The Vega 1909 – Stay on a Historic Wooden Schooner in Amsterdam

Step aboard The Vega 1909, a historic wooden schooner moored at Amsterdam’s creative NDSM Wharf.
Built in 1909 in Sweden, this former cargo vessel has been carefully restored to offer guests a genuine maritime experience — simple, authentic, and full of character.

The Vega is not a luxury yacht, but rather a living piece of history.
It offers travelers the chance to sleep aboard an original sailing ship, surrounded by the scent of old wood and the quiet rhythm of the water.
Inside, you’ll find a comfortable galley kitchen, a cozy lounge and wooden cabins that accommodate up to 12 guests.
It’s the perfect stay for families, friends, or groups looking for something unique and memorable.

Guests are welcome to enjoy the main deck, the kitchen, and the exhibition lounge, while the cargo hold, engine room, and captain’s cabin remain restricted for safety.
An officer is always on board to oversee maintenance and assist with any issues — part of the charm and tradition of a real working ship.

The Vega is permanently moored, offering peace, creativity, and direct access to the artistic NDSM district — full of cafés, murals, and open-air culture — just a 15-minute free ferry ride from Amsterdam Central Station.

“The Vega 1909 isn’t about luxury; it’s about authenticity — the rare chance to live and sleep aboard a century-old sailing vessel in one of Europe’s most inspiring cities.”
