The Rembrandt van Rijn is well suited for expedition cruising among small islands in the Arctic and offers good open deck viewing areas.
Originally built as a herring lugger in the early twentieth century, the vessel was rebuilt as a three-masted passenger sailing schooner in 1994, and sailed in Spitsbergen (1994-96) and the Galapagos (1998-2001). She then underwent a complete rebuild and refurbishment programme until 2011. It's now equipped with modern communication and navigation systems, fully compliant with the latest SOLAS regulations.
The Rembrandt van Rijn has an experienced crew of 12, including two guides. Two Zodiac inflatables are used for shore landings and wildlife viewing in areas that would otherwise be inaccessible.
The ship cruises at an average speed of 6.5 knots and accommodates up to 33 passengers in 16 cabins. The cabin options include one triple cabin with a porthole, six twin inside cabins, and nine twin cabins with portholes.
