Known for his everlasting smile and always ready to serve our guest, the best way possible.

In 2017, Ben joined as voyage crew one of our Antarctica voyages. After the voyage of his life, he was dedicated to return as crewmember. Ben returned back on board in the summer of 2023. He has been travelling the world in the few last years, combining this with his role as bartender on board Bark Europa. Since 2023, Ben has done quite some time on board and sailed towards Montevideo, Ushuaia, Talcahuano, Easter Island and Tahiti. When not sailing, Ben is most probably travelling and enjoying the outdoors. Originally trained as a physiotherapist, Ben has used his expertise to help fellow sailors recover from injuries during their time at sea.
