SEASON 2017-18
Atlantic Odyssey
The classic: a November crossing, from Tenerife to Barbados, ready for a Caribbean Christmas.
This early start from Tenerife will appeal to sailors who wish to reach the Caribbean at the start of the safe season and make landfall in an island such as Barbados from where a cruise can be easily planned to sail north or south along the chain of islands.

Caribbean Odyssey
Cross the Atlantic later in the season. Make a direct passage from Tenerife to Barbados in January .
One of the attractions of this timing is that participants are encouraged to come to Tenerife before Christmas and spend the festive holidays in this attractive city, enjoying a wide choice of activities culminating in the celebrations associated with the Three Kings festivities.
New for 2017: Atlantic Odyssey CV & Caribbean Odyssey CV
Leave Tenerife a little earlier, and stop over for a few days in the Cape Verdes.
Those who decide to stop will find Mindelo (São Vicente) a perfect place to check the boat’s systems, reprovision and have a rest before embarking on the now considerably shorter crossing to Barbados.
