Travel Guide
Preparation
No specific preparation is needed for passengers on board the Clipper Stad Amsterdam. However, it is advisable to be well-rested. Please ensure to wear comfortable shoes and warm, waterproof clothing. It is always some degrees cooler at sea than on land. You are advised to take out travel insurance and to inform relatives about your travel dates and destination.
Pasport

Be on time
To ensure an efficient departure it is important to time your arrival at the quay correctly. Arriving to early might cause a delay in your embarkation as the ship might not be prepared yet. By arriving late you risk missing the vessel's departure.
Sea sickness
Sea sickness might occur during your first day or first few days at sea. It is not serious and will disappear of its own accord. Although it is impossible to know wether or not it will effect you, there are some of precausions you can take to reduce the risk. Avoid fatigue, hunger and cold. In addition you can minimise your consumption of coffee and alcohol. There is medication available to help against sea sickness. You may obtain these from your pharmacy or chemist. Normally there will be a doctor on board during trips of more than one day. During day trips the First Mate is responsible for medical attention. Your contact person for these, and all other matters, is the Hospitality Manager.
