Indulge yourself on ouronce-in-a-lifetime cruise

IF you are hankering for a hol-iday that is something quite outof the ordinary, then two of thiswe e k ’s travel offers have to beunbeatable. Contrasting, each

offers a chance to take a break that isanything but run-of-the-mill.

The first should appeal to anyonewho likes spending time at sea.

Our trip will guarantee you a berthaboard the Royal Clipper for a Medi-terranean odyssey.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime cruiseinto the Mediterranean on the RoyalClipper, one of the world’s most lux-urious sailing ships.

Just imagine this: Gentle waves lapagainst a wind-driven hull, the smellof the salty spray is on the fresheningbreeze, and the huge sails towerabove, reflecting the dazzling sunwhich glints on the clear azure wa-ters before you; a pod of youngdolphins dance in the curling bowwave and the backdrop is some of themost beautiful coastline in thewo rl d .

Nothing beats the romance ofbeing at sea on a tall ship – so why notget aboard the magnificent SPVRoyal Clipper, where ultimate re-

laxation and true pampering in sub-lime luxury await you?

This beautiful, traditionally-builtship is living proof that craftsman-ship is far from dead. The RoyalClipper features extensive use of richhardwoods, polished brass andwrought-iron fittings, marble,deep-pile carpets and tasteful fur-nishings which have created a ship ofoutstanding harmony, beauty andl u x u r y.

The Royal Clipper is not a cruiseship and is of a sufficiently-intimatesize to sail close to the shore wherethe views are stunning, and visitsmall, fascinating ports. So not onlydo you have a wonderful seafaringexperience, you are able to learnmuch about the areas you are sailingt h ro u g h .

Ships are nothing without theircrew. And as you would expect onthis prestigious craft, everyone fromthe stewards to the captain are con-summate professionals.

You will love the informality of lifeon board. And you will be amazedthat even within the confines of theship you can always find places to bealone if you wish, to catch up on some
