If we were allowed to dream, we would take our place on the wings of a giant albatross, gliding just above the ocean, simultaneously feeling the caress of the water in the foam, the breath of the wind in the feathers, and the sparkling light on the waves. Each morning, a new land, a new island, new beach adventures would unfold before us, and each evening would reveal a golden hour, uniquely flamboyant in an endless collection of delightful moments. Living each day like this would allow us to see time move lightly above the waves, freed from all obligations.
This is how our journey unfolds, on the world’s largest sailing cruise ship, the
Club Med 2, in a sensory experience unparalleled at sea. An icon in the world of sailing, this flat-bottomed boat gracefully showcases its easily recognizable silhouette, from the beaches of the Mediterranean to the islands of the tropics. Its shallow draft for a ship of its size indeed allows us to approach the coasts closely, and that is why it is observed in the most beautiful bays in the world, never leaving anyone indifferent. Departing from the most frequented sea routes due to its reduced need for depth, it took us to the Dominican Republic, enabling the discovery of wild coves, heavenly beaches, and picturesque fishing villages, all in tranquility and respect for the underwater world.
Like the legendary bird, the Club Med 2 is a great traveler. It extends its immense wings to cover the longest distances on the globe. The sea air silently inflates its five masts to unleash its full navigational capacity. The wind, an eternal renewable energy, thus spares fuel usage, akin to the albatross whose gliding flight limits muscular effort and energy expenditure.
Onboard, the atmosphere is designed to enhance this feeling of comfortable delight, with the nautical decor of cabins and restaurants further emphasizing the impression of a journey through time. Modernized fittings adorn spacious areas where we share our common experiences. Luxury, as defined by Club Med, is indeed embodied in a highly personalized welcome, with remarkable kindness. Boarding is so warm that it seems as if the suitcases settle here as part of a complete care package for the family. The holidays here have only one challenge, the choice: water sports or lazing by the pools, morning coffee in the cabin or on the aft deck, aperitif at sunset, or animated evening. Whatever our preference for the day, the sailboat displays an enchanting flag.
