You saw it right.  Bare Necessities will be setting sail on August 1, 2020 round-trip from Venice to explore the mysterious back-side of “the boot”, which is a highly regarded area to explore by European travelers.  We’ll visit new ports in Italy, the tiny republic of San Marino, passenger favorites Kotor, Dubrovnik and Split, as well as new stops in nude-friendly Croatia.

We will once again have a Michelin-star chef at the helm, wine and food pairing with a professional sommelier and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages included*.

Inspired by the tall ship Preussen, the Royal Clipper has the proud distinction of being the largest and only five-masted full-rigged sailing ship built since her predecessor was launched at the beginning of the last century. With her complement of 42 sails, Royal Clipper is a splendid sight to behold.

You might think she was an apparition from the grand age of sail, but the Royal Clipper is as new as tomorrow, boasting state-of-the-art navigation systems and every comfort and luxury one could wish for. For connoisseurs of sail cruising, the 439 foot Royal Clipper offers the ultimate sea-going experience, balancing the grandeur, adventure and tradition of sailing with the superb service, amenities and accommodations of the finest modern yacht. Royal Clipper carries just 227 guests in luxurious style. A full 19,000 square feet of open deck and three swimming pools create a wonderfully spacious and expansive outdoor environment.
