The Gatsby Fleet
All ships will be designed in the same style of the Gatsby Lounge. So luxury, design but most of all our service will set a new standard.
About the sustainable fleet of Gatsby Cruises
- We will operate several types of vessels; An ‘IJveer’ with over 90 years of ‘experience', clippers who will be our Hop On & Hop Off ships on the river IJ, a 1920's tender who will take charge of hotel transfers and vessels who will service the canals in Amsterdam centre.
- For the canals we will have some of the most beautiful salon boats in Amsterdam, plus several Tjalks from the 1900’s.
- All canal ships will have electric propulsion.
Construction schedule Hop On & Hop Off ships
- We will start acquiring and building ships by October2020.
- We start with a total of 10 ships, expanding to 17.
- The vessels are in service all year long, 15 to 20 hours a day.
An important 'lady'; the IJveer XIV from 1930, which (after 90 years!) again sets sail on the river IJ.
- After her re-fit she will become a luxury floating lounge with a capacity of 190 guests, perfect for larger events such as Sail Amsterdam this year.
- She has a private jetty at the NDSM yard (too big for ours).
- The NDSM yard is a tourist attraction by itself, attracting 8 mio visitors last year (free ferry leaves CS every 15m).
- We'll make sure a cold refreshment is waiting for you!
