Departing from Rome’s port of Civitavecchia, on board this stunning 439 foot Royal Clipper with her compliment of 42 sails and state of the art navigation systems, you have every luxury one could wish for. Our itinerary routes us along Italy’s ever romantic Amalfi Coast, including sun drenched Sicily, stopping throughout the volcano dotted Aeolian Islands.

Dining aboard the Royal Clipper will offer you a culinary adventure with an international menu of foods from the far corners of the earth. Enjoy a continental breakfast with croissants, toasted English muffins, or sweet Danish pastries or savour a full breakfast cooked to order in the dining room. At lunch, a marvellous buffet of seafood, salads and grilled favourites awaits your pleasure.When evening comes, the Royal Clipper’s elegantly appointed dining room featuring a splendid collection of paintings of sailing ships, becomes the setting for the chef’s finest culinary presentations, designed to please the eye and the palate. All complemented by equally fine wines. You’ll find the service to be friendly and gracious, befitting a sophisticated restaurant.

The Royal Clipper is not a cruise ship in the ordinary sense, there are no rigid schedules. You are free to do as you wish with your days – and evenings. Your entertainment will be provided by local performers on board to give guests an authentic taste of the local music and arts.You’ll enjoy the warmth and friendliness of fellow shipmates while a live band plays tropical tunes from a real paradise. The Captain and crew are superb improvisers of the kind of light-hearted fun you’ll only find on the Royal Clipper. The Captain’s daily briefing on deck is wonderfully informative, and a chance to hear some great story-telling as well. And there are other events and activities during the day and night that have evolved from Royal Clipper’s sailing heritage. In fact, it’s the easy going informality on board that makes a cruise like this so special.
