Sailing Holidays on board the Clipper Stad Amsterdam

We organize adventurous sailing vacations and luxury sailing cruises throughout the year, including crossings of the Atlantic Ocean in April and December. Even if you don't have any sailing experience, you are more than welcome to join us for a relaxing and unforgettable holiday aboard the Clipper.
In 2023-2025, the Clipper Stad Amsterdam sets sail for the world tour! On our homepage, you can read all about our world tour which started on August 18th of this year.

The Clipper offered a range of fantastic luxury Caribbean cruises in the first months of 2023. The sailing area is truly stunning, and the onboard experience was unforgettable.
Following the luxury cruise season, the Clipper Stad Amsterdam set a course for the East Coast of the United States, visiting cities such as Fort Lauderdale, Baltimore, New York, and Boston in the spring. In May, the annual Atlantic Ocean crossing to the Azores and then to Ibiza, Spain, was scheduled.
During the summer and fall, sailing enthusiasts joined us for voyages to European destinations including Genoa, Livorno, La Coruña, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Amsterdam, and Ostend. We conclude the current year with a transatlantic crossing to the Caribbean in December.
