ABOUT THIS LEG OF THE VOYAGE


Sail legendary Cape Horn! In past centuries, sailors that accomplished this feat earned the right the title of “Cape Horner ” to boast of their seafaring victory. They were held in such reverence that they were granted the right to wear a gold hoop earring and the right to dine with one foot on the dinner table! Become a Horner! Along the way, spot whales, dolphins, penguins and albatrosses! This voyage leg is not for novice sailors, but those seeking a genuine sailing adventure!
