  • Description

    Description

    We are an NGO ocean conservation group recently back from transatlantic campaigns saving whales in Iceland and the Faroe Islands!

    We are now arriving back in UK dock to prepare our ship to sail again in Spring.
    The vessel is a former patrol ship and requires constant maintenance being 40 years old.
    All meals onboard are vegan, and we have up to 15 international volunteers.
