Eendracht

The Eendracht is a majestic three-masted tall ship and one of the largest classic sailing vessels in the Netherlands, offering unforgettable bookable cruise and sail training experiences for adventurers of all ages. Built in 1989 and proudly flying the Dutch flag, this magnificent schooner was commissioned by Queen Beatrix and remains a beloved icon at major sailing events like The Tall Ships’ Races — where it inspires teamwork, camaraderie, and a love of the sea. Stretching nearly 60 metres long with a vast sail area and elegant rigging, Eendracht combines the thrill of authentic tall ship sailing with comfortable amenities for multi-day cruises. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced sailor, the professional crew welcomes you aboard to learn traditional seamanship, help hoist the sails, steer the ship, or simply relax on deck watching the wind fill the canvas. Inside, the ship offers cozy shared living quarters and a vibrant day room where meals are shared and friendships are forged. With options for individual travelers, group charters, corporate team-building voyages, and youth sail programs, Eendracht delivers a personal and immersive way to explore coastal and open-sea itineraries across the Baltic, North Sea, Canary Islands, and beyond. From its proud Dutch heritage and participation in global tall ship gatherings to the hands-on sailing action and unforgettable sunsets at sea, a cruise on the Eendracht tall ship is more than a trip — it’s a journey into maritime tradition and adventure.
