiently while emails, meetings and to-do lists take over.

But sometimes the most sensible thing to do is step away for a while. To reset. To swap routine for perspective and come back clearer, calmer and quietly energised.

For us, there’s no better way to do that than at sea. Hoisting the sails, pointing the bow towards an open horizon and letting the days stretch and simplify. Sun on your skin, wind in your hair, the slow rhythm of life on board — and that wonderful moment when the vastness of the ocean gently puts everything back in its place.

It’s something we return to time and again, especially when the present moment feels slippery and the to-do list refuses to be outrun. And every time, we come back changed in small but meaningful ways — more grounded, more appreciative, and better prepared for whatever comes next.

If that sounds like the kind of reset you’re craving, you’re in the right place. In this blog, we’re inviting you to set sail in the months ahead, with a handpicked collection of sailing voyages designed to challenge, restore and inspire — in equal measure.

Another World Adventures was born out of sailing, so we know what makes an amazing sailing trip.

Here’s what we’re looking forward to in the months ahead – we hope you can join in!

Sign up for one of these epic sailing voyages in early 2026.

Blue Clipper Sailing Another World Adventures (18)

Sail across the Atlantic Ocean from Antigua to England

Ocean crossings offer not only an adventure of a lifetime, but also a chance to look inward – to slow down, to live in the present moment and practice self-reflection. Plus, the seascapes, sunrises and sunsets provide endless inspiration.
