Marvelous Sailing from Lisbon to Málaga

MAY

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Beautiful ship, sails up, first class

CONS

RECOMMENDED

Yes

We enjoyed a magical cruise and beautiful ports. No entertainment like big cruise ships-we did not need it. We met many new friends, and the days and nights were full enough. Climbed the rigging, hoisted a sail, toasted our victories.

Caribbean Windward Islands

FEBRUARY

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Sailing majority of travel time

CONS

no little refrigerator in cabin, limited time in ports.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

<div>The Royal Clipper is a &quot;Sailing Passenger Vessel&quot;, currently worldwide there are about 50 such ships. The Royal Clipper is the largest of them. The &quot;Windward Island&quot; cruise has the best chance of sailing the majority of time. We were under sail about 80% of the time. You will feel the ocean movements much more than on a large cruise ship.&nbsp;</div>
