Wylde Swan
The Wylde Swan was build in 1920 and rebuilt in 2010, going on to win the international Tall Ships Races. She is strong enough to endure moderate ice, and carries a fleet of Zodiacs to get as close to the action as possible. The accommodations for 26 expedition trainees in total are similar to a capsule hotel, making her a top choice for Greenland cruises.
We conduct our voyages on two ships:

My husband and I were on a year-long holiday and were planning a trip to South America. We wanted to go to Argentina and then see penguins, glaciers - all the beauty of those regions. Then we found out about an opportunity to join the crossing on the Amazone schooner, and we knew straightaway it was a great option in terms of time, place and experience we were to gain.
This voyage made us stronger. 16 days at sea without going ashore, sometimes with wind and huge waves. Constant watch duty in such conditions is tough. But we overcame ourselves and it was the most memorable - when you get away from the routine and overcome all the obstacles. The job of the sailors is admirable! I had only been on a small boat before so it was very interesting to see how sails are set on such a big schooner.

I'd like to share my impressions from an Antarctic sailing expedition in 2022. As I told my friends that I'd like to SAIL to Antarctica (and I don't have any licenses and only a very little sailing experience), there were 2 opinions, either "Oh, cool!!", or " You're crazy!!". Now I can say that both were right. It was a really cool, but a little bit crazy expedition. To sail through the Drake's passage – it's a unique experience! As a reward after 4 days you see the shore...
We could visit a several research stations, islands with penguin colonies, sea leopards and, of course, the whales. We were lucky to sail with a very professional crew - they made it possible to sail through the iceberg field. That made us feel to visit an other world in all shades of blue.
I’m travelling a lot since my childhood. I saw the geysers of Iceland, deserts of Mongolia, landscapes of “Lord of the Ring” in New Zealand, waterfalls of La Reunion, Bahá’í Gardens in Israel, lakes of Canada, bears of the Arctic, old timers on the roads of Cuba, volcanos of Kamchatka and many other fascinating places of the world. But the trip to Antarctic in February 2022 is difficult to exceed, actually impossible. Extraordinary experience with fantastic people on the sail boat. It is like a trip to another planet full of pinguins, seals, whales, dolphins and seabirds. As the backstage for them are the breathtaking landscapes of ice mountains and meditation peace. And as a company – small family of sailors, who shared with me the night shifts, ice swimming and pancakes (mmm, our cook – it is a separate topic:)) middle of the nowhere. And the worst thing about it – I wish to do it again even more, than I wished before (it was my dream since 20 years).
The night watch, the Southern Cross overhead, the rumble of glaciers crumbling in the dark and the whales puffing their fountains around you... It's an experience you probably won't get anywhere else.
It was a unique experience: I don't think there are too many people in the world who have ever travelled to Antarctica on a sailing ship. I think it is probably the most vivid and memorable experience of my life.
