About Program
Beginning in April 2025, casting off from the ship’s home base in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada, Picton Castle will set sail on a voyage 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, setting off from Nova Scotia Canada, sailing first to the Caribbean, calling at a number of sweet tropical islands, before sailing across 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.
A voyage like this requires a stout ship and a stout crew. Picton Castle measures up, you can apply to join the deep-water sailors that will make up the crew for this epic voyage.
