Description

Royal Clipper is one of the largest cruise ships in the world, and for many years was the flagship of the small Star Clippers fleet. Launched in 2000, it accommodates about 220 passengers on 5 decks. The ship's interiors are fascinating and in true maritime style, from the restaurant to the cabins, where wood is always the dominant feature.
The charm of sailing can be enjoyed to the utmost on the outside decks, where you can enjoy the sea, the sun, or try your hand at real sailor tasks such as using the sextant or unfurling the sails. Royal Clipper offers cruises on fairytale itineraries, with ports of call that are often unusual and inaccessible to large ships.

Un rêve toutes voiles dehors à bord du Royal Clipper

Comment

Je suis partie de Venise (Marghera) pour une croisière enchanteuse à bord du Royal Clipper, un navire unique en son genre qui m’a menée à la découverte des côtes les plus fascinantes de l’Adriatique. Mais ce qui rend cette croisière vraiment exceptionnelle, c’est le navire lui-même : le Royal Clipper est un cinq-mâts, le plus grand voilier de ce type au monde, et naviguer toutes voiles déployées a été une expérience émouvante, hors du temps. Chaque détail du bateau évoque l’élégance de la navigation classique, avec ses ponts en bois, son mobilier raffiné et une atmosphère intime, bien loin des grands paquebots surchargés. Le service à bord est extrêmement personnalisé : le personnel est attentionné, courtois et toujours disponible, capable de faire sentir à chaque passager qu’il est vraiment spécial. Que ce soit pour savourer un repas gastronomique, se détendre sur le pont ou participer aux activités proposées, tout est organisé avec un grand soin du détail.

Asia a vela

I liked

La vela, con tutto ciò che significa

I didn't like

Gli spazi sono stretti, ma è normale

Comment

Esperienza unica, fra isole meravigliose, culture, natura incontaminata. Il tutto insieme ad un'altra unica esperienza, la prima per noi, quella della vela. Vale la pena rinunciare a qualche comodità per immergersi in questa favola.

Tradizione e modernità

I liked

L'esperienza del navigare a vela, sempre più rara

I didn't like

Occorre predisposizione ad ambienti piccoli ma confortevoli

Comment

Il veliero navigante più grande al mondo offre la possibilità di una crociera d'altri tempi, circondati dai comfort e dal servizio delle navi moderne. Un'esperienza da non perdere per il vero "Crocierista"
