Board the clipper in Sint Maarten and sail south along islands, each telling its very own natural history story.
Discover the lush volcanic craters of Saba and St Eustatius, the landscape of Montserrat shaped by volcanic eruptions, La Soufrière on Guadeloupe, and the rainforests and volcanic landscapes of Dominica.
Along the way, scientists and local experts provide insights into the landscapes and ecosystems you visit. Led by Dr Erik Meesters from Wageningen University & Research, you will experience the Caribbean from completely new perspectives.
In a small group of fellow travellers – with the clipper as your floating home – sailing between the islands becomes an essential part of this voyage of discovery.
From Sint Maarten, "Clipper Stad Amsterdam" sets course south through the eastern Caribbean. Volcanic islands, rainforests and fascinating underwater worlds shape a landscape in constant transformation.
Scientists and local experts provide you with fascinating background information about the destinations you visit.
* Saba & Statia: Hike through volcanic landscapes up to Mount Scenery or to the green crater of "The Quill".
* St Kitts & Antigua: Discover the fortress of Brimstone Hill and the maritime history of Nelson's Dockyard.
* Montserrat: Experience how the eruptions of the Soufrière Hills have transformed the island and its former capital Plymouth.
* Guadeloupe & Îles des Saintes: Hike to the volcano La Soufrière and enjoy the relaxed island life by the sea.
* Dominica: Explore rainforests, rivers and volcanically shaped nature – or snorkel at "Champagne Reef" amidst rising warm bubbles.
* Martinique: Your voyage ends in Fort-de-France.
Previous experience is not required; enthusiasm and a sense of adventure are quite enough.
The Clipper Stad Amsterdam is a magnificent three-masted tall ship with 31 sails and an overall length of 76 metres.
She has sailed the world's oceans since 2000, continuing the legacy of the great clippers. Under the expert guidance of our professional crew, you will become an integral part of the ship.
Even if you have no prior experience at all, go ahead and give it a try! The experienced and friendly crew will be delighted to share their seafaring knowledge with you.
Whether you're helping to trim the total of 2,200 square metres of sail area, standing lookout watch or simply taking in the breathtaking horizon: you are no longer a mere spectator—you are an explorer.
During your clipper cruise, breakfast, lunch and dinner are included in the travel price.
Breakfast is served buffet-style, accompanied by coffee, tea, milk and fruit juices. Lunch and dinner consist of several courses and are either served at the table or offered as a buffet—depending on the day's programme and weather.
Whenever possible, we take meals outside on deck. Alternatively, meals take place in our inviting salon; for shore excursions we will prepare a packed lunch for you if required.
In addition, our cooks prepare small snacks for you to enjoy with your daily sundowner drink.
House wines, beer, soft drinks, coffee and tea are included in the travel price. Cocktails, spirits, speciality beers and wines beyond our house selection are charged separately to your cabin account.
On this nature voyage, the sea is far more than just a connection between the islands.
From the deck you watch as volcanically shaped coasts slowly draw nearer whilst the trade winds fill the sails.
Scientists and local experts give you a deeper understanding of the landscapes, the marine world and the ecosystems along the route.
You are warmly invited to help the crew set the sails, take the helm yourself or learn more about the ship – or simply relax on deck and enjoy the view.
After an active day ashore, you return to the clipper, where a drink, a freshly prepared dinner and inspiring conversations await you.
From the clipper's deck you have the perfect vantage point.
Under sail the ship is considerably quieter, which increases the likelihood that marine life will approach the vessel.
Binoculars are always to hand to help you spot the diverse wildlife along our route.
