Stad Amsterdam

Your sailing adventure starts right here!

 

The Clipper in Amsterdam

There is currently no travel offer available due to the measures as a result of COVID-19. 

Until the end of March the Clipper will be at the Dutch national maritime museum in Amsterdam. It was precisely this location where the Clipper was completed in the period 1998-2000. It really feels like coming home and we are fortunate to have such a nice berth in the heart of Amsterdam, our home port.

Sailing Holidays on board the Clipper

Due to the measures taken as a result of COVID-19, there are no sailing trips available at the moment.

Are you a true sailing fan and are you dreaming about a sailing holiday onboard the Clipper Stad Amsterdam? Normally we organise adventurous sailing holidays, luxury sailing cruises, city sailing trips and in April and December we sail across the Atlantic Ocean.

Hopefully soon we may invite you to sail with us again.
Even when you have very little sailing experience a voyage on the Clipper is a perfect opportunity to learn about life at sea and sailing aboard a tall ship.

Join our crew

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 squarerigged three-master and explain the various sailing manoeuvres and the names of the sails and rigging.

 

Meals and accomodation

Meals are taken together with the crew in the clipper’s longroom 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.

Travel stories

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!
