Sail away to a Caribbean that is lush and richly tropical – a dramatic Caribbean of high mountain peaks, brilliant reefs, and rainforests teeming with exotic life. These are the Leeward Islands, a sailor’s joy, promising perfect trade winds and tucked away harbors in the fabled ports. Your ship’s sails gleam in the sun as she threads her way between lush volcanic islands in a sea that is so incredibly blue, you'll know why the Caribbean is considered "heaven on earth".
It’s an incredible feeling…you emerge from your stateroom and a breeze caresses your face. On deck, as thousands of square feet of sail unfurl above, you feel the elation of those mariners of long ago. This is life aboard the Royal Clipper, the world’s largest true sailing ship. We call it the mega-yacht sailing experience, for those who seek a pampering cruise vacation combined with the romance of traditional sailing. And of course, we provide all the amenities, activities and atmosphere you’d expect from an Olivia ship. There’s a sunny three-deck atrium, leading from the piano lounge to the grand dining room. And intimate lookout platforms, located on each of the five masts, where you can climb for a bird’s-eye view of the sea. The ship also features a unique underwater lounge and spa, where you can view sea life while the ship is anchored, plus a retractable marina platform for instant access to snorkeling, diving and other watersports. Because this is a Star Clippers ship, you can join the captain on the alwaysopen bridge or you can learn the art of sail handling. Of course you could just unwind and watch the dolphins play, for this is just as much an adventure in highly evolved relaxation.
