Coming on the Europa for 2.5 months was the best decision I've ever made. I hope I'll be back on the EUROPA in the near future.
The past year had us practising in changing directions, adapting to the winds and focusing on possibilities. While manoeuvring within the boundaries of the pandemic and using the time as useful as possible, Bark EUROPA visited several Dutch ports and has received a lot of care and attention in our maintenance periods over the last year. The crew did an outstanding job in preparing her to return to the seas and oceans.
Our idea is to explore the stunning nature around us, while sailing north. We won't visit any big cities but will focus on more remote areas and will create a responsible travel bubble on board. As the situation is still very uncertain and subject to change we will schedule our summer voyages closer to date

We are very pleased to have opened our autumn Atlantic crossing for bookings! With a renovated deckhouse, renovated cabins, new drystores and a new laundry Bark EUROPA will be all ready to set sail south in August and resume wandering the oceans and exploring the remotest areas of our world. The crossing from the Netherlands to Uruguay combines great sailing conditions and rougher seas with days with light winds. The perfect voyage for those who are ready to make the transition from pollywog to shellback, who are looking to get really off the grid for two months and who want to experience what it would have been like to cross that same ocean hundreds of years ago. We cannot wait to sail the oceans with you again!
It was a amazing voyage!!! The crew were wonderful in helping us with everything and the cook was absolutely amazing! I think that for a training ship she is handled very well and the organization was great. The captain 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 this beautiful vessel.

What a marvellous experience I had on this trip. The ship was incredible and the crew were so helpful for those of us who had never sailed on a square rigger before. We swam near the equator, saw dolphins, whales, flying fish and albatross and had perfect sailing weather for most of the trip. I would absolutely recommend an ocean voyage on Europa to anyone looking for a special experience, I can’t wait to do another trip!

My journey on the Bark Europa, short as it may have been, was an amazing one. The trip was a nice combination of relaxation and exercise. I also learned a lot about the ship and sailing it. I owe this experience to the crew members that were always enthusiastic and eager to explain everything.

The voyage was an experience few have or will ever have a chance to embrace. Doing such a long voyage brings so much more time to absorb the spirit of open ocean tall ship sailing as close as one can get historically.
