Royal Clipper Cruise Ship

The largest fully-rigged sailing ship in the world, Royal Clipper will take your breath away, even before you step aboard. With her five masts, 42 billowing sails and over 1,8940 square feet of deck she looks just like a Tall Ship from the golden age of sail.

But once you cast off on Royal Clipper you'll not only experience the romance of yesteryear, but all the comfort and luxury of modern-day sail cruising, including swimming pools, spa and health club, fine dining and the option of a Deluxe suite with your own private verandah.

Lifestyle onboard your Star Clippers ship

All but six of Royal Clipper's 98 cabins have a view of the ocean and all enjoy hotel-style amenities - including marble lined bathroom, TV and DVD player, in-house video, hairdryer and safe, as well as tasteful, quality furnishings. Opt for one of her Deluxe suites and you'll also have your own private verandah, a whirlpool bath and 24-hour room service.

Royal Clipper carries up to 227 guests so there's an intimate atmosphere onboard with lots of opportunity to enjoy the good company of fellow guests and personalised service from your crew.

The dress code is informal so there's no need for a suit or tie at dinner and the open-seating policy means you can dine at your own table or sit with whoever you wish.

This is a cruise with a difference, so you won't find Broadway-style shows or poolside movie screens, but there's always a convivial buzz between the crew and guests whether you're dining, sipping cocktails or enjoying a fascinating sea-faring tale from your Captain.

Daytime cruising on Royal Clipper

You can do what you want, when you want on Royal Clipper. There are huge expanses of deck and hidden balconies on either side of the bow where you can sit back and read or just watch the world go by.

Take a dip in one of three sparkling pools or enjoy a relaxing massage at the spa and health club where you have a unique view of the ocean through Royal Clipper's underwater portholes.

If you're feeling active, there's a marina platform that can be lowered from the stern for watersports and diving or why not scale the mast and spy the fantastic views from the 'crow's nest' - you'll be attached to a safety harness of course!

Your evening cruise entertainment

Evenings on your sail cruise are every bit as casual and easy going as your days. Gather in the Tropical Bar where your bar tender will mix your favourite cocktail before dinner. Enjoy good conversation over a fabulous meal and take in the fresh salty air and wonderful ocean views with an after-dinner stroll.

Later you can join your shipmates in the Piano Bar and sing along to your favourite tunes. Or perhaps enjoy being entertained by local performers showcasing traditional music and arts from your latest port of call. At the end your evening, why not grab a night cap and head up on deck to gaze at the stars and listen to the sea breezes as they billow out the sails.

Dining on Royal Clipper

As the ship's three deck atrium funnels sunlight into her elegant dining room, you can take a seat at the table of your choice and await your chefs' culinary creations. Wonderful seafood, succulent meats and the freshest ingredients are combined in mouthwatering menus to please any palate.

Add a selection of fine wines and impeccable service and it's easy to see why dining on Royal Clipper makes every evening an extra special experience.
