Overview

Royal Clipper

Go back to the early days of sea travel in a way that the great explorers once roamed the world on the 5,000-ton Royal Clipper, one of a few sailing ships left in the world. Inspired by the legendary Preussen, a Royal Clipper cruise is not an experience to be missed. Enjoy the quiet serenity of a vessel shuttled across the water simply powered by the wind and the ultimate practice of old-world romanticism that should define luxury travel.

Things to Do

Despite being a simple sailing vessel, there are no shortages of modern amenities and luxuries aboard the 227-guest Royal Clipper. All staterooms and suites aboard this square rigger are equipped with a TV, DVD player, satellite phone, a safe, and a marbled bathroom with a shower and a hair dryer. Suites include a sitting area, mini-bar, 24-hour room service, and a whirlpool tub in the bathroom. When you’re not soaking up the privacy of your room, you’re free to:

  • Relax deck-side in one of the three onboard saltwater pools;
  • Enjoy the free watersports marina for a more exhilarating type of activity;
  • Kick back and have a drink at the fully outfitted Piano Bar or Tropical Bar;
  • Work out in the gym or do yoga on the open deck;
  • Get a relaxing massage in the spa;
  • Read a book or play a board game in the library, and do so much more.

With 19,000 square feet of open deck, the possibilities aboard Royal Clipper are endless. The Star Clippers square rigger has hidden balconies on either side of the bow where you can enjoy a secret sanctuary. You can also look out for dolphins from the bowsprit net suspended above the ocean or climb the mast to one of the iconic lookout spots called "crow’s nests."

Clipper Dining Room

Activities are not the only extent of the luxury found onboard Royal Clipper. Boasting a full-service kitchen with an expertly trained cooking staff, meals aboard this cruise square rigger will never cease to impress. From a full breakfast including fresh tropical fruit, various types of meat, and freshly baked pastries to a full lunch buffet of succulent seafood, garden-fresh salads, and grilled favorites all the way to a 5-star dinner, your taste buds will be guaranteed to leave Royal Clipper fully satisfied.

Your dream vacation is just one click or call away. Don’t miss out on the exclusive savings and limited-time deals you’ll get by booking with us. Contact us now to start instantly saving on your next Royal Clipper cruise.

Ship Highlights

Dining

Royal Clipper serves up some of the best international cuisine in the cruising industry in an open-seating format. You are free to dine whenever and with whomever you wish, including Royal Clipper's officers, who join guests in the dining room most nights. If the day includes a stop at one of the paradisaical islands that the sailing ship frequents, you might also be treated to a succulent outdoor shoreside barbecue.

Royal Clipper will take you to amazing destinations!

Activities

A windsurfer traces a zig-zag wake over dancing wavetops. A snorkeler floats over a garden blooming with purple and rose coral. A diver plays tag with a school of clown fish darting in and out of an underwater wreck. On Royal Clipper, the day proceeds at your own pace, whatever that may be. If it’s a relaxation day, treat yourself to a skin-glowing facial or a stress-relieving massage in the beautiful Captain Nemo Lounge, with portholes that offer you a mesmerizing underwater view. If it's a beach day, you can swim, windsurf, snorkel, water ski, kayak, or sail a dinghy. Royal Clipper's sports staff will be happy to offer assistance, should you require it.

No Two Days Alike

Royal Clipper will take you to remote reefs, underwater wrecks, and blue lagoons where marine species are in abundance. You can be confident that your environmentally-friendly sailing ship will leave the world's pristine places as clean and unpolluted as when it arrived. Whether you elect to glide among the emerald-clad jewels of the Caribbean, enjoy the incomparable adventure of an epic ocean crossing, be beguiled by the ancient, sun-warmed ports of the Mediterranean, or be intrigued by the beautiful cities of European countries, each and every Royal Clipper cruise will be a little bit different from the one before and/or after.

Your ticket to relaxation and rejuvenation awaits, as do big savings and exclusive offers. Call us now - we’re ready to assist you today!

Interior

If you’re a traveler who wants to have more spending money for excursions, cocktails, spa treatments, or specialty dining, then an Interior stateroom is a fabulous option. It is usually the least expensive fare. Interior staterooms do not have a window, so it’s a great choice for those who are looking for a great night’s sleep (this is an especially good choice for quickly overcoming jet lag if you’re traveling in a different time zone). Depending on where your Interior stateroom is located, you’ll generally feel less movement (great for preventing seasickness). Finally, with the least amount of living space, you’ll feel more motivated to spend as much time as you can exploring the ship and getting the most valuable experience for your money.

Inside Stateroom

Category Approx. size Location
6 108 sq. ft. Clipper (Deck 2) (forward)
Inside Stateroom - Bedroom Inside Stateroom - Bedroom
