Ship Overview

The fleet's smallest and oldest vessel—a three-mast sailing schooner built in 1924—offers authentic tall-ship expeditions where guests actively participate in sailing operations, handling sails, steering, and standing night watches.

As Oceanwide's first vessel, Rembrandt van Rijn attracts a younger demographic (ages 30-55 versus 45-65 on motor vessels) seeking participatory sailing adventures. The ship carries only 2 Zodiacs for landings. Three meals daily of international cuisine are served buffet-style by the onboard cook.
