Royal Clipper
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
has the world seen such a magnificent sailing ship.
Until today
Inspired by the legendary Tall Ship, Preussen, the new Royal
Clipper has the proud distinction of being the largest and only
five-masted 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. She boasts state-of-the-art
navigation systems and all the comforts of today.
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
yachts. Royal Clipper carries just 227 guests in luxurious style.
A full 18,940 square feet of open deck and three swimming pools
create a wonderfully spacious and expansive outdoor environment.
Find your secret hideaway on one of the hidden balconies on
either side of the bow.
Climb the mast (with safety harness provided) to one of the
passenger look-out ‘crow’s-nests’, thoughtfully
furnished with comfortable settee, where you’ll have the
grandest view of all! Royal Clipper’s interior spaces are
just as dazzling. They include a 3-deck atrium that funnels
sunlight into the elegantly-appointed dining room, where you'll
enjoy deliciously prepared cuisine and a no-tie dress code.
A convenient marina platform lowers from the stern for
watersports and diving. The ultimate unique Royal Clipper
experience, the one-of-a-kind Captain Nemo Lounge, is the site of
our spa and health club, which features underwater glass
portholes!
