Another World Adventures

Transatlantic Falkland Islands to Azores via St Helena

Duration: 55 days
View Dates

Adventure sailing across the Atlantic on a remarkable blue water voyage of 55 days and over 7,000 nautical miles.

In all our years of helping people join transtlantic voyages we’ve never been able to offer this route before. It’s a hands on sailing adventure on a family-run tall ship where you join as guest crew. With max 16 on board it’s an incredible and rare opportunity and slow travel voyage. Plenty of time to practice your knots 😉
Set sail from the windswept Falkland Islands and embark on an epic northbound voyage through the South and North Atlantic. Your course first takes the crew northeast toward the remote island of St Helena, a legendary outpost in the middle of the ocean. If weather and wind allow, you will make landfall there to explore this fascinating island—home to dramatic cliffs, Napoléon’s exile residence, and some of the best snorkeling in the South Atlantic.
After St Helena, you’ll continue north across the Equator, joining Neptune’s court and celebrating the timeless seafarer’s rite of passage. This voyage is all about rhythm and the sea—standing your watch, trimming sails, baking bread, steering by the stars, and becoming part of the ship’s heartbeat.
As you cross the Doldrums and then enter the North Atlantic trades, the Azores slowly come within reach—lush volcanic islands rising from the blue. Making landfall in Horta, Faial, after more than 7,000 miles of open ocean, you’ll have truly sailed across two oceans and through every mood the sea can offer.
This voyage is about endurance, simplicity, and connection—to the wind, the waves, and each other.

Accommodation

There are 6 cabins, each for 2 persons. The cabins are situated in the middle of the ship, which makes them as stable as possible.

Your bunk is inside one of the two person cabins. Your bed will be either the high or the lower bed of a bedbunk. All beds are over 80cm wide and 2 meters long. Each bed has a reading light for the evening hours.

The cabins are ensuite. In a wet cell you will find a shower, of course with hot and cold water, and a toilet, that when possible flushes with outside water. In the cabin itself you will find a fountain and mirror. Your clothing can be stored in closet and your bag or suitcase can be stored under the bed.

Meals

On board the crew we do not work with a set menu. The menu is developed on board with influences of her surroundings. We try and cook with as many local fresh products as possible, this means that around the Canary Islands we eat a lot of tapas, peppers, plantanas (banana’s). In Brazil we eat a lot of fresh fruit, cow meat and rice. And around the North Sea, when it gets colder you will find some ‘stamppot’ (Dutch mashes potatoes specialty) with smoked sausage on your plate.

During a longer stay on board you will hardly ever see the same dish come by. Most of our meals are served with a salad or fruit on the side. During longer trips we take good care of our vegetables and fruit to ensure that you will enjoy fresh food as long as possible.

If you have an allergy or cannot eat certain food, please contact us with your dietary concerns. We provide a healthy menu were you will have enough choice.

We do not provide a vegan diet and on certain voyages we do not provide a lactose intolerant or gluten free diet.

We do provide sweet, savoury, hot and sometimes somewhat fat delicious food, but there is always a healthy choice next to it.

Who is this trip for?

No sailing experience needed, all instruction given on board by the crew to enable you to take part in all aspects of sailing the ship.

Tour operator

An old Herring drifter (Logger) built in 1915, the ship is 28 meters long over deck (38 meters overall) and takes 16 trainees on her voyages. No previous sailing experience is needed and experienced and new sailors love her equally.

A family of four professional sailors have owned and run this vessel since 2006 and sail her with true passion. Built for the North Sea she’s a fast sailor and her rigging is as traditional as it gets.

We love that the boat’s appearance is kept as traditional as possible yet combined with modern techniques and equipment. Everyone on board is part of the informal sail training program that is designed to get the best out of everyone whether you join for 2 days or a longer ocean crossing.

On September 13th she and her crew were the first traditional sailing ship to complete the North West Passage after Roald Admundsen with his ship Goya in 2013.
