Beginning in April 2025, casting off from the ship’s home base in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada, Picton Castle will sail to the tradewinds and islands of the South Pacific and then south around Cape Horn for a truly epic voyage.

This voyage will be made in true Picton Castle style. We will set off from Nova Scotia, Canada, sailing first to the Caribbean and calling at several sweet tropical islands before crossing the Caribbean Sea to Panama and out into the South Pacific. From there, we’ll sail south to make one of the most famous sailing ship passages, rounding Cape Horn at the southern tip of South America.

Few other voyages could blend the joys of trade wind sailing and visits to exotic tropical ports with the challenge of rounding Cape Horn quite the way this expedition will. Adventures at sea and on land, amazing, storied ports to visit, various sailing conditions, and incredible hands-on learning opportunities will be the hallmarks of this voyage.

A voyage like this requires a stout ship and a stout crew. Picton Castle measures up, and you can apply to join the deep-water sailors who will make up the crew for this epic voyage.
