Oosterschelde is the last remaining Dutch three-masted topsail schooner. She was built in 1918 as a cargo ship and carried freight all over Europe.
After an extensive restoration at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s she regained her original appearance and today sails worldwide, from the Canary Islands to Antarctica.
Guests are accommodated in two-berth cabins and join in the sail handling as much as they like.
