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

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.
