THE DARWIN200
GLOBAL VOYAGE
THE VOYAGE
After a decade of planning and preparations, and two very successful test voyages around the UK, the DARWIN200 team is proud to launch the 2023-25 Global Voyage, following the journey of Charles Darwin on HMS Beagle!
The DARWIN200 Global Voyage will make landfall at key locations where Charles Darwin stepped ashore during the voyage of HMS Beagle.
During each of these stops, our ship will host groups of DARWIN LEADERS to undertake research projects in exactly the same locations visited by Charles Darwin two centuries ago.
THE ROUTE
| START POINT: | PLYMOUTH |
| START DATE: | 14/08/23 |
| END POINT: | Falmouth |
| END DATE: | 20/07/25 |
For logistical reasons, we have simplified the route of HMS Beagle. For example, HMS Beagle back-tracked north and south several times along the east coast of South America. We will sail this route only once.
We have also added a few locations that Charles Darwin did not visit. These enhance the global voyage and enable sailing during periods of optimal weather. These additional stops also allow essential repair and maintenance, refueling, reprovisioning and planned publicity events.
Crucially, unlike HMS Beagle (which sailed across the Indian Ocean), we are returning from Australia via Cape Horne to enable visits to South Georgia and Tristan da Cunha!
With the exception of Cocos (Keeling) and Mauritius, we will make landfall at every major location Charles Darwin visited during his voyage aboard HMS Beagle!
