Club Med 2 Review

Review of club med 2.

The 1992-built yacht Club Med 2 is a modern sailing cruise ship owned by Club Med Cruises. The vessel is marketed as "cruise ship" (mega-yacht) and is powered by 7x computer-controlled sails combined with traditional diesel-electric propulsion (4x diesel generators power 2x electric motors).

History - construction and ownership

The 400-passenger ship Club Med 2 is owned and operated by Club Med SA (fka Club Mediterranee) - a French corporation (part of Fosun Group) specializing in premium all-inclusive vacation packages to its privately-owned resorts worldwide. Club Med 2's sistership (Club Med 1) was bought by Windstar Cruises and renamed Wind Surf (1998).

The shipowner Fosun Group (officially Fosun International Ltd) is a 1992-founded, Shanghai -headquartered Chinese holding company incorporated in Hong Kong in December 2004. Fosun Group has offices in 16 countries and is one of China's largest privately-owned companies, with (2019 data) total assets USD 102,6 billion, revenue USD 20,7B, net income USD 2,1B. The corporation is Hong Kong Stock Exchange-listed (as SEHK 656) since July 2007. Fosun's businesses are mainly investing and managing in various companies (including joint ventures), as well as in private equity funds. Fosun fully- or partially owns companies in the industries of banking, insurance, asset management, entertainment (Cirque du Soleil), fashion (brands Ahava, Caruso, Folli Follie, Lanvin, Silver Cross, St John, Tom Tailor, Wolford), food and beverages, private hospitals, real estate, retail, tourism, among others.

The 5-masted Club Med 2 is a computer-controlled schooner and one of the world's biggest sailing ships. The vessel was completely drydock reconstructed in 1996, its interior was totally redesigned in 2008, and was last refurbished in 2022 (read the refurbishment's review in the Wiki section ).

The vessel (IMO number 9007491) is France- flagged (MMSI 227194000) and registered in Mata-Utu/ Wallis and Futuna .

In 2008, the boat's interior was entirely revamped by Sophie Jacquemin (Geneva Switzerland-based interior designer).

The depth/draft of just 5 m / 16 ft allows the ship to sail closer to shores while on voyages featuring coastal navigation.

Onboard services are provided by 214 staff/crew, mostly from Mauritius.

Decks and Cabins

MS Club Med 2 staterooms (186 total/372 berths) include 1x Armateur Suite (40 m2 / 430 ft2), 10x Owner's Suites (sized 390 ft2 / 36 m2), 5x Deluxe Cabins (24 m2 / 260 ft2), 170x Club Superior Cabins (18 m2 / 195 ft2).

Club Superior Cabins are spread over Deck B-Borneo (55x/lower deck), Deck C-Caraibes (67x/middle deck) and Deck D-Desirade (48x/higher deck).

All passenger cabins are outside (with sea views) and with standard double occupancy, but some of the Superior staterooms are triples, providing accommodation for a third occupant.

The boat has 6 passenger-accessible decks (out of 8 total), of which 4 are with cabins.

Two elevators (forward and aft lifts) interconnect all passenger decks.

The 8 decks have a total surface area of ~2000 m2 / 21530 ft2.

Shipboard facilities and amenities

Club Med 2 offers all-inclusive cruises, with room service (for breakfast) and two gourmet restaurants (both with waiter service in the evenings) included in the fares. Tables are set each evening. Cookery classes are offered three times per week.

The Mediterranee Restaurant (Main Dining Room on Deck G/right by the large terrace) mixes various flavors with exotic cuisines. The intimate restaurant is complimentary during the day and a-la-carte-priced in the evenings, but dinners can be reserved in advance at the Reception Desk. Le Mediterranee serves buffet-style breakfast, lunch and dinner, with alfresco dining (on the adjacent Veranda or under the balcony) or in the dining room. Tables are 2-4-6-8-seat.

The Magellan Restaurant (deck E) is with table-side waiter service and costs extra. Its chef and his team prepare a mix of rare and traditional French dishes. Sommeliers/wine stewards assist passengers to choose from the premium wines menu. Tables can accommodate 2-4-8-12 people.

Room service (in-cabin dining) is 24-hour but at extra cost, excluding Suite guests for whom the service is complimentary.

Club Med 2 has four bars - Le Pacifique/The Pacific (piano bar lounge and nightclub on Deck F/open only in the evenings, hosts the Welcome Aboard Cocktail Party, has a humidor, sells premium cigars), Le Venise (Deck E/next to the swimming pool, with stern views), Moby Dick (with live music programming/piano performances in the evenings), and The Albatros (by the swimming pool on Deck G/sundeck). All onboard bars serve snacks complimentary.

The superyacht can navigate and anchor in destinations inaccessible to larger vessels. This unique ship features music and ballroom dancing while cruising at night and making a stop each morning. Snorkeling is included in the Club Med cruise packages, as well as wakeboarding and water skiing.

Passengers can read in the Library/Nautique Hall, visit the Boutique Shop, exercise in the modern Gym, enjoy premium wellness experiences (5x Treatment Rooms for massages, 2x Sauna Rooms, Beauty Salon) or dance the night away in the Nightclub. Wellness Center's massages are for an extra fee.

All outdoor spaces are with premium teak decking.

Complimentary onboard activities also include aqua classes, fitness classes, nightly shows and dancing, watersports (boating, waterskiing, kayaking, windsurfing, wakeboarding, snorkeling). The Marina Platform (from the open-sea activities are launched) is sized 85 m2 / 915 ft2.

Refurbishment 2022 review

The multimillion drydock 2022 refit and refurbishment was completed in December 2022. The project included redesigning and complete renovation of all venues (restaurants, bars, lounges, wellness facilities) and staterooms with new furniture and amenities.

The Gym was fitted with new cardio equipment, soft lighting, soundproof flooring. Club Med Spa by Sothys was upgraded with new treatments and exercise programming (including outdoor yoga classes on the sundeck).

Le Magellan Restaurant's enhancements include live cooking demonstrations and new menus developed by Ferrandi Paris (French culinary arts school also specializing in hospitality management). The seasonally changed dishes are themed on the local cuisine of the cruise itinerary's regions and ports/destinations.

The boat's 5 sails were remodeled.

Club Med 2's previous major drydock refit was conducted in 2008.

Club Med 2 Is Back With New Elevated Amenities And Exciting Destinations

The world’s largest sailing yacht has undergone a $10 million renovation with luxury and experiences befitting the spirit of the french riviera..

What's better than sitting outside a French café and enjoying the breeze with a brie-topped baguette while sipping on a glass of fine champagne? Doing it all while sitting on the world's largest sailing ship powered by the wind and your own sense of wanderlust.

Just board Clu b Med 's newly refurbished Club Med 2 sailing yacht and experience it for yourself. Following a recent $10 million upgrade, guests can now enjoy an intimate small ship sailing experience with premium service, stopping at some of the world's most luxurious ports. The yacht's small size—at just 187 meters—and its shallow draft allow it to access ports and historic city centers that large ships are unable to visit, like Virgin Gorda and Venice. 

About the Club Med 2

Sailing since 1992, Club Med 2's latest update starts with a refinishing of its 2,700-square meters of Burmese teak decking. The five masts support the impressive 185-square meters of sails that can reduce the ship's power usage by up to 30 percent when the wind cooperates. Sails are computerized and, on the last night, they're raised to the grandiose sounds of Vangelis' "1492: Conquest of Paradise," as guests cheer along. 

The ship features just 184 passenger cabins, including 10 suites and one owner's suite (240 square meters of pure luxury), that add to the intimacy of guests' experience onboard. There are no indoor cabins so all passengers can wake up to a view of the ocean. The level of service is at a premium on the ship with roughly 215 crew members or Gentile Organisers (GOs), an impressive crew-to-guest ratio.

You won't find lines at buffets, guests congregating to get aboard a tender for an excursion— the boats are called Beachers because of their capability to land on the beach—or the hustle to secure a poolside lounger on the Club Med 2. The ship's ambience, open spaces, and plentiful amenities encourage guests to sit back and relax.  

On Board the Club Med 2

The service and décor on the Club Med 2 are impeccable. As a France-based brand, the majority of guests are French, but the company is aiming to entice more Americans to experience this unique sailing opportunity.  

The cabins are surprisingly spacious for such a small ship and have more storage than I find on most large vessels. There are two closets with plenty of drawers in the bureau and in the bathroom for storing clothing and personal items. I especially appreciated the Lavazza Nespresso for my morning jolt of caffeine. In-room dining is also available with a select, but delightful, menu.

The food on board the Club Med 2 is the best I've yet to experience on any ship. Through an exclusive partnership, chefs are trained at Paris's exclusive Ferrandi culinary school, which also created new menus for one of the yacht's two restaurants, Monte Carlo. One hundred percent of cuisine served is made on the ship down to the stocks and bread. Recipes were created to take advantage of fresh fish and produce available in local ports so guests on Caribbean cruises will experience French-tropical fusion while those in the Mediterranean enjoy European-inspired classics. But best of all, there's always a full supply of French breads, cheeses, and wines available.

The reservations-only Monte Carlo restaurant has enjoyed a complete makeover with nautical antiquities and open spaces that let guests take advantage of panoramic ocean views. The Le Saint Barth and Le Cannes bars are perfect gathering spaces for an afternoon cocktail or the ship's famous high tea. Guests happily partake in the ship's theme nights with festive attire, decor, and entertainment. Every night is a party, albeit civilized, on this ship.

Finally, the Sothys spa is small yet intimate and offers a range of treatments and products for a little added self-indulgence.

Sailings and Destinations

Club Med 2 sails in the Caribbean in the winter and the Mediterranean in the summer months. The sailings for the Caribbean often depart from the Dominican Republic's La Romana port with destinations that include the British Virgin Islands, Colombia, and Panama with stops at many popular beach ports. European destinations include the Canary Islands, Iberian coast, Italy, Turkey, and many other great cities. 

Club Med is known for its all-inclusive experiences but whether you enjoy mega-ship sailing or small, intimate luxury resorts, the Club Med 2 offers a unique opportunity to sail aboard one of the world's largest and most exclusive yachts.

Club Med's Yacht Will Set Sail After a Multimillion-dollar Renovation This December — With a 14-day Transatlantic Trip

And yes, the cruises are, of course, all-inclusive.

Courtesy of Club Med

If you thought Club Med was limited to all-inclusive resorts on land, you'd be mistaken. The famed French travel brand also owns a five-masted sailing yacht that offers an all-inclusive experience on the high seas.

Part of the luxurious Club Med Exclusive Collection, the Club Med 2 is set to relaunch in December 2022 after a multimillion-dollar renovation — the ship's first since 2008. The schooner's interiors are getting quite a chromatic makeover that reflects the bright colors found across the Mediterranean Sea, the namesake of the ship and its parent company. And on the outside, the teak decks and the sails will be brand new. The Club Med 2 set sail again last summer, after a COVID-19-forced hiatus, but is offline this fall while the extensive renovation is completed.

While the Club Med 2 will sail on the Mediterranean in the summer, she'll head for the Caribbean in the winter. In both destinations, the ship's small size of just 597 feet in length allows her to make port in more exclusive destinations that are inaccessible to larger ships, such as Tobago Cays in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

But her small size doesn't mean she lacks in amenities. The Club Med 2 has a slew of bars and restaurants, including a reimagined Le Monte Carlo, which now has space for live culinary demonstrations, as well as a brand-new Club Med Spa by French beauty brand Sothys. The wellness center will not only offer traditional spa treatments, but also wellness programs like yoga classes on the sun deck. There's also a kids' club, two pools, and water sports equipment for windsurfing, paddleboarding, and sailing on a mini sailboat called the Hobie Eclipse. 

The ship is, however, still quite intimate, with just 184 cabins, including the spacious Armateur Suite with a separate living area. 

In following the Club Med ethos, sailings on the Club Med 2 are indeed all-inclusive, covering all-day dining, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, unlimited land and water sports (including guided snorkeling), Wi-Fi, gratuity, and entertainment.

Her first sailing in December will be a 14-night transatlantic trip from Lisbon to Martinique, after which she'll cruise the Caribbean through the end of March before returning to the Mediterranean. You can book a sailing aboard the newly refreshed Club Med 2 here .

Club Med 2 Cruises

Mediteranean & Caribbean luxury yacht cruises

Introducing our Exclusive Luxury Cruise Collection: the epitome of elegance

Balancing tradition and modernity, club med 2 is reinventing the travel experience..

Club Med 2 redefines luxury with tradition and modernity. The yacht features five masts, mahogany rails, 2,700 sqm teak deck, and 184 cabins for an exquisite experience, reminiscent of peaceful cruises of the past.

While standard cruises follow predetermined itineraries, luxury cruise yachts offer a truly customised experience, allowing you to forge unforgettable memories in pristine paradises.

There are four guiding principles on board:

wellness, a festive spirit, a bond with the ocean and the delight of discovery .

The modest size and shallow draft of the luxury yacht enables it to drop anchor in waters uncharted by the giant cruise liners. It's an invitation to sail through the waves and the sea breeze of the Mediterranean and Caribbean seas, and an opportunity to discover them anew through our luxury yacht cruises.

All-Inclusive by Club Med

§ Gourmet restaurants​ § Sports & Activities § Bar & Snacks​ § Entertainment & Shows​

The sun sinks swiftly into the Caribbean Ocean, and within minutes my boat mates and I are absorbed in a velvety cloak. Sea or sky, who can tell when you can’t spot the horizon?

Suddenly, our motorboat changes course, and looming large in front of us are towering beams arising vertically from a great ship. Ablaze with twinkling lights, the beams cast diamonds upon the inky water.

Pretty cool architecture for a cruise ship, I think to myself. But these aren’t design features and this is no cruise ship. We’ve been mesmerized by the illuminated sailing masts of Club Med 2, the world’s largest sailing yacht.

Cutting a distinctive silhouette on the horizon, Club Med 2 also sails against the trend of mega cruise ships. With capacity for just 368 passengers compared to thousands on ocean liners, its expeditions through the Caribbean (and Europe come April) feel almost intimate.

To celebrate the 613-foot yacht’s 30th anniversary, Club Med 2 has reinvented itself by pouring $10 million into renovating its lobby, restaurant and bars, in addition to new itineraries and activities.

After being welcomed on-board and plied with champagne and hors d’oeuvres during check in, it’s off to unpack in our guest rooms, er, cabins.

Except it doesn’t feel like a cabin. At 194 square feet, cabins feel much roomier than your average 160-square-foot cruise ship cabin. Kitted out with a king bed, desk area, Wi-Fi ports and North American power outlets, I have more than enough room and plenty of storage space.

Thanks to the yacht’s gentle swaying and perhaps that complimentary champagne, I drift off to a delicious sleep awakening to Puerto Rico drifting past my porthole windows. When you’re not staring out at the cerulean sea, you can hit the spa, plunge into two freshwater pools or Zen out with meditation and yoga classes on the sundeck.

The yacht is an all-inclusive experience, and as Club Med is a French brand, reverence is paid to gastronomy. Expect to feast on top-notch cheese and pastries, foie gras and Champagne, not Prosecco. Healthy options go beyond salads with custom poke bowls, grilled meat and plenty of vegetables. Neither bacon nor sausage makes an appearance at the breakfast buffet.

One of the best features is one you can’t see: Club Med 2’s shallow draft. This means it can go where big ships can’t, docking directly in historic city centres such as Venice or in other hand-picked spots.

Our shore excursion to Catalina Island, a private enclave in the Dominican Republic, is a delight. There’s no mad rush to snag a beach chair or umbrella — there’s enough for everybody. In addition to the usual suspects of paddleboarding, kayaking and snorkelling, guests can try their hand at wing foils, windsurfing and sailing dinghies.

I splash around in a water aerobics class as identical twin DJs spin tunes. My fellow guests sip rum cocktails (weirdly no vodka or piña colada’s on offer), before tucking into grilled prawns the size of your forearm.

Part of the appeal of cruising is discovering a new destination every day. And while all good things come to an end, your vacation doesn’t have to. Many devotees of the brand choose to conclude their cruise with a stay at one of Club Med’s land resorts.

After disembarking in the Dominican Republic, it’s off to Michès Playa Esmeralda, one of Club Med’s Exclusive Collection resorts. Encircled by palm groves and a tropical forest, its natural setting is unlike any beach resort I’ve come across. Incredibly lush and green, the eco-certified property is comprised of five boutique villages, two for adults-only and one with private bedrooms for families.

I’m staying in the Emerald Jungle village and see nothing but tangled vegetation from my floor to ceiling patio doors. Watching the palms gently sway as birdsong echoes through the forest is incredibly peaceful. It’s almost as serene as the Club Med Spa by Cinq Mondes, a luxe French beauty brand.

Three outdoor plunge pools of varying temperatures encourage guests to get an endorphin high before undergoing lavish treatments like kobido, a facial massage technique beloved by models.

Of course, the resort sports plenty of other pools — two of which are dedicated to children. But it’s the freshwater Zen Pool that I return to each day. Bordered by reeds and palm trees, I feel as though I’m swimming in a very clean, healthy pond. A tonic for the senses, it’s a welcome respite from all the action.

Because if you’re not careful, you can go, go, go from daybreak until the wee hours. On land and sea, there are dress code themes (optional), lively pre-dinner cocktails, nightly entertainment and live music.

At Michès, children from four months to 18 years are entertained in their own cheery enclave kitted out with an adventure course and splash park. Dare I mention there’s a secret chocolate room?

A dizzying array of activities and excursions lure adult guests from the private 600-metre beach and swim-up pool bar. It could all be exhausting, but there’s no pressure to do anything except get with the spirit.

Aboard Club Med 2, I watched overly enthusiastic guests cheer on the ship’s officers like they were rock stars. I chalked it up to being at sea for too long, but the vibe is just as celebratory ashore. With confetti guns, fireworks and flares, each night offers a new opportunity to whoop it up — with tots in tow if you so choose.

So if you want to sing along to Gloria Gaynor at the nightly disco there’s no need to be shy. Plenty of other guests will be belting out I Will Survive, with you. Whether on sea or sand, you choose your own speed while enjoying French hospitality abroad.

8 Yacht Clubs and Marinas in the Philippines to Moor Your Boat In

FoodfindsAsia.com | 8 Yacht Clubs and Marinas in the Philippines to Moor Your Boat In | Filipinos’ history as a maritime people date back to prehistoric times. In fact, the Philippines’ basic sociopolitical unit today, the barangay, traces its etymological origins to the balangay , the ancient outrigger boats that were used by precolonial Filipino communities to explore and conquer islands this side of the Pacific. As a people belonging to a seafaring culture, it’s no wonder that modern Filipinos are taking a retrospective look at their glorious past as Austronesian mariners and are developing a renewed love for the ocean and marinas as present-day yachtsmen.

Today, Philippine marinas look to accommodate more and more yachts and other pleasure watercrafts as the years go by. In 2017, an ASEAN Briefing op-ed piece named the Philippines as a country with high potential in yacht industry growth. The natural beauty of the Philippine islands and its fantastic bays, combined with a growing interest in leisurely sea travel, can explain the spike in yachting activities throughout the country.

Are you part of the demographic that’s become enamored of the yachting lifestyle? Do you want to know where in the country you can berth your watercraft? Leading sailboat and motorboat authority Europa Yachts is happy to enter the conversation, and recommends the following locations for discovering the Philippines through yachting. Here is a short list of clubs and marinas in the country, organized by island region.  

Manila Yacht Club and Marina, Manila, Metro Manila

Established in 1927, the Manila Yacht Club and Marina is one of the oldest yacht clubs in all of Asia, and is nestled in the scenic Manila Bay. It is also near other well-known landmarks in the city, such as the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), the headquarters of the Philippine Navy, and the US Embassy. Facilities in the marina include a launching ramp and a fueling center, and the club itself is host to a restaurant and gorgeous function rooms. The Manila Yacht Club only welcomes visitors who arrive by boat, and it charges an initial security deposit of USD 750 upon arrival. Club membership is mandatory for medium and long-term mooring of boats.

Subic Bay Yacht Club, Zambales

The Subic Bay Yacht Club, which was founded in 1998, upholds itself as the country’s premier yacht club. It operates in the deepest bay in the country, and can host vessels well beyond 50 meters in length. Already benefitting from the innate beauty of the Zambales mountains surrounding it, the club hosts a number of other attractions, including its luxury accommodations, swimming pools, and its own movie theater, bowling alley, and nightclub. Those who venture outside of the club’s premises can also shop for well-priced imported goods at the Subic Freeport Zone, engage in water sports , or sign up for diving excursions.

Punta Fuego Yacht Club, Batangas

Peaceful Punta Fuego is a mecca for those who love the sport of sailing. As per its official website, the Punta Fuego Yacht Club aims to serve “a dynamic and vibrant community of boat enthusiasts and yacht owners.” This it does by playing host to a diverse population of watercrafts, from large catamarans and mono-hull yachts to small boats. Non-members of the club may use the berths for up to 3 weeks, and can refuel at the marina’s fueling station. The yacht club offers other amenities such as locker rooms, shower rooms, Internet facilities, a chart room, and a restaurant called Barracuda Bar, which serves delicious fares. Outside of the yachting crowd, Punta Fuego Yacht Club also caters to those wishing to celebrate weddings, conferences, and corporate events in their opulent quarters.

Puerto Galera Yacht Club, Oriental Mindoro

Further south, yachtsmen may moor at the Puerto Galera Yacht Club in Oriental Mindoro, an island location that’s home to tourist attractions like the Sabang Wreck dive site, lively beachfront resorts, and the Malasimbo Music Festival. Puerto Galera Yacht Club has been in operation for almost thirty years and lends services such as refueling provisions and yacht repairs from its marina. Boat owners also enjoy optimal convenience if mooring here, as they can also shop for spare parts in the nearby Batangas port.

Busuanga Yacht Club, Puerta del Sol Bay Marina, Palawan

Beautiful Palawan is a bucket-list destination for many, especially those who dream of cruising its crystalline waters.
