Summary

The beautiful Stad Amsterdam sails to some of the most pristine and historically interesting islands in the Lesser Antilles. St. Maarten, St. Barths, St. Kitts, St. Eustatius, Antiqua, Nevis and Barbuda are all on the itinerary. Everyday brings opportunities to swim and snorkel. Then watch or help the sailors climb the rigging to set sail for the next island.

All the wonders of travel are magnified when seen through the eyes of a child, and memories are strongest and most dear when shared with children and grandchildren. This could never be more true than when celebrating the holidays. We have a unique opportunity to present this extraordinary holiday adventure designed for the whole family aboard a true clipper sailing ship, Stad Amsterdam. What theme could be better for a family audience than the exciting adventures of the Caribbean’s pirates?
