Since 1994 the barque EUROPA has roamed the seas of the world and built up the reputation of a ship that really sails. A professional crew of 14 and a complement of 48 voyage crewmembers of all ages and nationalities sail her. Tall Ships enthusiasts, some with no sailing experience, take the wheel, hoist the yards, navigate, etc. In a light breeze 30 sails bellow from EUROPA, taking her towards the horizon.


We, the crew, invite you to sail with us. Each year there are different voyages on the schedule: expeditions to Antarctica, Tall Ships’ races and long ocean crossings - an experience that many dream of and none will forget.
