Board the clipper on Martinique and sail northwards along islands, each of which tells its very own natural history.
Discover the rainforests and volcanic landscapes of Dominica, La Soufrière on Guadeloupe, the scenery of Montserrat shaped by volcanic eruptions, and the lush green craters of Sint Eustatius and Saba.
Along the way, scientists and local experts share background knowledge about the landscapes and ecosystems you visit.
Led by Dr Erik Meesters from Wageningen University & Research, you'll get to know the Caribbean from completely new perspectives.
In a small group of fellow travellers – with the clipper as your floating home – the passage between the islands becomes an integral part of your voyage of discovery.
From Fort-de-France, the clipper sets course northwards through the eastern Caribbean. The route passes through a world of rainforests, volcanoes, coral reefs and islands that can look back on an eventful maritime history.
Along the way, scientists and local experts provide insights into the landscapes and ecosystems you explore together.
Dominica: Visit Fort Shirley and take a boat trip on the Indian River. Choose a hike to the Boiling Lake or discover the volcanic activity underwater whilst diving or snorkelling at Champagne Reef.
Îles des Saintes & Guadeloupe: Explore Terre-de-Haut on foot and venture into the lush volcanic landscape of La Soufrière on Guadeloupe.
Antigua & Montserrat: Immerse yourself in the maritime history of Nelson's Dockyard and visit Montserrat to see how the eruptions of the Soufrière Hills have permanently transformed the island's landscape and its former capital, Plymouth.
St Kitts & Sint Eustatius: Visit Brimstone Hill and South Friar Bay. On Sint Eustatius, volcanic nature, history and underwater archaeology combine around the volcano The Quill and the settlement of Oranjestad.
Saba & Sint Maarten: Hike up Mount Scenery or explore the marine ecosystem around the Saba Bank. The clipper then sets course for Marigot, where your voyage finally ends.
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're 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 and a freshly prepared dinner await you – accompanied by inspiring conversations about the day's discoveries.
Sailing, knowledge and hospitality combine in the most natural way.
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.
