Dear Joris,
Set foot on Belgian soil again this morning. After a wonderful journey. What an experience. Beyond my, already high, expectations.
Very lucky with the crew, the weather and the ship. Time has flown by!
Now I'll just have a rest, but I'm already looking forward to my next trip....! Top arrangements, Joris. Thank you very much.
(Of course I will be happy to be advised by you on a follow-up trip).
Would you let me know how I can make a short report for you?
Best regards, Herman

Listen to the inspiring story of this CptnZeppos passenger! ⚓
Klaus contacted us to share his wish to travel aboard a cargo ship. He wants to recreate his family’s journey - they left Germany for Canada in the 1950. He believes that cargo ship traveling will allow him to realize the impact of the transatlantic travel which his parents undertook.
Now Klaus still lives in Canada, but soon he’ll be moving to Germany by cargo ship. We’re very excited about his upcoming journey.

Unexpected encounter with my great love Atlantic Sun in the Berendrecht lock. 😍
She took me from our home port of Antwerp-Bruges to New York via Liverpool and Halifax. She changed my life and was the start of CptnZeppos. ✨⚓️✨🙏🏻
Ik ben Joris Van Bree (1972), een Antwerpenaar die in Mol opgroeide.
Mijn opleiding aan de Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten Antwerpen heeft me oog voor schoonheid gegeven. Die vind ik in Kunst, Theater, Romans, Fotografie, Architectuur&Interieur, Design én de Natuur.
Sportief kan ik me uitleven met indoor roeien, fietsen in de stad, zeilen en skiën.
Bergen en zeeën zijn een rode draad in mijn leven en hebben veel gemeen.
Ik ben introvert en extravert.
Mijn nieuwsgierigheid lag aan de oorsprong van CptnZeppos. Tijdens een fietstocht door de Antwerpse Haven, op weg naar het Havendorp Lillo, vroeg ik me af hoe het leven aan boord van een vrachtschip zou zijn. Na een bezoek aan het indrukwekkende Red Star Line Museum vertrok ik vanuit Antwerpen, aan boord van The Atlantic Sun, voor een reis van 14 dagen, via Liverpool en Halifax naar New York. De Atlantische Oceaan oversteken, leven tussen water en lucht, met slechts enkele passagiers, weg van de massa, zeeën van tijd, zonder internet gaven me rust en werkte inspirerend. Het contact met de bemanning en toegang tot de brug, de machinekamer maakte het nog specialer.
De tijd aan boord verdeelde ik tussen lezen, schrijven, fotograferen en filmen, genieten van de kleuren van water en lucht, gesprekken met medepassagiers en bemanning.
Het was een fantastische reis. De ervaring was overweldigend, onbeschrijfelijk, met niets te vergelijken.
Daarom wil ik nu andere mensen de kans geven om hun droom waar te maken aan boord van een vrachtschip...
