Latest technology, in old style
Stad Amsterdam is a modern three-masted clipper built in 2000 based on a mid-19th century frigate named Amsterdam. It's not a replica because its hull is made of steel and not wood.
To the surprise of many, this ship is actually owned by the city of Amsterdam and its mission is to promote Amsterdam around the world.
Stad Amsterdam offers both adventurous sailing and luxury cruises. Its 2014 sailing schedule includes:
1) 2014 August: adventurous sailing between Hamburg and Portsmouth
2) 2014 September: day sailing trips in IJmuiden (Netherlands)
3) 2014 November to December: IJmuiden to Leixoes (Portugal) to Santa Cruz (Aruba) to Martinique.
