On Saturday August 31st we boarded the Royal Clipper ship in Venice, Italy.

Royal Clipper is the largest, full-rigged sailing ship in the world, boasting state-of-the-art navigation systems, superb services, and the amenities and accommodations of the finest modern yacht. With her 42 sails, the Royal Clipper is a sight to behold. This is not a cruise ship in the ordinary sense, as you will find that there are no rigid schedules, and you are free to do as you wish with your days and evenings.

Royal Clipper features 19,000 square feet of open deck and three swimming pools. The spacious outdoor environment has hidden balconies on either side of the bow and passenger lookout crows-nests, which you can climb to with a safety harness to enjoy panoramic views. A marina platform lowers from the stern for watersports.

She offers the ultimate tall ship sailing experience, balancing the grandeur, adventure, and tradition of sailing with the superb service, amenities, and accommodations of the finest modern yacht. Choose a cabin or suite for one to three passengers from the Commodore Deck, Clipper Deck, or Main Deck. She is part of the legendary Star Clippers Fleet and sails over a dozen fabulous cruise itineraries in the Caribbean and Mediterranean.

Interior spaces include a three-deck atrium and a three-level dining room. Enjoy deliciously prepared cuisine in an open-seating, no-tie dress code setting. You’ll find the service to be friendly and gracious. The Captain Nemo Lounge is the spa and health club site with underwater glass portholes.

Enjoy the conviviality of fellow shipmates while local performers share authentic local music and arts. Hear great story-telling from the Captain or join in on knot-tying and navigation classes that have evolved from the ship’s sailing heritage.
