The vessel, operated by Gdynia Maritime University in northern Poland, will be among 60 tall ships from around the world participating in the Sail4th 250 event.
The voyage is an integral part of an intensive training process including navigation, watchkeeping, manoeuvres and teamwork under demanding ocean conditions.
The ship previously circumnavigated the globe in 1987-1988 and again in 2018-2019 to mark the centenary of Poland regaining independence.
The current journey is likely to be its last long-distance expedition, as the construction of a new training frigate is expected to begin next year and scheduled for completed in 2029.
According to Gdynia Maritime University, the voyage also has historical significance. Fifty years ago this month, Poland's former flagship training vessel, Dar Pomorza, sailed to the United States to take part in Operation Sail during the US bicentennial.
The Atlantic crossing provides future merchant marine officers with their first experience of long-distance ocean navigation under real operational conditions.
Built in 1982, the Dar Młodzieży is a 354-foot, three-masted full-rigged ship with a sail area of 32,000 square feet, carrying a crew of 40 as well as 136 cadets.
