In the soaring, subtly curved Doric columns of the Parthenon you see the masterful hand of Pericles, Athens' greatest general and builder. And in the ethereally graceful bodies of the Karyatids supporting the porch of the Erectheum, you behold the beauty of the immortals. Ancient Athens, the birthplace of democracy and epicenter of w... ### Day 2: Monemvasia, Greece **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Monemvasia is a town and a municipality in Laconia, Greece.

And no wonder he didn't want to leave - her cave overlooks an enchanted lagoon of gin-clear water surrounded by tall cliffs called the Inland Sea.

See the graves of the Knights guarded by masterpieces by Caravaggio in the imposing St. John's Co-Cathedral. Marvel at frescos in the Palace of the Grand Knights.

The legendary Preussen dominated the seas, only to be gone in a few short years. Neither before nor since had the world seen such a magnificent sailing ship. Until today… Influenced by the German tall ship Preussen, which graced the seas for eight years before it was involved in an accident in 1910, the Royal Clipper has the proud distinction of being the largest and only five-masted full-rigged sailing ship built since her predecessor was launched on her maiden voyage from Bremerhaven. With her complement of 42 sails, which have a combined area of 56,000 square feet, Royal Clipper stands out amongst her peers in more ways than one. For all the characteristics that she possesses from the grand age of sail, Royal Clipper is as new as tomorrow, and boasts state-of-the-art navigation systems to prove it. She also combines beauty with comfort by offering every onboard luxury you could wish for. For passionate travellers and sail cruising connoisseurs, the 439 foot Royal Clipper offers a sea-going experience like no other; finding an undeniable balance between the grandeur, adventure and tradition of classic sailing and the superb facilities, cabins and conveniences associated with the finest modern yacht. #### Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Passenger Capacity | 227 | | Crew | 106 | | Gross Tonnage | 4,425.0 | | Length | 439.0 ft | | Total Cabins | 112 | ## Ports of Call ### Pireaus (Athens), Greece *Coordinates: 37.9792, 23.7166* Walking in the shadow of the Acropolis in the Agora, you can almost hear the voices of Plato, Socrates and Aristotle arguing about who was the greatest philosopher.
