Starting in Ushuaia/ Argentina this trip will pass by Cape Horn, crossing the Drake Passage towards Antarctica. From there you will sail via South Georgia and Tristan da Cunha futher to South Africa. The captain will definitely try for a landing on Cape Horn with its famous lighthouse; making this a true Cape to Cape voyage ending in Cape Town, South Africa.
Antarctica
Antarctica is one of the oldest continents on Earth and the last big wilderness on our planet. The fascinating beauty and its biodiversity will leave an indelible impression and lasting memories of an experience few can claim. The ship sails a route set forth by intrepid explorers over the last centuries.
Your first impression of Antarctica will live firmly with you, no matter what the weather or time of day, as the landscape remains ethereal and light - even as the sun dips below the horizon.

Life on Board of the Bark Europa
The Bark Europa is a sail training ship. That means, that the passengers of the sailing trip are part of the crew. They get detailed safety instructions. The participation in the daily life on board depends on the interest of each passenger. The permanent crew will lead and help you with your tasks. Among other things, you will learn how to navigate and steer a ship, how to set sails and how to keep watch. Sailing experience is not necessary. While sailing through the Drake Passage your participation is assumed as well. You will see that "teamwork" is the key to an unforgettable sailing adventure. Being involved below decks or from the sailing and navigational side only makes the “Total” experience so much richer and rewarding. But for those who chose the flexibility of a sailing yacht, you can also just sit back and relax, your on holidays! The Bark Europa has library, a lounge, a poker corner and a deckhouse. It is equipped with a DVD- and CD-Player and radio. Most of the permanent crew is Dutch. The common language on board is English.

On board of the Bark Europa there are four 2-person cabins, four 4-person cabins and four 6-person cabins. Each bunk has a blanket and bedlinen. Own bedrolls are therefore not necessary. Towels are also provided. All cabins have their private bathroom and WC.
