Board the clipper Stad Amsterdam in St Maarten and sail southwards to Martinique in ten unforgettable days.
On the voyage, elegant harbours, sheltered bays and volcanic islands alternate wonderfully with one another. Highlights include visits to St Barths, St Kitts, Montserrat, Les Saintes and the lushly green island of Dominica.
At each destination you determine your own pace. Take a dip in the crystal-clear Caribbean waters, explore an island ashore or join a local excursion.
There is no rigid itinerary: whilst the route is fixed, you enjoy complete freedom to follow your own rhythm and personal interests.
The time at sea between the islands is also an essential part of the voyage. Enjoy the steady trade winds, the view from the deck and the individual service on board. With a small group of guests, comfortable cabins and freshly prepared meals, the clipper becomes your home in the Caribbean.
Please note that the map can only show the planned route. The actual itinerary depends on wind and weather and lies solely at the discretion of the ship's management.
Trip description

* Montserrat: Experience how volcanic activity has shaped the island and learn more about the history of Plymouth.
* Les Saintes: Enjoy the relaxed island life, swim or snorkel and explore Terre-de-Haut.

This voyage is for adventurers who want to feel the power of the open ocean and experience life aboard a tall ship first-hand.
Look forward to fresh winds, foaming waves and plenty of action on deck.
Experience pure sailing pleasure beneath an imposing, endless sky — far from the coast, accompanied by dolphins swimming alongside the clipper's bow.
A voyage for true sailing enthusiasts and the perfect opportunity to experience the clipper in all her glory.
You will get actively involved on board, learn the finer points of sailing and become part of the crew.
Previous experience is not required; enthusiasm and a sense of adventure are quite enough.
This voyage is equally suited to experienced sailors and to anyone dreaming of their first multi-day ocean crossing.
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.
A voyage through the Caribbean makes the journey itself a central part of your holiday. The favourable trade winds on this route offer ideal conditions to cover great distances under full sail.
You are warmly invited to support the crew on deck, take the helm yourself and experience the ship in action up close—but you can of course also simply make yourself comfortable and enjoy the view.
As evening approaches, the clipper often heads for a calm, sheltered bay to anchor there.
Enjoy a refreshing swim in the sea, go snorkelling directly from the ship or relax with a drink on deck whilst our cook prepares dinner or a barbecue on deck for you.
It is the perfect blend of sailing adventure with comfort and hospitality on board.
From the clipper's deck you have the perfect vantage point.
Under sail the ship is noticeably quieter, which increases the likelihood of marine life approaching the vessel. Binoculars are always to hand to help you spot the diverse wildlife along our route.
weather conditions
Please note that in unfavourable weather conditions (e.g. too little or too much wind) the captain may decide to proceed under engine or to call at a harbour earlier or later, or to leave earlier or later.
This voyage is a luxury cruise; our aspiration is to offer our guests first-class service. Please bear in mind, however, that weather—despite our pursuit of excellent service—can occasionally influence certain aspects of the travel experience.
