A daughter of a Merchant Sailor who never wanted his little girl to go to sea. At 54 I realise I have a dream to sail, to test myself and at the very least to TRY. Life gets in the way but after watching this I know my time will come, I know I will get my chance its just a matter of timing. This made me cry, it was humbling and the crew were simply amazing. The narration sent shivers down my spine as did the filming. I would say this video would give anyone who wants to go on a sailing adventure a pure, no cgi, no editing just an honest view of what you can expect. Well done to everyone.

I cannot agree with you more I am only 20 but my entire life I’ve dreamed of sailing on a boat like this with a crew I can call family and just to see the distant sunrise coming over the horizon as we wake up on another day on the big ocean I just hope I get to see it one day that’s the only way I’ll feel accomplished in life and yet I’m watching this a year late it still warms my heart that there is hope that one day I will make my dream a reality

@@ITopSoTI DO it you have nothing to lose. I’m a mum I am the responsible one - a child doesn’t ask to be born, it takes two people to create a life,unfortunately only one person understood the concept of being a parent!!!! I wish, at TIMES, I could have put on my jacket and left. I stayed. IF I was 20 & had my time again!!! Ha ha ha yup I’d make mistakes but damn they would be MY mistakes & I would be a force to reckon with! She’s there still she’s just buried deep

Go to sea and fulfil your dreams!!, I have been at SEA for more than 40 years and i dream of more 😀

Who has watched this more than once? I have.

The Voyage film- is for everyone! The Voyage itself is not. "People tell you where to go, they tell you where they've been- but till you get there yourself you never really know." - Joni Mitchell. Hard is the voyage with a crew who are divided or contrary. We may never know the full dynamics of this crew but what I see they were fantastic! An excellent peek through a keyhole into a great lifestyle as big as the Atlantic. Only in stepping through the door can one really know a rabbit hole or stairway to heaven.

My favourite thing on KZread! Really high production values - great cameras, shots, editing, pace, music, tone, script and narration. Well done.

One of the most impressing videos I ever saw on KZread.

Well, it's also doable if already older. All the info is on they're website. :)

Dear Richard! A huge big thank for publishing this film from this very unique voyage. Honestly, this is my first ever long-range voyage "on" a tall ship (though I'm an experienced yacht racer. ) I've loved every moments of the film. What makes the film experience even higher is that I have had sharp memories of the fears and of thouse late-march days of 2020. We, landlocked people tried that time to get out of the scares of this sudden pandemy madness. When you set sail from Ushaia, e.g. parallel we concluded, so we would stop the continuous fear from the disease, and we had to do hiking tours to mother nature, just in order to leave the closedness behind us. Your voyage is more then rememberful and charming: bark Europa might have provided you with the safest little island on Earth. It is great to see the various moments of your onboard life, how excellently you could cooperate together. From seeing your film I was able to realize, why I loved sailing so much! Thank you and the entire crew for the experience I received with following your days. And special respect for taking thouse high seas so safely. Just seeing on screen how a big hull cuts the waves, is a breathtaking experience. I hope so all you are well nowadays, and I wish all the best, and -the mostly- fair winds to the crew and to you! The Voyage is a great film of your advanture!

Thanks for taking us along on your adventure. It’s great to see real people doing real things instead of sitting in front of a video monitor pretending to do real things.

I came across this through your question the Neale James. this is an excellent film, beautifully shot, and the rawness and connection to the people on board comes through in your words. Superb photo of the wave also, well done

What an epic journey! Sailing is a tough job that only looks easy on pictures, but it's so much rewarding and unique experience. Freedom ♥️ well done Crew!

A great voyage and film. I'm sure those young sailors will remember it for the rest of their lives.

This has got to be one of the best of the best films of how we the people can work together we live together my hat off to the crew God bless all of you and thank you .

Thank You Captain, Thank You Crew, Thank you filmmakers, and everyone else connected with telling this tale of the high seas! Absolutely riveting!

Great job, crew! I did a short delivery on a 40' ft sailboat from Hawaii to Seattle about 40 years ago. I always wanted to be on the sea again. This is the real deal.

Hello Richard 🙋🏼‍♀️ Thank you very much for this experience! Love ❤ and greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 to you, the crew and of course to the ⛵️ EUROPA

Excellent film, beautiful camera work. 80 plus days at sea would certainly have some trying times, but most definitely a trip of a life time . Well done Captain Eric and Crew! Nice to see a few familiar faces. Vlad Cape to Cape '17

Expertly filmed, edited and narrated.

I can’t believe this doesn’t have millions of views by now, so well shot and produced. Took me on an epic journey, thank you for that.

Excellent video to all. Great voyage to everyone who participated. From a sailor of 45 years 🇨🇦

I've just finished my first week of sailing on the Eendracht and am planning my next trip on the Bark Europa. This is a perfect introduction!

What a epic journey and how well this documentaion has been put together. Amazing job!!!

well done ! amazing crew ! A beautiful testimony of what life is ! thanks a lot

Absolutely loved this! What a ship, what a crew, what a voyage... and what a video! Bravissimo!

Brings back memories. Europa has the best sounding & loudest horn ever!

What an epic adventure! Great camera work and so awesome to let us enjoy this too. Looks like a fantastic crew and the ship is sooo beautiful.

I followed every step of this epic journey online, and it's nice to see it on video as well. A great adventure in some ways, but it must have been hard for the crew who were expecting to fly home to their friends and families. A real testament to the dedication, skill and masterful seamanship of the Europa crew (and nice to see a few familiar faces too).

I sailed on the Ice patrol ship HMS Endurance in 1981 our journey started in the uk and down the South American coast to Antartica on the way back we stopped in Ushuaia and Punta Arenas a journey I will never forget, this vlog brings back many memories.

A really fantastic film to watch as a landlubber - not something at 82 I will be doing, altho I did make 2 transAtlantic /Caribbean voyages many years ago on some of the last transatlantic liners (1962, 1968), very enjoyable, altho not something I wish to repeat ! Very courageous of all the sailors, and I am just so happy you all got back to your port safely !

Fantastic effort by the Captain and Crew. I sailed on Europa in 2010 and long to be back.

What an epic voyage!!! Top quality content! Looks like a fun crew. Enjoyed every second.

20:00 definitely the most entertaining part of the documentary.

Great cinematography! I was sailing on tall ship, you capture this exacly how it is! Well done.

Superb work! Lovely to sail along with the Crew! Safe and sound. Thank you for sharing. 👍💯👏🏻👏🏻

Wow, just wow! Male and female crew all doing what used to be considered men's work. Epic adventure. And the videography, no camera crew, producers, just you. Great job!!

A fantastic film. Thankyou so much for sharing. My short time on Europa was a life changing event. I will treasure my memories of her and my fellow shipmates for the rest of my life.

Awesome!! What a great passage! Congrats to you all

Fantastic footage and narration, thank you for sharing !

The real thing. Wonderful.

Fantastic video! Thanks for sharing it! You make us dream!

Wonderful sail on a gorgeous ship and a really cool crew whom are sincerely friends for life now, I enjoyed watching, I'm also a sailor and I single handed a 1000 nautical miles myself....

Authentically beautiful! Not sure why it popped up in my KZread feed but I’m glad it did. Really enjoyed watching!

Boatswain, aye. Thank you for sharing your joy for life.

Great film, Ricky! We were lucky (?) to be able to get of the ship just in time, whilst the world was shutting down and you were starting the adventure of a life-time.  This film captures really nice the feeling of being on a sailing ship in the middle of the ocean, with this amazing crew! Camerawork was - as expected - excellent. Hope to be able to sail on this magnificent ship once more ... Antarctica '20

Fantastic video, great footage of life on board the old girl

Well done to the crew and all

Oh guys! You're just crazy! It's incredible trip! I'm so impressed! Thanks for sharing!😍👍

The sombreros! That was super cute.

What a fantastic film! Even though this voyage was out of the ordinary, due to the circumstances, I'd love to do a voyage like this some day. Way out of my budget, though! One can dream.

Such a nice and wonderful travel across the ocean. Like the old days.

Wow amazing❤️
