Usually we sail according to the following schedule:
In January and February we winter with our guests in the Caribbean where we offer our luxury sailing cruises. After the cruise season, we sail north along the East Coast of the U.S., to Miami, Baltimore, New York and Boston. From Boston, the ship makes the annual Atlantic Ocean crossing. In summer we will arrive in the Mediterranean where we will sail to destinations such as Ibiza, Genoa, Livorno, In late summer we visit Northern Europe and sail to locations such as Hamburg, Amsterdam and Ostend. In the fall we then head south again and sail via Las Palmas back to the Caribbean.
However, this fall marks the start of our new, big adventure, the two-year World Tour that takes you to a host of new destinations! Curious? Check out all the World Tour destinations via the button below.

The ship has modern communications equipment that allows the use of phones and e-mail on board. Up to about 3 miles offshore, everyone’s mobile phone will continue to work. After that, a satellite connection is required to make phone calls. Call charges in that case are €2.50 per minute (for urgent calls only).
The satellite system on board also allows limited Internet through Wi-Fi. However, the connection is slower than you are used to on land. All our guests can send and/or receive 50MB daily at the shipping company’s expense. There is also an option to purchase additional MBs on board. Please keep in mind that depending on the course set there is a possibility that the satellite connection is poor or not working at all. Therefore, it is not guaranteed that you can use the Internet on board at all times.
SHIP’S DOCTOR
When booking your trip, we ask you to complete a health declaration. If you provide details on this, the ship’s doctor can contact you to discuss your situation. Based on observations or strong suspicion of a very limited physical condition and related risks, the ship’s doctor may advise the captain to exclude you as a passenger from the voyage. The final decision in this respect lies with the captain. The ship is equipped with a (small) hospital. Our ship’s doctor may ask you again when meeting you on board to inform them as clearly about your use of medication and/or physical limitations, so they can take this into account.
On multi-day sailing trips, there is usually a doctor on board. They will also be able to provide medication against seasickness. Your first point of contact on the ship for any medical questions, among others, is the first officer.
SAFETY
During the welcome speech, the first officer will brief you on safety aboard the ship. Keep in mind after departing that the ship is in motion and therefore things can fall over, slide around, and doors can slam shut. It is advisable to stow your belongings away and not to leave doors open, or in any case never to lean against a doorpost for too long.
Currently, there are no restrictions or vaccination requirements related to COVID-19. However, keeping up-to-date with (booster) vaccinations is still recommended by authorities worldwide.
The safety of our guests and crew has the highest priority. As part of the prevention of contamination, Clipper Stad Amsterdam as an international passenger ship is not only bound to the measures prescribed by the Dutch government and the RIVM but also to the global measures in place for international passenger ships.
We point out that you should at all times be aware of, and act according to, the travel advice that applies to the journeys to and from the ship. This part of the trip is your own responsibility.

Please keep in mind that unfavourable weather conditions (e.g. insufficient or excess wind) may cause the captain to decide to sail on engine power, or enter/exit a port earlier or later than scheduled.
The ship’s crew stand 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).
We welcome you to join one of these watches. This way you can fully experience how things work on a ship like the Clipper Stad Amsterdam. Setting or furling the sails, keeping the lookout, setting the course or standing watch: you can take part in it all.
As a member of the Red Watch, you can enjoy the peace and quiet of being at sea and the endless starry skies. On the White Watch, you will experience the break of dawn like you never have before, whilst the Blue Watch means can still enjoy the sailing while maintaining a regular day and night rhythm.
