Svalbard, the white desert
We are about to check out and board the Rembrandt van Rijn. On Oceanwide Expeditions I read that the s / v ‘Rembrandt van Rijn’ was built at the beginning of the last century as a Haring logger. The ship was rebuilt in 1994 in the Netherlands into a three-masted passenger schooner and has previously sailed on Spitsbergen (1994 – 1996) and the Galapagos (1998 – 2001). The ship was completely rebuilt and renovated in 2011. And now it is sailing again on Spitsbergen.
