Having been before we still love the ship and that the marine deck lowers into the sea - although would have liked this to have been available more often. The route wasn’t the best for us and in future we would look for more interesting destinations rather than beaches. The room we chose was a bit too cramped (very good size bathroom though) and I don’t think the menus were as varied as on our last trip. The staff are all fantastic although we couldn’t understand the cruise director very well as her English had such a strong Italian accent.

The ship showcases the sails and handling by the crew, and the cruise was an amazing experience. We had a short 4 day taster holiday around Italy The food is excellent. There are a lot of stairs and high thresholds, and no lifts, so people with restricted mobility should think carefully before booking. The cabin was slightly smaller than industry practice, but acceptable. The ship is too small to have a large entertainment program. English people are in a minority, but all information is delivered in English as well as German and French. Overall it was a wonderful holiday experience

Brilliant cruise. Only main drawback was lack of information on what food was dairy free.

Quality of the ship was good, albeit we felt mealtimes were too crowded. Crew were helpful and generally very good. Cabin crew in particular did a very thorough job. If the weather had been better the deck space would most likely also be crowded, ie pressure to get a sunbed. The experience of sailing under sail was excellent.

Everything I hoped for and more - the ship was beautiful to look at, particularly with sails up, the cabins were good and as expected on this type of ship. The staff were exceptionally efficient, caring, informative and friendly. The choice at breakfast was quite delightful, lunches and evening dinner also very good, Quantity and quality excellent, (ate far too much and now on bread and water). If I were to go on a cruise I would choose this boat again but to a different location. Thankyou for advertising this superb cruise.

Ship was beautiful. Crew fantastic. Food excellent. Great wines reasonably priced. Cabin was ok but one side of the bed was against the bulkhead and the bathroom was tiny. Really wonderful experience.

We took a trip on this amazing ship last week along the Amalfi Coast and it far surpassed our expectations.The atmosphere was very relaxed an informal, nothing was too much trouble for any of the crew and they went all out to ensure that you had the best experience possible. The ship itself was fabulous and incredibly spotless. It is a true working ship and the crew work tirelessly to keep it "ship shape" the activities on board were all excellent and you participated as much or as little as you wanted with no pressure to do anything you didn`t want to do. There were 197 passengers on board, however it never felt crowded and there was plenty of room everywhere. The food was superb and the evening meal was a fabulous dining experience.The communal dining was excellent and we met some really lovely and interesting people. We will definitely be cruising with Star Clippers again, in fact we can`t wait!

What an experience the holiday was beyond what we had expected. The ship is just amazing and the crew made sure everyone was taken care of providing the highest of service. From the Captain to the Deck Crew there was the highest of regard for the people taking the cruise just wanting to make sure every minute was something to remember. We would highly recommend this cruise and we are certainly going to spending another holiday on the Royal Clipper and her fabulous crew.
