Sailing aboard the magnificent Royal Clipper on a short round-trip voyage from Rome offers travelers the rare opportunity to experience the romance of true sailing while exploring two stunning Mediterranean ports. Known as the largest fully rigged sailing ship in the world, the Royal Clipper combines the elegance of a classic tall ship with modern comforts. With its towering masts and billowing sails, guests can relax on expansive teak decks, watch the crew raise the sails, and enjoy the feeling of traveling the Mediterranean much as sailors once did centuries ago.
During this three-night escape, the ship calls at the dramatic harbor town of Bonifacio, perched high atop white limestone cliffs overlooking the sea. Its narrow medieval streets and breathtaking views make it one of the most picturesque ports in the Mediterranean. The journey also includes a stop in Portoferraio, the charming capital of Elba Island, known for its colorful harbor, historic fortifications, and connection to Napoleon Bonaparte. Between ports, guests can enjoy the relaxed rhythm of life at sea—sunbathing on deck, taking part in sailing traditions, or simply enjoying the beauty of the Mediterranean as the Royal Clipper glides gracefully through its sparkling waters.
