Royal Clipper in Corfu: 'The Largest Full-Rigged Sailing Ship In The World'



Swedish-built five-mast cruise ship docked at Corfu, after sailing from Venice. Royal Clipper is the flagship of Star Clippers.

"Inspired by the legendary Tall Ship, Preussen, the new Royal Clipper has the proud distinction of being the largest and only five-masted 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".
