Alexander von Humboldt II is a German sailing ship built as a replacement for the ship Alexander von Humboldt, which had been launched in 1906 and used for sail training since 1988. Constructed by Brenn- und Verformtechnik (BVT) in Bremen, the new ship was launched in 2011.{{cite news | url=http://www.spiegel.de/reise/aktuell/neuer-grosssegler-alexander-von-humboldt-ii-in-bremerhaven-getauft-a-788196.html | title=Neuer Großsegler: "Alexander von Humboldt II" in Bremerhaven getauft | work=Der Spiegel | date=24 September 2011 | agency=DPA | accessdate=May 12, 2012}}
Just like her predecessor, the Alexander von Humboldt II is operated by Deutsche Stiftung Sail Training in Bremerhaven which offers sail training for people between 14 and 75 years of age.{{cite web | url=http://www.gruene-segel.de/templates/images/documents/74.pdf | title=Anmeldung zum Segeltörn auf der ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT II | accessdate=May 12, 2012}}
