Cruise the Caribbean in the lap of luxury

-

IMAGINE Cruising’s AllInclusi­ve Barbados Retreat & Intimate Royal Clipper Voyage includes a lavish seven-night sailing onboard the Royal Clipper, and it’s going to make for a spectacula­r stay.

The tallest ship of the Star Clippers fleet, boasting a mast height of 197ft, this ship has every luxury you could think of.

For a start there’s a threedeck atrium that allows the ship to be filled with sunlight, while the threetiere­d dining room means you won’t need to reserve a place for dinner. Although every inch of the ship is glamorous, it still has a relaxed atmosphere – for example, the dining room has an easy-going dress code that aims to make everyone feel included.

Other highlights include an observatio­n lounge where you can soak in views of everything from the ocean to destinatio­ns, three inviting swimming pools, hidden balconies on either side of the bow, and a library which can offer a quiet spot for those in need of a bit of solitude.

Want to treat yourself ? There’s a luxurious spa and health club, or you can always retire to your swanky cabin for a siesta.

And make sure to check out the unique Captain Nemo Lounge with its underwater glass portholes so you can view the secrets of the deep while sipping on a cocktail.

For the more daring of passengers, you can even climb the mast (a safety harness is provided) so you can get a bird’s-eye view of the ocean.

There’ll be little to compare to the feeling of flying across the blue

Caribbean waters as she unfurls her 42 sails.

The 439ft-long ship can hold up to 227 passengers and 106 crew, which makes for an intimate setting as you go exploring.

ONCE IN A LIFETIME

While she’s steeped in history, the interiors boast sleek and modern decor, and state-of-the-art navigation systems.

If you’re after a once-in-alifetime trip, she delivers a sea-going experience like no other with a mixture of grandeur, adventure and classic sailing.

Meanwhile, the facilities, cabins and convenienc­es are equal to those associated with the finest modern yachts.

The Royal Clipper will be sailing on a sun-soaked Caribbean itinerary spanning The Grenadines, Martinique and St Lucia, on a round-trip from Barbados.

Imagine Cruising is offering a full-board stay on the seven-night sailing as part of its All-Inclusive Barbados Retreat & Intimate Royal Clipper Voyage, with departures available in both 2022 and 2023.

Barbados stay at a four-star hotel.
