Our Mediterranean & North Africa
Clipper Cruise Adventure

W
ith each one of our ocean cruises, we

wanted different experiences. Then—when
we saw pictures of the Royal Clipper—we knew
this was the experience we had to have!

We’ll be traveling with our friends, Dan and Patti Moffett, as we
begin our adventure starts with a week in Rome before
embarking on the 12-night cruise on the Royal Clipper from
Rome’s port at Civitavecchia to Lisbon.

While in Rome, we’ll be staying in Trastevere, enjoying the
narrow streets, and sights and sounds of the most picturesque
part of Rome. And, of course, the restaurants! We even
arranged our flight so we would arrive in time for dinner.

Along with the experience of a lifetime sailing on the world’s
largest sailing passenger ship, our cruise sails through the
Strait of Gibraltar and along the North Africa coast to Safi,
Casablanca, and Tangier.

From Safi, we spend a day in Marrakech. Then, on to
Casablanca. In Tangier, the Kasbah waits us.

Too bad we can’t take the Marrakech Express like in the song,
but that’s a train from Tangier—maybe next time. I’m sure the
lyrics will be in our heads on the three-hour bus ride through
the Moroccan desert.

This cruise is so different from every other passenger cruise on
the planet. It’s all about being on the beautiful sailing ship, not
the overnight hops from port to port. We’ll be docking at many
ports later in the morning to enjoy a nice start to the day at sea.
