The ship

The Clipper Stad Amsterdam was built at the initiative of Randstad and the municipality of Amsterdam. The ship is registered under the Dutch flag, as passenger ship. It has authentic square rigging and a pointed bow. On the 60-metre long, wooden deck, the passengers can enjoy the towering rigging, impressive yards and endless quantities of rope.

The ship has 14 luxury cabins, a spacious dining room (for dinners and presentations) and an open-air bar. The Stad Amsterdam can be privately booked for business events, luxury cruises and adventurous sailing trips.

It goes without saying that the ship meets all safety requirements (such as the Lloyd's Register Shipping Inspection, the Dutch Shipping Inspection, Safety Of Life at Sea Certificate, Passenger Safety Certificate and the US Coast Guard Certificate).
