Captain Matt has returned home to Shetland for the northern summer and Captain Jim Cottier, our very own legend of the seas, takes command of the ship out from New Zealand and through the Pacific. Jim first met with the ship in the early 80's, and since 1990 has been heavy involved as Tony's and then Steve's senior skipper.

Eric Anderson is also something of a legend on his own foredeck and returns as Mate, and Jarren, Sarah, Maho and Elliot have been back again for the NZ season. Lucinda helped out in the galley and with provisioning for the Pacific, and Heather and Rusty returned at the end of refit for the Pacific.. Beth is back in the galley after a decade away and Nick rejoins as 2nd Mate.

This page gives new voyage crew a distinct advantage in learning names and faces on joining day.

Soren Larsen is widely known for being a special ship - because she always has a uniquely special crew and this year looks to be a vintage season.

We know you'll enjoy sailing with them.
