Royal Clipper...


In 1902, Preussen, the only five-masted full rigger was built to serve the nitrate trade from Chile to Germany. She was the largest tall ship ever to be constructed and her extensive sail area made her a strong contender in speed, amongst the fastest clipper ships of her time.


Preussen was great inspiration for the production of the beautiful Royal Clipper, and in 2000, became the first five-mast ship to be built in 98 years. The impressive and luxurious clipper now has the proud


distinction of being the largest and only five-masted full-rigged sailing ship to dominate the seas. With her complement of 42 sails, which have a combined area of 56,000 square feet, Royal Clipper stands out amongst her peers in more ways than one.


Weighing 4,425 tonnes, measuring 439 in feet and carrying a total of 227 guests, this luxurious and monarchical beauty rises from the waves in majestic fashion and leaves all that sail in her awestruck.
