The tall ship IRIS was built in 1916 as a fine example of the last generation of sailing luggers. From her homeport Rotterdam IRIS cruises all over NW Europe offering sailing holidays, day sails, corporate events and she is a regular guest at the major maritime festivals.The traditional appearance and historical importance of the ship are perfectly balanced with the modern demands of comfort and safety. IRIS is fast, exceptionally seaworthy, and certainly deserves her name. IRIS, she who travels with the wind.
