Adventure and Fun

22 September - 25 September 2017

In the month of September when the summer has just come to an end, the Clipper Stad Amsterdam will be sailing from Hamburg in Germany over the river Elbe, along the German and Dutch "West Frisian Islands" to the famous Dutch harbour Rotterdam in The Netherlands.  Rotterdam is famous for the many architectural treasures such as, for example, the Erasmus bridge.

Enjoy an extended weekend at sea and experience what it is like to sail on a nineteenth century Clipper.

11 September - 16 September 2017

Would you like to end the summer with a short sailing trip on board the Clipper Stad Amsterdam to not only sail on The Tyne, on the North Sea and on the Elbe but also to visit two beautiful cities? We offer you the opportunity this year! Sail with us from Newcastle in England to Hamburg in Germany and enjoy the adventure!

16 July - 23 July 2017

In the late afternoon on Sunday July 16 this sailing adventure will begin in Ibiza. One of the highlights of this trip will be sailing through the Strait of Gibraltar where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea. Enjoy the view of the southern coast of Spain and the northern coast of Morocco at the same time from the deck or the top mast.

The crew works in three shift watches. There’s a red watch (midday to four PM and midnight to four AM), a white watch (four to eight PM and AM) and a blue watch (eight PM to midnight and eight AM to midday). You can indicate your preference for a particular watch.

Under the supervision of the helmsman, you will join the quartermaster and a party of two (or more) crew.

Our crew will be happy to teach you the basics of sailing on a cross-rigged three-master and explain the various sailing manoeuvres and the names of the sails and rigging.

Meals are taken together with the crew in the clipper’s long room and the captain offers regular updates on the ship’s progress, informing you of how many sea miles are left to sail and other nautical points of interest.

There are 14 cabins available for 1, 2 or 3 passengers.

The endless space at sea, the rhythm of red, white and blue watch duty, the dolphins swimming along the side, sometimes even whales to see ... it will make you forget everyday life. Two guests joining on an adventurous crossing earlier like to share their experience with you!
