Sail away with us on the magnificent full-masted luxury sailing
ship Royal Clipper on an unforgettable voyage in September 2023.
You'll set sail from Cannes for Lerici in Italy, before visiting
Corsica, Portoferraio, Bonifacio, and Alghero. On your return to
French waters you'll witness the incredible St Tropez regatta,
where mega-yachts sail alongside traditional ships in a maritime
spectacle.
Joining us in St Tropez will be TV chef James Martin, who will host
an interactive cooking demonstration and join guests for a cocktail
reception on the decks of the majestic Royal Clipper.
With just 227 guests, Royal Clipper blends the intimate atmosphere
of a small ship cruise with the grandeur and nostalgia of a bygone
era of sailing. Royal Clipper's traditional decor doesn't come at
the expense of comfort and luxury though - there's a sleek spa,
water sports platform, and a beautiful dining room and bar to enjoy
as you sail.
