The route passed through the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, through the Panama Canal to the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Gulf of Aden, and the Red Sea.
The boat travelled to unique places, such as the Galápagos Islands, Easter Island, the Pitcairn Islands, and Vanuatu. At various times, people from different countries of the world, including Israel, Russia, Finland, and France, joined this journey.
