Built in 2000 and inspired by the legendary Preussen, Royal Clipper was officially recognised by Guinness World Records in 2001 as the world's largest square-rigged sailing ship in service. At 439 feet (134 metres) long, with five towering masts and 42 magnificent sails, she combines the grandeur of traditional tall ship sailing with the comfort and elegance of a luxury cruise. Accommodating just 227 guests and 106 crew, Royal Clipper offers an extraordinary sailing experience, capable of reaching speeds of up to 18 knots under sail.
