HARLINGEN
Mid October 2025
We depart from the Netherlands and sail southwest. Sailing in the Channel during autumn is always a challenge. Depending on the weather and wind, the captain may decide to stop in France, England, or Spain to wait for better conditions.

TENERIFE
The first real destination is Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands. Here, we’ll have an exchange with a local school and climb El Teide, the volcano that created the island.

DOMINICA
Afterward, we’ll make our first crossing to Dominica. There, we’ll go on an expedition in the jungle to the Boiling Lake and spend a few days with the local community.

CURAÇAO
After some island-hopping among various Leeward Islands, we’ll reach the ABC Islands and visit Curaçao.

PANAMA
Next, we’ll sail even further west, to Guna Yala, also known as San Blas, an autonomous region in eastern Panama. Here, you’ll find paradise: white beaches, blue waters, coral reefs, and palm trees. A little further west in Panama, you’ll be dropped off to explore the country in a small group, embarking on our first independent journey!

CUBA
After Panama, we’ll sail northward for the first time in months, beginning the journey home. In Cuba, you’ll disembark to explore this unique island nation with a group of fellow students during the second independent journey.

BERMUDA
Next, we sail to Bermuda, where the contrasts with Cuba are striking.

AZORES
After Bermuda, we’ll cross the Atlantic Ocean again and head to the Azores. In Faial, we’ll prepare for the final leg of sailing back to the Netherlands.
