Sailing from Gran Canaria to Antarctica on board tall ship bark EUROPA

Filmmaker Frank Oly joined the bark EUROPA for a real sailing expedition form Gran Canaria across the ocean to Antarctica. He stayed on board for 3 months and filmed this experience. The bark EUROPA is a 105 year old Tall Ship wandering the oceans. Travelers with and without sailing experience can join and help the professional crew to sail the ship. On board the ship you can find a nice mix of people of all nationalities and ages, all living their dream!

I would love to sail onboard a tall ship. An experience to be had for sure in my opinion

What a gorgeous ship!!!! A thing of beauty!! Art is what it is!!!

Breathtakingly beautiful & somewhat surreal - if you sail it's all about the journey, the rhythm you settle into. Your ship becomes your universe - and suddenly you arrive @ your destination, in this case Antarctica, and are smitten by its beauty.

So many shots of this I had to go back and relive, twice, three times. Such an intense longing.

Man, that's a LOT of sails to look after! Well done. So well done.

I’ve just been sailing on the Christian Radich, now looking at different sails around the world and I long to go back sailing on these beautiful ships - there’s something so magical and so calming being part of the sea on a big rigged sail ship ✨⛵️✨

I just listened to the audiobook Erebus- the story of a ship, that made the first successful Antarctica explorations. The comfort being orders of magnitude higher, I'm adding this travel to my bucket list. :)

Its amazing they were building ships like this in the 20th century.

Scott, sail for 86 days, work hard and mark this dream off your bucket list for good!!

Covid 19 has brought the age of jet air travel to a close. Sailing is the way people will travel in the future. We can use the knowledge our ancestors provided for us.

I'm gonna be honest with you here. I've never worked or even been on bark Europa. I have however been trained by one how has worked on it and it truly shakes me the fact that there is not even a mention of the work, effort and dedication provided by the crewmembers on this ship. Basically working 16 hours every day if not more to keep the customers entertained, safe, well fed and so on. It may seem like the people we see in this video are working hard or something but they only really have to work as hard as they want to and half the time they don't even know what they are doing just doing what they are being told and usually poorly. The real work is mostly provided by the extreamly talented crew.

Well sure its fun...if you go in SUMMER!
