About us

just wanna thank everybody, was a amazing trip. good fun,good people,good food,good sailing.

It was a amazing voyage!!! The crew were wonderful in helping us with everything and dear Rensje was absolutely amazing! I think that for a training ship she is handled very well and the organization was great. Capt. Janke is a wonderful captain and also did a superb job of wrangling the 40 plus landlubbers and keeping a ship shape ship! Thank you to everyone for all the love and effort that goes into these beautiful vessels.

We had an amazing trip - the sailing was good, the crew were lovely and the dolphins performed for us regularly. You have to like people on this trip as the ship is pretty crowded - but that's a small part of it. Go on....book a trip. You know you want to!

We had a fabulous time in these 12 days, windy and not so windy weather (but eah, who can say they took a swim in the Biscay), good fun with the crew and fellow sailors and in addition we learnt a lot

Ik heb genoten de hele reis. Misschien is het leuk om in de ruimte bij de bar een elektronische kaart te hebben met de positie van de Bark Europa.

This was a fantastic voyage. The permanent crew were excellent, all of them helpful, knowledgable, cheerful and very hard working. I thought Janke was first class as Captain, as was Finn, setting an informal, inclusive and positive tone for the crew. Rensche and her team were great, and worked incredibly hard to fill us with lovely food. It was wonderful to have two unscheduled visits to Madeira and the small island. I would score the whole experience not as 5 out of 5, but 10 out of 5. Please send my thanks and very best regards to Janke, Finn and the crew, with fair winds and a happy voyage all the way to Antarctica. Roger Howell
