At the Heart of the Eclipse of the Century From Palermo to Palermo

We had an amazing 14-day cruise in the Caribbean Sea. Under the heartfelt and professional leadership of CdV Lucca Valmori, the entire team of GO’s and GE’s went above and beyond to cater to every wish of the guests. The spirit of a happy family hosting their friends was palpable. New Year’s Eve was a memorable celebration, bringing joy to all ages. Thank you for making our trip so special. We’ll definitely be back!

A beautiful greek island cruise on CM2! We booked a suite which was spacious with 2 bathrooms and 2 cupboards, somehow newly renovated. I loved the extra space! Our cabin lady Rizza was just super adorable! In general service and food has been upgraded since last year that was a very nice surprise! The staff is led by Adrien the CDV who practices leadership at its Best and it shows! Lyora from the excursion desk, Tan and Manauly from the conciergerie, Laura from the Spa, adorable Anouk from the teens club, Stephane & Milan from the nautical hall and everybody from the service personnel, thank you very much for this nice stay! Forgive me if I forgot somebody because you were all actually wonderful! Always happy sailing, Nathalie & Kimon

Lovely trip in the Caribbean with really good food, especially considering we were on a sailing boat! An amazing experience, and a massive thanks to Isabelle, Denise, and Lucas for their energy and kindness! Thanks also to the rest of the crew (everyone we met, to be honest) and to Stéphane, even though the nautical hall was not open :( We’ll definitely come back to the Mediterranean Sea to try it for sure!

We made a cruise with Club Med 2 beginning of July 2024 for a week visiting the Italian coast from Rome to Palermo (2 adults and 3 teenagers). We had never done a cruise before so a little afraid but it turned out to be a success.

The boot is not the youngest so do not expect glides, game rooms, … but it has the old grandeur with the sails, nice decks, …
The cabins are rather small so I would recommend to take a suite like we did as they have a small seating area and 2 bathrooms.
The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, be it in the restaurant, bars, nautical deck, …The food is very nice and quite refined although you also have teenager food.

I understand that in general the passengers on the boat are pensioners which was also the case for our cruise, much appreciated BTW as it means peace and tranquility and no (would be) influencers. You should count on about 200 passengers. The only downside is that when you do organized trips the pace is very slow given the number of pensioners.

The good thing about the boat compared to the huge cruise ships, is that it can attend both the big cities but also the small costal towns. As such we visited small islands which are otherwise impossible to visit. The boat then just lies off the coast and they bring you with small vessels to the coast all day long. But you can also stay on the boat and do all kind of watersports on the nautical deck.

Bottom line: if you like parties, kicks, modern ships, slides, several restaurants, … then avoid this ship. If you like more refined peace and tranquility then I can only recommend Club Med 2

Nous adorons le charme du bateau et c'est pour ça que nous revenons depuis 3 ans....Mais pas certain de revenir car la qualité de la restauration est en baisse chaque année et c'est très net en 2026. La qualité du mobilier de pont (tables, chaises , transats en ruine...) et la deco des bars et restos du pont est indigne du bateau! On se rend compte que le nouvel actionnaire chinois du Club serre les coûts et exploite le bateau jusqu'à à la corde. Quand même, ..le mobilier en teck est très abordable en Chine, le renouveler ne coûterait pas grand chose, mais non😂
La qualité de certaines escales à quai dans des ports de commerces, voir industriels...contraste avec des escales plus qualitatives au mouillage...
Il faudrait aussi renouveler un peu les escales en Méditerranée en profitant des capacité de ce bateau à aller dans des endroits inaccessibles aux autres bateaux de croisière. Quand aux activités nautiques du pont arrière, c'est de l'ordre du gadget... pourquoi pas une zone de baignade en mer quand l'escale au mouillage s'y prête?
Bref c'est bien triste de voir la prestation en baisse car le rapport qualité prix n'est plus là vs les autres offres de croisières. Ce bateau unique en son genre mériterai beaucoup mieux! Des investissements messieurs les nouveaux actionnaires à Hong Kong!!
