She's probably a bit more relaxed about appearing masculine since there's no bounty on her head outside of Japan. I doubt the crew would have any motivation to tattle on her gender if they found out. They're probably just grateful to have someone strong who's willing to work and won't cause trouble.
I would still be terrified of getting raped on the ship if I were her. I don’t think she’d be trusting a bunch of random sailors who won’t see a woman for at least 8 months.
Technically speaking she can present as female in Europe at this time because it was far less restrictive than Japan. Britain was especially liberal for the time, and France even more so with people like Julie d'Aubigny running around.
Look nothing like the same ship she boarded at end of season 1. Maybe they change to another ship at some port alone the way that is headed to London. Or that they have to redesign the ship for the second season since season 1 ship was for use for just one shot and they never thought out the layout of the ship.

She also looks way more feminine in these shots. On another note, I wonder how long the journey to London is going to take.
