Royal Clipper Review
Review of Royal Clipper
After in 1991 the Swedish yachtsman Mikhail Krafft established Star Clippers, first was the Star Flyer, and second - Star Clipper, both authentic tall-sailing ships. Star Clippers went on with building the largest presently sailing tall ship - the 5-mast Royal Clipper in 2000.
History - construction and ownership
The 227-passenger Royal Clipper is a tall sailing ship owned by Star Clippers Ltd (Sweden). The 5-masted, steel-hulled, fully-rigged vessel was designed by Zygmunt Choreń and built using existing steel hull modified by Gdansk Shipyard. The Royal sailing ship was designed for the polish miners as sailing holiday cruiser. Her first name is Gwarek (meaning The Miner in ancient polish).
In July 2000 Merwede shipyard completed ship's interior. The renovations included Rainer Maria Latzke's frescography murals, completing the Mediterranean interior of the vessel. Royal ship's design is based on Preussen - the famous 5-mast German Flying P-Liner windjammer built in 1902.
Royal Clipper ship claims she is the biggest "true sailing ship", of course, built since Preussen. She is also in Guinness World Records as largest in service square-rigged ship featuring 5202 m2 of sail.
Cruise itinerary program
During the summer, Royal Clipper sails in the Mediterranean, departing from Rome and Venice. During winter months, she offers Caribbean voyages through the southern part of the Lesser Antilles area. She can visit the smallest ports which larger ships cannot reach, because of her size. Between seasons, Transatlantic crossings are offered.
Cabins

Carrying just 227 passengers, the Royal ship provides the luxurious style and full 19,000 sq.feet of open deck. The three swimming pools give a wonderfully spacious outdoor environment.

Royal Clipper Wiki
The Royal Clipper cruise ship is a 5-masted steel-hulled and fully-rigged tall ship (sailing ship). It joined the fleet of Star Clippers in 2000. The vessel was modeled after the famous German windjammer Preussen (built 1902). This sail cruise ship was originally designed as a holiday cruiser for the coal miners from Gdansk Poland, under the name Gwarek (meaning "The Miner" in ancient Polish).
Royal Clipper is listed as "the largest square-rigged ship in service" in the Guinness World Records book, with 5202 m2 (56000 ft2) of sails.
On select Yoga-themed fitness cruises, Star Clippers offers free daily meditation and yoga classes. The company also invites celebrity chefs to give themed cooking demonstrations. Royal Clipper's most thrilling onboard experience (performance) is climbing the rigging. The mast climbing is always supervised and takes place several times during a voyage (weather permitting).
