Club
Med Unveils Newly Refurbished Cruise Ship |
|
This summer, Club Med will unveil its newly
refurbished cruise ship, the Club Med II. The $4 million dollar
overhaul is a continuation of Club Med’s ongoing commitment to cater
to upscale leisure travelers. With 46 winter destinations in the
Caribbean and 70 summer options in the Mediterranean, the newly
renovated ship offers intimate refinement and ports of call rarely
found in the cruise industry. The distinctive suites, refurbished
cabins, new spa, attentive crew members and complimentary evening
champagne combine to offer an outstanding cruise. With a capacity of
372 passengers, guests will enjoy personalized service in an
intimate setting. The Club Med II accepts children eight and older.
Designer Sophie Jacqmin conceived the new interior layout to reflect
the ship’s warm and personal atmosphere. The design draws on the
stories of explorers, their epic journeys and the majestic vessels
they sailed in. The Moby Dick bar features a sperm whale’s tail in
wood, while old maps, navigation devices and deck gear grace the
walls of Le Méditerranée restaurant. In the Magellan restaurant,
Jacqmin reproduced a world map in gold, coral and black, allowing
diners to trace the routes of the great navigators while the Pacific
lounge integrates elements of a classic Remington typewriter and has
a feel akin to that of an English club. The vessel’s 186 renovated
cabins convey the intimate feel of a travel log. Ten new suites,
each a spacious haven of 388 square feet, are complete with
state-of-the-art features. In certain ports of call, the stern of
the five mast beauty opens up to provide guests with a private
marina to enjoy a variety of water sports with the expert assistance
of Club Med staff.
The new Club Med Spa by Carita overlooks the ocean, allowing guests
to relax from one of the finest spots on the ship. The spa offers an
oasis of well-being, featuring five sea view cabins, a private hair
salon and a relaxation area. Carita-trained beauty experts provide
exclusive care and custom advice in the subtle, elegant
surroundings.
In winter, the Club Med II tours the Caribbean, with the option to
visit 46 tropical gems. From quaint, off-the-beaten-path stops in
Venezuela, Colombia, Costa Rica and Panama, to elegant escapes in
the Antilles, guests can choose from 21 different cruise
itineraries. Those who wish to combine “sea and sand” can choose to
stay at a Club Med resort for a portion of their vacation.
In summer, the Club Med II glides through the Mediterranean to 70
regular ports of call in Greece, Turkey, Italy, Croatia and Libya.
The ship also offers 12 unique destinations featuring natural
wonders and historical sites, including two new routes to the
ancient Egyptian capital of Alexandria (Athens–Alexandria and
Alexandria–Nice). Passengers will marvel at a host of high-class
performances including the Moscow Circus Stars, Cirque du Soleil, Le
Plus Grand Cabaret du Monde, Las Vegas magicians and the Magnifica
brass quintet. For a quick getaway, mini-cruises are also available
along the coasts of Corsica and Italy. Guests looking to sail the
Mediterranean can chose among 28 different cruise itineraries.
And for those looking for a rare and timeless cruise, each spring
the Club Med II sails one transatlantic cruise, with ports of call
in Cuba, Bermuda, the Azores and Portugal. |
