Why Sail Aboard Rembrandt van Rijn?
The Rembrandt van Rijn is a historic three-mast schooner that dates back to 1947. It was commissioned as a herring lugger. In 2011, the ship was rebuilt and refitted as an expedition sailing ship for exploring Arctic waters, meeting the latest SOLAS requirements, including communication and navigation equipment.
The ship takes just 33 guests, making it one of the smallest ships exploring the Arctic. It has a crew of 12 and two expedition guides.
It’s an excellent choice for travellers who prefer a classic ship and an authentic expedition with a small group of people. The ship is well suited to exploring smaller bays and otherwise inaccessible areas that larger ships cannot reach.
The sailing ship is equipped with 2 Zodiac landing craft for Zodiac excursions and enables landings on the shore with the ship’s guide team.
Passengers are typically independent-minded travellers interested in exploring remote polar regions. The camaraderie and group spirit that develop aboard are essential parts of the expedition experience.
