Royal Clipper

Royal Clipper is a steel-hulled five-masted fully rigged tall ship that began as a Polish-built hull originally intended as a floating vacation home for miners before being modified and completed as a cruise vessel. Redesigned by Robert McFarlane for Star Clippers, the ship's interior features frescography murals by Rainer Maria Latzke and reflects a Mediterranean aesthetic. Star Clippers claims Royal Clipper is the largest true sailing ship built since the famous German five-mast Preussen, and she holds the Guinness World Record as the largest square-rigged ship in service, able to visit smaller ports inaccessible to larger motor cruise ships due to her manageable size and powered sail controls.
