Stad Amsterdam:
Hamburg (DE) - Travemunde (DE)

14 July - 20 July 2018

* Places at request * Join the clipper Stad Amsterdam in the German port of Hamburg and get to know the crew. The next morning you will sail out and set course for Travemunde on the Baltic Sea. In order to reach your destination you will sail around Denmark and past its northernmost point Skagen, where the North Sea and Baltic meet. Then you will continue south along the Danish coast. This trip is short but filled with adventure and a perfect way to see how it is to sail on a real Tall Ship. Open for all ages, minimum age 15 years.

Ports

Hamburg is Germany’s second-largest city and home to Europe’s second-largest port, a major attraction with its canals, bridges, historic architecture, and the Museumshafen Oevelgönne. Highlights include the Miniatur Wunderland model railway, a walk through the tunnel beneath the Elbe, and the Speicherstadt district, while nature lovers can enjoy the zoo or the Planten un Blomen park.

Travemünde, on the shores of the Trave river near the Baltic Sea, is an important ferry port and sea resort. Its lighthouse is the oldest in Germany, and its port organises the yearly Travemünder Woche sailing contests and the Sand World sand sculpting festival. Take a walk around this relaxed town, have a nice meal, and spend some time on the beach if it’s a nice day. If you’re up for a hike, you’ll find the Palinger Heide close by. The nearby town of Lübeck is also well worth a visit.
