Lisbon to Bridgetown via Westbound Atlantic Ocean Crossing

Step aboard the Royal Clipper, a five-masted marvel that captures the romance of golden-age sailing while delivering modern comfort. As you cast off from Lisbon in October, you'll experience the pure magic of wind-filled canvas and the gentle rhythm of the Atlantic beneath your feet. This is no ordinary cruise—it's a westbound Atlantic Ocean crossing where every nautical mile feels like an adventure.

Explore the sun-drenched Algarve coast from the charming port of Portimao, where golden cliffs meet pristine beaches and local fishing villages reveal centuries of Portuguese character. Wander medieval streets, taste fresh seafood at waterfront restaurants, and soak in the warmth of southern Europe before venturing into the open sea.

Madeira emerges from the Atlantic like an emerald jewel, offering lush terraced vineyards, dramatic volcanic peaks, and the vibrant energy of Funchal. Browse the historic market, sample celebrated Madeira wine, or hike through misty cloud forests. This island represents the perfect transition between Europe and the Caribbean adventure ahead.

Aboard the Royal Clipper, you'll find yourself embraced by timeless elegance. Teak decks, intimate lounges, and gourmet dining create an atmosphere of refined luxury, while the gentle creak of rigging and the snap of sails connect you to sailing's storied past. Unlike sprawling mega-ships, this intimate vessel fosters genuine connection among guests and crew, transforming your crossing into a shared voyage of discovery.

Reserve your cabin aboard the Royal Clipper and set sail for the Caribbean. This once-in-a-lifetime westbound crossing awaits.

Itinerary

Portugal's vibrant capital, perched on hills overlooking the Tagus estuary, known for its historic Alfama district and world-class cuisine.
Portimao is the largest city in the western Algarve, and was traditionally a centre for sardine fishing and processing. It makes a great base from which to explore the entire western Algarve. Two of the more popular trips are Lagos and Silves. Lagos was the centre for Portugal's 14th century age of exploration and Silves served as the Algarve region's ancient capital and so the tourist attractions here reflect its rich and extensive history.

Royal Clipper: Tall ship

Since 2001, the Royal Clipper has been the largest sailing yacht in the world officially registered in the Guinness Book of Records, a distinction that makes her a living legend of yachting. Built in 2000, this majestic five-masted vessel is a direct tribute to her illustrious predecessor, the Preußen, the legendary German sailing ship of the early 20th century. At 134 metres long, 16 metres wide and with a draught of 5.98 metres, the Royal Clipper offers optimal sailing properties that combine the thrill of authentic sailing with the comfort and amenities of a modern luxury yacht. Her five masts reach 54 metres in height and support an impressive 5,000 square metres of sail spread over 42 sails, capable of propelling this magnificent vessel at speeds of between 7 and 18 knots. The Royal Clipper's imposing exterior is consistently reflected in her interiors, which are unusually spacious and generous for a sailing yacht. The heart of the ship is a spectacular three-storey atrium that allows sunlight to flood into the elegant restaurant at its base. Here, passengers enjoy exquisite culinary creations prepared by international chefs in a relaxed atmosphere, with no fixed table assignments or formal dress code. The restaurant seats all passengers simultaneously, so there is only a single dining shift, fostering a relaxed, social atmosphere. At the stern of the ship, a folding platform provides convenient direct access to the sea for water sports. One of the Royal Clipper's most unique and emblematic spaces is the Captain Nemo Lounge, an underwater lounge with spa and fitness centre that offers a unique and unforgettable view of the underwater world surrounding the ship through its submerged portholes. With a maximum capacity of 227 passengers and a crew of 106 dedicated crew members, the Royal Clipper offers an exceptionally high crew-to-passenger ratio, guaranteeing personalised, first-class service. All cabins have en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, flat screen TV with DVD player, hairdryer, safe, radio, telephone and under-bed storage space. The entire ship is a non-smoking area in its cabins. Registered in Malta and classified by DNV with the highest rating "1A1+", the Royal Clipper represents the perfect combination of the noblest nautical tradition and contemporary luxury, offering a truly unforgettable sailing experience, a balm for stressed souls seeking to reconnect with the sea and adventure.
