Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all included during your Clipper Voyage. Breakfast is served buffet-style, along with coffee, tea, milk, and fruit juices. Lunch and dinner consist of multiple courses and are served either plated or buffet-style, depending on the day’s schedule and weather.

Whenever possible, we dine outside on deck. At other times, meals are served in our welcoming longroom, or a packed lunch is provided for your excursions ashore. Our chefs also prepare light bites to accompany our daily sunset drinks.

House wines, beer, soft drinks, coffee, and tea are included in your ticket price. Cocktails, spirits, specialty beers, and premium wines outside our house selection are charged separately to your cabin account.

All guests are obliged to have a valid passport with them on board Clipper Stad Amsterdam.

Always inquire about the rules for the validity period of your passport for the country you are traveling to. In many countries, a passport is required to be valid for several months beyond the date of entry/departure.

VISUM
It is crucial and your own responsibility to check and arrange visa requirements for the countries you are traveling to and traveling from.

The best way to determine if you need a visa to enter a specific country is by contacting the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

For the French side of Sint Maarten (Saint-Martin), a valid passport is required. Please ensure your passport remains valid for at least six months beyond your return date; national ID cards are not accepted.

Additionally, you are required to register your trip in advance via the official Sint Maarten government website.

Our ship is equipped with satellite technology to provide Wi-Fi connectivity during your journey. The shipping company offers 200 MB of data per person per day for sending and receiving data. Please note that the connection may be slower compared to onshore services.
If you require additional data, you can purchase an extra 200 MB package for €20.
Keep in mind that depending on the ship’s course, there may be times when the satellite signal is unavailable, and therefore, internet connectivity cannot be guaranteed.

Friends and family at home can always track the live location of the ship through our website (homepage).

HEALTH STATEMENT

When booking your voyage, we ask you to complete a health statement. If you indicate any medical conditions, medication use, or physical limitations, the ship’s doctor may contact you to discuss your situation.

If there is any doubt about whether participating is medically or physically safe, the ship’s doctor can advise the captain. The final decision on participation always rests with the captain. The vessel has a small sickbay on board. Please always inform the ship’s doctor as fully as possible about any relevant medical conditions and medications.

PHYSICAL FITNESS AND MEDICAL CERTIFICATE

Guests who are 75 years or older at the start of the trip must provide a valid maritime medical certificate.

During this voyage, the Clipper regularly anchors in bays. For shore transfers, we use a tender (dinghy). You will step in and out of the tender from a platform. Due to the movement of the ship, the tender, and the waves, this requires sufficient mobility, balance, and physical stability.

To safely participate in the voyage, you must be able to independently:

* Step over a threshold of approximately 60 cm (2 feet);
* Move around a moving ship;
* Step in and out of the tender from the platform, even with some swell.

A reasonable level of overall fitness and sufficient independent mobility are therefore essential.

**DOCTOR ON BOARD**

We aim to have a doctor on board during multi-day sailing trips. When a ship’s doctor is present, they are your first point of contact for any medical questions or health concerns.

SAFETY ON BOARD

During the welcome briefing, the captain and designated crew members will inform you about the safety procedures on board.

Please keep in mind that the ship is constantly in motion. As a result, items can tip over or slide, and doors can slam shut unexpectedly. Always stow your personal belongings securely and do not leave doors open unnecessarily. Never hold onto a door or doorframe when the door can move. Always follow the instructions of the crew.

Some countries require proof of vaccination for travellers wishing to enter or exit the country.
Travel requirements are updated often, so we recommend always checking the latest entry requirements before your trip.

Please note that you are responsible for staying informed about and complying with all travel advice and entry requirements for your journey to and from the ship. These arrangements fall entirely under your own responsibility.

We strongly recommend arriving at the port of embarkation one day prior to departure. This simple precaution ensures a stress-free start to your journey, as the ship must keep to its schedule and cannot delay departure in the event of travel delays.

February generally falls within the dry season in the eastern Caribbean. You can expect tropical temperatures, plenty of sunshine, and a steady trade wind. However, short rain showers remain possible, and on the higher volcanic islands, the weather can change quickly. As a result, hiking trails may be wet or slippery.

Wind, waves, and local conditions can affect both our route and daily schedule. This also applies to hikes, shore landings, diving, and snorkeling activities. The captain may decide to adjust the itinerary, use the engine, or arrive at a destination earlier or later than planned. Safety and the smooth, responsible execution of the Nature Voyage always come first.
