(Atlantic) Ocean's Eighteen

Transatlantic voyage on an 18th-century tall ship

The Shtandart is a replica of Peter the Great's flagship and has seven working cannons on board. Its crew is made up of people from different countries, professions and backgrounds. What they all have in common is a passion for adventure and a desire to challenge themselves. They have all, at some point in their lives, decided to take a risk and fulfil their dream of a maritime journey. Now they share their impressions from this extraordinary voyage and explain what life is like on board an 18th-century tall ship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
