3 | The Ocean’s Journey
Our philosophy is all about the ocean’s journey. We let Mother Nature be our compass and the prevailing winds and currents define our course. Our tall ship is powered by the billowing sails as much as possible and, as we follow the sun, you’ll discover a new-found freedom and time to connect with the beauty of the natural world.
See the world – and experience the sea – in a different way with Tradewind Voyages.
The Ocean’s Journey
All we ask is a sense of adventure and a passion for the sea. We’ll then take you on a maritime experience you’ll never forget.
4Tradewind Voyages | Golden Horizon Golden Horizon is the largest sailing ship in the world. A grand ship deserves unique adventures – and that’s where we are different. Our journeys harness the power of nature whenever possible, letting the wind and currents guide our course. Our five-masted barque is based on France II, a legendary square-rigged tall ship built in 1913. We’ve been inspired by history’s magnificent Tea Clippers and Cape Horners, and added our own contemporary twist. First-class service, top-notch dining and elegant cabins, all with a sea view are all part of the luxurious experience on board. We offer high levels of safety when it comes to social distancing, with open decks, small guest numbers and visits to remote locations. So, if the ocean is calling, let us take you on the sailing adventure of a lifetime.Classification society: DNV GL Ice Draft:Length:Crew:Guests:Cabins:class140272157162.2m6.4m Gross tonnage: 8770 Maximum sail area: Main6345sqmpropulsion engines: • Caterpillar 2 x 2250ekW + 2 x 1700ekW • Caterpillar 2 x 3300kW, 690V 3-phase 60z, 1200rpm, variable speed unidirectional Technical specification: To book a voyage, flight, hotel or tour: Call 0808 239 9289 | Visit tradewindvoyages.com | Contact your local travel agent

We want you to feel connected to the ocean, so all guest cabins on board Golden Horizon have a sea view and many have their own private balcony. You can start the day with a yoga or fitness class on the Upper Deck, work out in the gym or unwind with a good book in the library. We even have a spa and hammam on board for an indulgent treatment. Our marina platform opening at the stern offers the opportunity for kayaking, swimming and snorkelling. You can also borrow one of our sailing dinghies to navigate the clear water and discover quiet bays. During your voyage, enjoy beach days and surprise stops, as well as iced drinks around the ship’s swimming pools. There’s time to learn, too. We play host to insightful experts who can teach you about maritime history, astronomy and geography, and our outstanding team is on hand to arrange optional activities, from wine tasting to watching a movie under the stars. We want your on board experience to be first-class, without being too formal. So, relax as you enjoy dinner in the elegant dining room, listening to our pianist and singer, or head up on deck for a more casual meal watching the sunset. Get a taste of the local region with shows from talented local performers and end perfect days at Debeljak’s, our premium on board bar serving some of the world’s finest gins and whisky.

7 | The Ocean’s Journey Stand on the expansive wooden deck and feel the momentum of the ship, enjoying the drama as the wind fills the sails and the rigging strains. Gaze out to the horizon where sunlight catches the rippling waves and relish the excitement that comes with spotting dolphins riding the bow wave and leaping playfully from the water.
A grand ship deserves a grand dining experience. Step into the spectacular dining room and gaze up at the curved wrought-iron balconies sweeping towards the stunning central skylight. Maritime art hangs from wood-panelled walls and friendly staff ensure great service is their top priority for an elegant dinner on the world’s largest sailing ship. But we have a more relaxed side, too. There’s 24-hour complimentary room service*, so you can have a lazy breakfast in bed. If your cabin has a balcony, you can enjoy lunch or dinner – and a front-row view of the ocean – in private. And if the sea breeze and sails are calling, head to the open-air Horizon Bar for lunch in the sunshine, or the chance to sneak a treat from our late afternoon ‘Deck Delights’ trolley service. Our menus are full of ‘eat well, be well’ recommendations, so cuisine with a healthy and sustainable focus sits alongside classic favourites, with great options for vegans and vegetarians. Our chefs also source the freshest local ingredients, so you can get a real taste of the region you’re sailing through.

Kick off the evening with cocktail hour, listening to dramatic music while the sails billow and lift the ship from the sea just a little. Have a drink at the Piano Bar and decide where the evening will take you – watching the game show at the Horizon Bar, perhaps, or chatting to new friends over a whisky at Debeljak’s Bar. You can enjoy a delicious meal in the Dining Room, dance to the sound of our talented musicians or opt for a night under the stars, learning about the night sky during a star-gazing lecture. If you’d like to pre-order breakfast to be delivered to your cabin in the morning. We highly recommend tucking into Eggs Benedict while soaking up the ocean views from your balcony. Evening

If you book a voyage in conjunction with other services (such as flights, on-shore accommodation and/or ground transfers) which are arranged or provided by a travel agent or tour operator with whom you book, your contract for the full holiday including the voyage and all such other services and arrangements will be with your travel agent or tour operator and not with us. The travel agent’s or tour operator’s own booking conditions will apply to your contract. Please ensure you obtain a copy of these before or at the time you book. We do not have any liability to you in these circumstances.
The balance of the cost of your voyage (including any surcharge, if applicable) is due not less than 90 days prior to the scheduled Embarkation Date. If we do not receive this balance in full and on time, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled by you in which case we will retain your deposit.

You must be satisfied that your travel or other appropriate insurance fully covers all your requirements including pre-existing medical conditions, cancellation charges, medical expenses and repatriation in the event of accident or illness.

Where we can meet a request, all changes will be subject to payment of an administration fee of at least £50 per person per change, as well as any costs and charges incurred by us and/or incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers in making this change. You should be aware that these costs could increase the nearer to the Embarkation Date that changes are made and you should contact us as soon as possible. Where we are unable to assist you and you do not wish to proceed with the original booking we will treat this as a cancellation by you.

Should your needs change after booking or you become aware that you need assistance you must notify us immediately and we will make reasonable efforts to assist you at that time.
