- U-Boat Worx | Voyages & Journeys
Home - The Numinous - U-Boat Worx U-Boat Worx June-2022 Last November (2021), we were presented with the opportunity to schedule a visit to the HQ of U-Boat Worx in Breda (the Netherlands). As you may be aware, we dedicate a lot of our time creating exceptional yacht expeditions to the most extraordinary and remote destinations around the world. With these amazing adventures we provide submersible services, and as an official Partner of U-Boat Worx, we can provide the most modern and advanced submersibles on the market. U-Boat Worx submarines are without a doubt the pioneer in every aspect of underwater exploration. Since its inception, U-Boat Worx has defined the standards to create exceptional submersibles. Each submarine is handcrafted and overseen by their own in-house experts to ensure every detail is perfect. It was the dream of Bert Houtmanto create submersibles that offer the best dive experience, a dream that has come true and continues to deliver excellence. Each U-Boat Worx submarine is designed to provide unmatched comfort, space, and style. All their submarines have maximum legroom and headroom while keeping overall weight and size to a minimum. This combination delivers the ultimate diving experience. When embarking on the Cruise Sub’s, in the manufacturing line, it is directly noticed the ease of boarding and disembarking. Being placed in one of the acrylic hulls - keep in mind that this model fits 9 passengers, including the pilot - the clear view was truly impressive, every equipment and component is strategically placed, and the combination of the efficient air conditioning for comfort and the surround music transforms this experience into a 360º live-theatre. Complete flexibility and omni-directional movement are the hallmarks of U-Boat Worx submersibles. They are truly ideal for wreck diving and discovering the most challenging waters. Their submersibles intelligently designed thruster configurations optimise manoeuvrability with maximum capability. Advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics are used to streamline the hull to maximise the efficiency and decrease drag giving the appropriate power settings to counteract all conditions of tide and current. What makes them even more impressive is that their submersibles can perform a minimum of 8 dives per day without refilling, and some models can do up to 12 dives without refilling. Due to their abundant oxygen capacity, large Carbon Dioxide filters and high-capacity battery systems they can perform up to 18 hours operation. To have a submersible to your disposal during your yacht adventure is indispensable. With a submersible onboard we make sure to design the sailing route along breathtaking diving sites to experience magical moments while exploring the underwater world. We would like to thank Eckly Hendriks (U-Boat Worx International Sales Manager) for the warm welcome and introductions. < Previous Article Next Article >

- Alexander Archipelago | Voyages & Journeys
Home - Unique Adventures - Alexander Archipelago Alexander Archipelago In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks. - John Muir - This very unknown 480 km long archipelago in North America, lies off the south-eastern coast of Alaska. It contains more than 1.000 islands, the tops of submerged coastal mountains that rise steeply from the Pacific Ocean. Deep channels and fjords separate the islands and cut them off from the mainland. This entire archipelago is covered with breathtaking landscapes and extraordinary wildlife. When sailing these waterways, be daunted by the surroundings. Go into the woods in search for the brown bears, and spot humpback whales and orcas splash against a backdrop of glaciers and icebergs. Sail along the famed Inside Passage and find yourself in the middle of the rugged evergreen covered islands of the Alexander Archipelago. Through narrow fjords, wonder at massive glaciers. This voyage will provide an intimate look at the real Alaska. Discover the native Alaskan culture in Ketchikan, known for its many native American totem poles but also home to the Misty Fiords, a glacier-carved wilderness with snow-capped mountains, and beautiful waterfalls. Step into a floatplane and set off to experience the rich wildlife of Revillagigedo Island, including black bears, wolves and bald eagles. After a day of adventure return to your vessel where a festive dinner awaits. On a different occasion go for a round of golf on Alaska’s only golf course at Wrangell. It’s a nine-hole course, but you can play 18 holes by doing a second round. Wake up in a natural showcase of Alaska’s wildlife, through the Chatham Strait and arrive at Baranof Island, here it is likely to see bears, bald eagles, humpback whales, moose, sealions and many more. Head out to explore Sitka national historical park - this park contains the ruins of an Indian fortress in which the Tlingit Indians made their last stand against Russian settlers in 1804. One of Alaska's largest and oldest preserves is glacier bay national park. Truly created by nature for fascinating viewing, step aboard the yacht’s onboard helicopter and set out for a picnic on a big iceberg where you will have a stunning view of the whole glacier while enjoying your glass of wine admire the rivers of melted glacier ice running beneath the surface. Go for anchor in the afternoon and warm up with a bonfire on the secluded beach while diner is prepared. Navigate through a spectacular Tracy Arm Fjord, a narrow fjord carved out by glaciers that twist and turn for over 30 miles. Spectacular waterfalls cascading down granite walls towering 1000 meters above sea level. The sawyer glaciers at the end of Tracy Arm are the most dramatic in Alaska. Wildlife in this world of blue ice includes black and brown bears, wolves, deer and moose. In the fjords, look for seals and whales. Bald eagles soar overhead. Nearing almost the final part of the voyage, head out to the massive Mendenhall Glacier, in Tongass National Forest. Set out and hike the surrounding trails to get up close or discover the massive network of cerulean ice caves what makes Mendenhall Glacier so unique and special. The dancing ombre of blues throughout the ice from aqua to sapphire to cobalt will captivate you with her magical glow. As final destination, enter the harbour from Juneau. This voyage is explicitly designed to carry out by yacht, such as La Datcha or Yersin . It is also possible to combine this itinerary with our other Alaska adventure.

- O Hodor
Aventuras Únicas Expedições de Iate Explore Comunicações Sobre Nós EN PT NL Início - Comunicações - Hodor Hodor June-2020 With spectacular tenders, toys, professional diving equipment and aircraft facilities, this 66 meters shadow vessel truly opens the door to great adventure. As one of 2019’s most anticipated unveilings, Hodor triggers great excitement in the world of yachting with its fleet of extraordinary toys that truly makes the guests experience unforgettable. But the super exciting part is Hodor’s capabilities to access the most remote areas, where we can create unique underwater exploration, helicopter trips and have a wide selection of recreational gadgets to our disposal for both water and land excursions. It’s the first launch in the Shadow Cat series from Australian design firm Incat Crowther, built to support the 87m Lonian superyacht. With its ingenious multihull design, it adheres any demands without sacrificing any of its nautical capabilities. A special IMO Tier 3 compliant exhaust cleaning system reduces greenhouse gasses emitted by the vessel. Apart from two Humphree active interceptors on the stern which reduces pitching motions while underway, no additional stabilisation systems needed to be installed on Hodor given the inherent stability provided by the hull design. Every inch of Hodor is fully customised, as designers and naval architects of the project worked closely with the vessel’s owner who was in search to extend recreational capabilities and additional supplies such as crew and equipment. This specific design really puts deck and storage space to another dimension and provides an incredible stability and efficiency on the water while maintaining the uttermost comfort. What to find on Board Hodor comes with its own advanced dive centre, which is fully equipped with compressors, NITROX and O2 facilities and a decompression chamber in the yacht’s hospital. Operates with 20 crew members, all of whom are accommodated for in double and twin ILO-compliant quarters. Hodor’s strength lies in its ability to safely carry a fleet of five tenders on its aft decks and to deal with helicopter operations with a D-value fully certified helicopter landing pad of 16m that can accommodate helicopters up to 6t such as one of our favourite helicopters the EC145. The large knuckle boom and twin beam cranes stand ready to launch and receive a variety of tenders, the largest of which being a 17 meters long chase boat with four high-performance outboard engines. Besides all that adrenaline fuelled tenders you will find Hodor’s own submarine, fully prepared to offer you a truly unique and immersive experience, exploring the hidden depths of the ocean. If you think this is it, a little bit further below the deck of this adventurer’s toy box you will find jet skis, all-terrain vehicles and dune buggies. Having Hodor accompanying you on your voyage, you are in for a great and unique adventure. < Previous Article Next Article > RNAVT 7818 Empresa registada em Portugal Política de Privacidade Termos e Condições > Contacte-nos info@voyagesjourneys.com +351 917 800 008

Samen met onze partners hebben we een epische 10-daagse route rond deze prachtige archipel gemaakt, waar we naar binnen varen om een van de meest fotografische en afgelegen regio's ter wereld te ontdekken, sta versteld van de ongerepte wildernis en landschappen. Vaar over Revillagigedo Island, Baranof Island en Glacier Bay National Park, verken de baaien langs Stephens Passage en de Tracy Arm in richting de South Steward Glacier. Op de dag van de zonsverduistering hebben we het perfecte uitkijk punt geïnstalleerd op observatie lounge. Aan boord van een Amels SeaXplorer, like La Datcha , zal het zorgen voor een ongekende stabiliteit en de perfecte hoek. Als je naar de observatielounge loopt, heb je de nieuwste Unistellar eVscope 2 slimme telescoop tot je beschikking, zodat je de zonsverduistering vanaf je iPad Pro kunt bekijken. Tijdens het evenement word je vergezeld door een professionele natuurfotograaf die je leert epische beelden te maken. Als je niet wilt wachten tot 14-maart 2025 geen probleem, er zijn meer mogelijkheden om getuige te zijn van een maansverduistering tot die tijd, op 14-oktober 2023 wat het best te zien is in Noord en Zuid-Amerika, 08-april 2024 wat het best is te zien in Noord-Amerika, 02-oktober 2024 wat het best te zien is in de Aysen regio in Chili. Op elk van deze locaties kunnen we bij V&J een ongekende planning creëren voor jouw en uw familie of het nu per jacht of ergens op een unieke locatie is, ongeacht de situatie kunnen we garanderen dat het verhalen en herinneringen zal opleveren voor het leven. < Vorig Artikel Volgend Artikel > RNAVT 7818 Bedrijf geregistreerd in Portugal Privacybeleid Algemene Voorwaarden > Neem Contact Op info@voyagesjourneys.com +351 917 800 008

Unieke Avonturen Jacht Expedities Ontdek De Numinous Wie Zijn Wij EN PT NL Home - De Numinous - Ocean Bottle Ocean Bottle en Voyages & Journeys Augustus-2022 Helaas vervuilt plastic onze wereldwijde oceanen in een ongelooflijk tempo, het behouden en beschermen van onze wereldwijde ecosystemen vormt de kern van ons ethos. Zoals je weet, verken je met Voyages & Journeys doelbewust, en door onze unieke avonturen kunnen we natuurbeschermingsprojecten over de hele wereld ondersteunen. Omdat iedereen recht heeft op een schoon en gezond milieu. We zijn zo verheugd om onze samenwerking met Ocean Bottle aan te kondigen, een bedrijf dat een van de eerste echte oceaan impact oplossingen aanbiedt die direct beschikbaar is. Elke fles financiert de inzameling van 11,4 kg plastic of 1000 plastic flessen en voorkomt dat ze ooit onze blauwe wereld binnenkomen. Zoals jullie van V&J gewend zijn, zijn wij altijd op zoek naar nieuwe manieren om meer bewustzijn te creëren voor behoud en conservatie van onze ecosystemen. Vanwege de wederzijdse zorg en begrip die we met Ocean bottle hebben over de cruciale impact die plastic heeft op al het leven in onze oceanen. Hebben we besloten om samen te werken met Ocean bottle om hun circulaire oplossing op lange termijn voor de plasticcrisis te ondersteunen. Dit betekent dat elke reiziger die met V&J reist een op maat gemaakte V&J Ocean Bottle ontvangt, dus voordat je aan je volgende avontuur begint, maak je al een cruciale impact. De fles zelf is deels roestvrij staal en deels oceaan gebonden gerecycled plastic, het is gemaakt om een leven lang mee te gaan, het is gemakkelijk recyclebaar en maakt direct een positieve impact op het behoud van onze natuur. Hoe werkt het? Plasticverzamelaars (lokale bewoners over de hele wereld) verzamelen plastic uit riviersystemen en langs de kustlijnen voordat het in de oceaan terechtkomt. Met het ingezamelde plastic gaan ze naar inzamelpunten waar ze de mogelijkheid hebben om hun plastic in te ruilen voor financiële steun, deze inzamelpunten ondersteunen hen om toegang te krijgen tot sociale voorzieningen zoals gezondheidszorg, collegegeld of financieel advies. Het ingezamelde plastic wordt op een duurzame manier ge-upcycled of mede verwerkt tot nieuwe producten, zoals de Ocean Bottle. Het is altijd zo special om onze V&J Ocean Bottles te zien tijdens jullie reizen en avonturen. Zorg ervoor dat je een foto van je fles deelt en vergeet niet #TheOceanBottle of @oceanbottle en ons natuurlijk te taggen op je sociale media en help ons om zoveel mogelijk bewustzijn te creëren. < Vorig Artikel Volgend Artikel > RNAVT 7818 Bedrijf geregistreerd in Portugal Privacybeleid Algemene Voorwaarden > Neem Contact Op info@voyagesjourneys.com +351 917 800 008
- Experiential Travel with the Family | Voyages & Journeys
Home - The Numinous - Travel with the Family Experiential Travel with the Family February-2020 Searching the adventures with your kids (young or older) is incredibly rewarding for the entire family. If there is one thing that we have been noticing, is that families are more cautious in their approach towards experiential travel. For the last years is more usual to book a villa vacation or resort somewhere comfortable and close to a beach, enclosed in a relaxed environment. There is an undoubted difference in providing a childcare and stress-free atmosphere in the most remote and adventuress environments around the globe, that translates in mom and dad getting the deserved relax time while enjoying magnificent experiences hand-crafted for them. We take great pleasure in working with young generations, as we can see that it unlocks so much new potential. It is the greatest gift to educate the next generation about the beautiful ecological diversities and wildlife that our planet holds, while at the same time we alert them the terrible effects of climate change and the endangered species list that continue to expand. There is no better satisfaction than to witness a child exploring new habitats and being so excited about it. During the planning phase nothing changes for us, we still perform exhaustive research of every aspect of the journey to ensure that we cover every detail of safety and health. As you might have noticed by now, we really strive for a trustful relationship with each client and during our planning we keep close contact to shape it to client’s wishes. If requested we also look for au-pairs, tutors or babysitters to join the family, once we have understood the family needs and children’s likes and dislikes. We want to make sure that every member of the family gets involved in all activities, so that they can share those moments. We craft voyages that combine activities around the children’s school years, providing valuable education to use during or on upcoming school year. Depending on the time schedule of their school vacations we can take the family to destinations that offer plenty of variety. For example, it is amazing to travel around the Galapagos Islands, but we can turn it into a whole other experience if you are joined by a naturalist specialist in the local environment. Of course, there are certain adventures and environments that just are not suitable for children. If the possibility is there to ensure everyone can be involved in a journey, without compromising safety and health, we will make it possible. Our method to experiential travel assures that we provide an itinerary to meet every requirement of each family member to experience the extraordinary. < Previous Article Next Article >
- Explore with Purpose | Voyages & Journeys
Home - About Us - Explore with Purpose Explore with Purpose Besides our passion for high adrenaline adventures, and our love for learning about other cultures, traditions, and their history; the main reason we founded V&J is that with every itinerary or high octane levelled adventure we really strive to make a difference. When you travel with us you are supporting the planet, you can learn and assist hands-on in conservation projects, support antipoaching unites, wildlife orphanages and sanctuaries that protect the wildlife with their own life and make a difference. We create remarkable journeys and private events among the most exceptional destinations, bachelor parties, birthdays, honeymoons, family reunions, a break with friends, or any other adventure. Nevertheless, we never neglect the ethics of travelling, the impact on the local community and environment. Leaving a positive impact with your presence is what we can define as responsible travel. Clients that travel with V&J are very seasoned travellers, and walk with the question, what’s next? That’s exactly where we specialized ourselves in, to go beyond the exceptional. We combine the client’s inspiration and create itineraries combining educational and unforgettable entertainment that shows what meaningful conservation efforts look like and offers knowledge that enhances the whole experience. Some of our activities can include: assisting in restoring coral reefs in the Maldives or the Fiji Islands; head into the African bush and help veterinarians and rangers with ear notching rhinos in South Africa; visit pioneering wildlife orphanages that rescue, protect and rehabilitate elephants, rhinos and many other wildlife in Kenya; discover the beauty of our underwater world such as the Cocos Islands or the South Pacific together with marine biologists and scientists and experience first-hand about the conservation of ocean life; or even volunteer and help in the conservation of sea turtles in São Tomé & Principe. “Sadly, there are still a lot of so-called sea turtle experiences where tourists are allowed to engage in activities that represent a serious problem and are not really helpful.” – Vanessa Mestre Through the last years we build a unique network of wildlife scientists, veterinarians, rangers, wildlife photographers and conservation projects that are experts in handling wildlife, so that you can interact with them on a way that you have never imagined before, and in a safe manner – creating truly life changing experiences. Our ecosystems don’t just accommodate wildlife and beautiful sceneries, they also include local communities. Out of our experience, conservation efforts have the ultimate effect when the affected communities actively support and lead the work themselves. For example, in Kenya, locals that used to poach wildlife for their own survival are re-educated into rangers or wildlife day care workers that dedicated their lives now to conservation and preservation of wildlife and their environment; or the inhabitants of the Maldives of Moorea in Fiji that are restoring complete coral reefs; or even in in São Tomé & Principe, where former fishermen that used to hunt turtles are now part of the team that helps to preserve the species. However, like we all are aware, most of the times in some countries there are funding constrains. To travel responsible or to “explore with purpose” helps and supports the much-needed protection efforts, such as training, or fund gear, food, supplies and maintenance for wildlife orphanages. By travelling with V&J you fund these conservation organisations and empower local communities to participate in and benefit from conservation.
