The Clipper Stad Amsterdam, which will be berthing in Victoria Harbour 26-27 June for a series of charter events, is a vessel that marries maritime heritage with modern sophistication. Originating from the shipbuilding meccas of the Netherlands, this 76-metre-long beauty takes inspiration from the swift and stylish clippers of the 19th century. Think of her as the James Bond of the seas—classic, yet impeccably modern.
Launched in 2000 as an homage to the ships that once plied the world’s trade routes, Clipper Stad Amsterdam hails from a long line of Dutch shipbuilding mastery. This clipper is no ordinary vessel; she’s designed to slice through the waves with the elegance of a ballroom dancer and the swiftness of a sports car. Her sleek, streamlined hull is a nod to her illustrious ancestors, built for speed and grace, while her 31 sails – yes, 31, with a total area of 2,200-sqm – ensure speed in all conditions.
