In the welcome speech, the first officer will explain the safety procedures on board. Please be aware that once the ship is in motion, things can fall over or slide and doors can slam shut. We advise you to store your belongings securely and keep doors closed.

When booking the trip we request that you fill out a Health Statement and the ship’s doctor may contact you to discuss the particulars. The approval of your health statement is required before your booking becomes definite.
If someone has a limited physical condition, which may pose a genuine risk onboard, the ship’s doctor may advise excluding that passenger from the trip.  

The ship is equipped with a small infirmary. Our ship’s doctor must be fully informed of any medical conditions and/or the use of medication before embarkation so these can be taken into account in any situation that may arise.

The ship is equipped with modern communication devices but facilities are limited. Mobile phones work up to 3 miles from the coast. Further at sea calls can be made via the ship’s satellite phone at € 2,50 per minute.

A VSAT installation has been installed to facilitate WIFI connectivity. Depending on the ship’s course, the VSAT may not make a connection with the satellite sometimes. An internet connection is therefore not guaranteed and will be slower than what you are used to ashore. The shipping company offers 50 MB per person per day to send and/or receive data. It is possible to buy extra MBs for internet use on board.

Friends and family at home can stay in touch with life on board through our website or Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Every evening after dinner (weather permitting), the captain looks back on that day’s sailing route and presents the weather forecast and route for the following day. During sea voyages, we would welcome your input in the form of an entertaining and/or informative lecture or presentation, for example. A laptop and screen are at your disposal.

We have a variety of blog posts, news articles and other fun and/or special facts about the Clipper on our website in our news and blog section.

The Clipper Stad Amsterdam has a small shop on board where you can buy clipper merchandise such as polo shirts, jackets and high-quality fleece sweaters. Payment can be made to the Hospitality Manager at the end of the journey.

If you order products from our webshop, we will confirm your purchase and send you an invoice by e-mail.
