Overview
In 1902, the largest, fastest sailing ship the world had ever seen was launched. The legendary Preussen dominated the seas, and the world has not seen such a magnificent sailing ship since - until now. If you're looking to experience the true romance of the sea, then be one of the pampered guests on the Royal Clipper - the largest and only five-mast full-rigged sailing ship afloat. It's the perfect way to explore small ports and gems of the Caribbean. Just traveling the sea by wind-power is an experience you'll not forget.

 

With its white sails gleaming in the sun, the Royal Clipper will show us a very unique view of the Caribbean, winding between lush volcanic islands and stopping in private, protected anchorages in the Windward Islands.

We set sail from Bridgetown, on the wild and rugged coast of Barbados. The isolated beaches here are the color of sunrise, the red sands having blown all the way across the Atlantic from the Sahara. Bridgetown is a fascinating town, revealing its British-influenced heritage with traditions like cricket and high tea (George Washington actually did sleep here!). 

 

The Clipper experience is relaxed. We set our sails to the wind and the sea. Our ports will include some of the best of the southern Caribbean, and at stops where most cruise ships are unable to go. This isn't a "barefoot" cruise. Luxury and attention-to-detail eminates throughout from the gleaming, polished woodwork and beautiful two-story atrium to the incredible black and white marble bathrooms.

Venue
The 439 ft. 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. Relax in the nets under the bow sprit as the sea glides beneath you. Or climb the mast (safety harness provided) to one of the passenger lookout "crows' nests," for the grandest view of all. Royal Clipper's interior spaces are just as sizzling: a 3-deck atrium that funnels sunlight into the elegantly appointed, 3-level dining room. A convenient marina platform lowers from the stern for diving.





Highlights include:

  • Snorkeling & scuba diving
  • Drop down sports deck
  • Beautiful beaches
  • RSVP dances & entertainment
  • Marble private baths
  • Beautiful teak decks
  • Three swimming pools
  • Three story dining room atrium
  • Ride on the bow sprit net
  • Excursions, hiking and shopping
  •  

    Activities
    Life aboard the Royal Clipper takes you at the pace you're most comfortable with. There are plenty of activities to keep you busy all day long if you like. Take a tour in one of our enchanting ports of call, play in the pool, try snorkeling or scuba diving, relax in the nets under the bow sprit, grab a lounge chair and enjoy some time in the sun, catch up on your reading in the library or hang out with your friends old and new at the Tropical Bar. In the evening, enjoy a scrumptious dessert and cabaret-style entertainment sure to please after a night of elegant dining. Late night we'll even pump up the music at the Tropical Bar and enjoy dancing in the open air.
