About Rembrandt van Rijn
Rembrandt van Rijn is a three-masted schooner that started out as a Dutch fishing lugger; Wikipedia traces her to 1924, while Oceanwide dates the hull to 1947. She has been lengthened three times and served as a coaster under several flags before being rebuilt as a passenger schooner in 1994, after which she sailed in Spitsbergen and the Galápagos and went through a full rebuild completed in 2011. She carries 33 guests in 16 cabins with 10 crew and 2 guides, and her ice-strengthened hull is rated for Svalbard and Greenland waters. Oceanwide sails her on summer voyages around Spitsbergen from Longyearbyen and on autumn trips along Iceland's north coast from Akureyri.
