11 Night Italy, Sicily & Croatia
Royal Clipper
Natural beauty and 4,000 years of history converge in Italy, Sicily & the islands of the Mediterranean …
Justly famed for its sparkling capitals, ancient civilizations and cultured ambience, Royal Clipper’s Mediterranean is a 
world of mythical and tranquil seas, soaring mountains, medieval villages and sun-warmed beaches. Royal Clipper offers one seven night itinerary from Rome’s port of Civitavecchia, which includes sun-drenched Sicily, stops throughout the volcanic Aeolian Islands and routes along Italy’s romantic Amalfi Coast. Put yourself in a magical place of ancient Roman ruins, idyllic ports and myth-making islands lost in time; where tall cypresses, olive groves and hilltop villages remind you of Italian hill towns; where dancing waters are dotted with white sails and thousands of islands spill like green jewels over the sea; and more precious treasures abound in medieval walled cities that have miraculously survived through centuries of attack and siege.
It is a country that is more sea than land; birthplace of generations of sailors and adventurers, including Marco Polo. Here fishermen still bring in the catch every day - and seafood never sees a freezer before being served at your table! This is the enchanted Istrian and Dalmatian Coast of Croatia, and it is richly deserving of your discovery. But come quickly. Because others will find it very soon! Join us as we discover an unsurpassed enclave of the Adriatic Sea combining the best of the ancient and new, the alluring archipelagos and coastline of Croatia.
Inspired by the legendary Tall Ship, Preussen, 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, boasting state-of-the-art navigation systems and all the comfort of today. For connoisseurs of sail cruising, the 134 metre 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 yacht. Royal Clipper carries just 227 guests in luxurious style. A full 1760 square meters 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. Or climb the mast (with safety harness provided) to one of the passenger look out ‘crow’s-nests’, 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, featuring deliciously prepared cuisine and a no-tie dress code. A convenient marina platform lowers from the stern for water sports and diving.
