We will be visiting secluded beaches and picturesque fishing villages; beautiful untouched places to explore, indulge in, or just plainly enjoy. A relaxed and unpretentious holiday atmosphere where you do not need to worry about dress codes.
About the Ship
The Motor Yacht “Hans Christian Andersen” was built in 1972 in Groningen, Holland. The initial idea was to create a luxurious sailing-ship for taking wealthy clients on cruises around the Caribbean. Subsequently the ship was converted into a modern style motor vessel serving as a training ship for a Danish navigation school.
The ship was rebuilt in 2006 to serve as an adventure cruise ship, fitted with a new and more powerful engine and all modern navigation equipment. The new adventure cruise ship under a Danish ownership was renamed “Hans Christian Andersen” after the world famous Danish fairytale author and poet.
