Sea sailing and standing watch
The ship’s crew stands watch in three shifts. These shifts are called the Red Watch (from 12- 4 AM and PM), the White Watch (from 4-8 AM and PM) and the Blue Watch (from 8-12 AM and PM).
If you like, you can join one of these watches. This way you can fully experience the works on a ship like Stad Amsterdam. Setting the sails, keeping lookout, setting the course or standing watch: you can participate in all of it.
As a member of the Red Watch you can enjoy the quiet of the sea and the endless starry skies. In the White Watch you will experience the break of dawn like you never did before while in the Blue Watch you can enjoy the sailing while maintaining a regular day and night rhythm.
The meals are enjoyed along with the crew in the long room at times adjusted to the watches. Every night the captain will give a short briefing of the mileage made on the past day, the mileage to go and any other points of interest.
Imagine standing on the lookout surrounded by nothing but the sea! The seas, being rough every now and then, maybe some other ships and sometimes even dolphins playfully dancing just ahead of the bow. On the other hand, one could also relax reading a book in the long room. We have a well stocked library on board.
All and all ingredients for an unforgettable experience!
Please, be aware that the weather conditions can affect the amount of sailing time. In strong weather conditions we are sometimes forced to reduce sail and to use the motor.
