The Clipper Stad Amsterdam is already on her way to Panama at the moment.
We are about to arrive at Curaçao and the ship is starting to look neat and tidy again. The crew is working very hard to prepare for the next cruise as much as possible. Everyone knows that when all the work is done, an afternoon off at Curacao will be the reward.
