This Italian fishing port is the refuge of some of Italy's most powerful families and Hollywood stars intent on keeping out of the public eye.

Beautiful cruise!
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

January trip La Romana to Point à Pitre
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!

The first cruise of our lives and we loved it
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

Inoubliable !!!
Pour commencer, un immense merci à Lou et Lola de nous avoir fait bénéficier d'un magnifique surclassement
Ensuite je garderais toujours en mémoire les excellents moments passés en compagnie de Lou, Clara, Lilly Marie et Sarah qui ont éclairé notre vie à bord de leur gentillesse et attentions amicales.
Merci à Alexia pour la qualité des spectacles qu'elle à composé et au travail des équipes pour présenter des réalisations dignes de professionnels...avec le sourire.
Belles retrouvailles avec Mika et Benjamin toujours aussi dynamiques dans leurs animations.
Découverte de Lucas, un très grand CDV (ce n'est pas de sa taille qu'il est ici question!!!) omniprésent, charismatique, chaleureux qui tire le meilleur de ses équipes, fières de fournir une ambiance au niveau de ce magnifique bateau.
Qualité culinaire de très haut niveau dans les 2 restaurants, nettement au dessus de celle testée dans les Caraîbes il y à 2 ans, qui était pourtant d'excellente qualité : Bravo au chef et à ses équipes. J'ai d'ailleurs eu le privilège de visiter les cuisines et ne peut que louer la propreté et l'entretien et l'organisation de ces locaux...
Seul ombre au tableau Idyllique, l'animation musicale : Korben, est une somme d'individualités présentant chacun son tour un morceau et non un groupe, limitant ses prestations au strict minimum inscrit dans leur contrat...Même la seule fois où ils avaient réussi à créer une ambiance. Quant au DJ, on aurait pu penser à une bande son tant les morceaux étaient identiques chaque soir, excepté lorsque Charles prenait les manettes.
Ces dernières remarques ne servent qu'à démontrer l'objectivité de mon commentaire sur cette admirable croisière où chaque escale m'a apporté de magnifiques souvenirs, tant par les sublimes paysages que les découvertes culturelles.

Exceptionnel !
Croisière au Cap Vert sur le Club Med 2. Parenthèse unique ! un CDV exceptionnel le très élégant Lucas entouré d'une équipe très professionnelle. Du coup super ambiance ! Merci à Lou et Lola de nous avoir tant gâtés. Nous ne sommes pas prêts d'oublier nos soirées avec Lou, Lilly Marie, Clara et Sarah toujours aux petits soins et de super compagnie ! Heureuse d'avoir retrouvé Mika et Benji toujours au top ! bravo à Alexia pour ses spectacles ! la nourriture est parfaite, encore meilleure qu'avant ! l'excursion sur l'ile de Gorée est à ne pas rater, de très bons guides, une étape marquante. Globalement les escales sont bien choisies même si celle à Sao Vicente était un peu trop longue et celle de Santo Antao un peu trop courte !!!
Enfin merci encore à Marie Laure et à notre agence de Nice pour ses excellents conseils !!
Ce bateau est une merveille et avec une équipe pareille vous n'avez qu'une envie : REPARTIR au plus vite !!!
