Voyage Crew
Voyage crew are amateur sailors who join to learn
18th-century skills like how to handle the rigging, furl the
ship’s 28 sails, stand watches, sleep in hammocks and steer
the ship. Although previous sailing experience is not
essential, applicants must be able to go aloft (39 metres)
in all weather, be physically fit and not suffer chronic sea
sickness.
Supernumeraries
If experiencing 18th-century privilege is more your style,
supernumerary (non-sailor) berths are also available. Just
as in Cook’s time, today’s supernumeraries occupy the
gentlemen’s cabins and share the Great Cabin as their day
room with the Master of Endeavour.
