Royal Clipper

SHIP OVERVIEW

 

In 1902, the largest, fastest sailing ship the world had ever seen was launched. The legendary Preussen dominated the seas, only to be gone in a few short years. Neither before nor since had the world seen such a magnificent sailing ship. Until today. Inspired by the tall ship Preussen, the Royal Clipper has the proud distinction of being the largest and only five-masted full-rigged sailing ship built since her predecessor was launched at the beginning of the last century. With her complement of 42 sails, Royal Clipper is a splendid sight to behold.  You might think she was an apparition from the grand age of sail, but Royal Clipper is as new as tomorrow, boasting state-of-the-art navigation systems and every comfort and luxury one could wish for. For connoisseurs of sail cruising, the 439 foot Royal Clipper offers the ultimate sea-going experience, balancing the grandeur, adventure and tradition of sailing with the superb service, amenities and accommodations of the finest modern yacht. Royal Clipper carries just 227 guests in luxurious style. A full 19,000 square feet of open deck and three swimming pools create a wonderfully spacious and expansive outdoor environment.

Marvelous Sailing from Lisbon to Málaga

MAY

PROS

Beautiful ship, sails up, first class

CONS

RECOMMENDED

Yes

We enjoyed a magical cruise and beautiful ports. No entertainment like big cruise ships-we did not need it. We met many new friends, and the days and nights were full enough. Climbed the rigging, hoisted a sail, toasted our victories.

Caribbean Windward Islands

PROS

Sailing majority of travel time

CONS

no little refrigerator in cabin, limited time in ports.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

<div>The Royal Clipper is a &quot;Sailing Passenger Vessel&quot;, currently worldwide there are about 50 such ships. The Royal Clipper is the largest of them. The &quot;Windward Island&quot; cruise has the best chance of sailing the majority of time. We were under sail about 80% of the time. You will feel the ocean movements much more than on a large cruise ship.&nbsp;</div>
