The Royal Clipper: Passenger Capacity 227

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 as new as tomorrow. She boasts a state-of-the-art navigation system and all the comforts of today.

For connoisseurs of sail cruising, the 439 foot Royal Clipper offers the ultimate sea-going experience and accommodations of the finest modern yachts. Royal Clipper carries just 227 guests in luxurious style.

The Carnival Freedom: Passenger Capacity 2,974

The largest ship we've sailed on to date, the 952 foot long Conquest-class Carnival Freedom boasts a gross tonnage of 110,000, 1,487 staterooms, and a crew of 1,150. We understand that "bigger is not always better" but in our case we are graduating up to the highest class ship that Carnival has to offer. The Freedom "bares" the name that suits our style so perfectly allowing you to cruise naturally, deciding what not to wear.
