Sailing
SPLURGE: Rome to Venice
Star Clippers recently added the Royal Clipper, a majestic giantess modeled on the 1902 Preussen, to its fleet. The biggest fully rigged sailing ship afloat, her size benefits the reluctant high-seas adventurer (three pools, watersports platform, and a spa), while her anachronistic layout pleases the sailors. From $2,865 per person for 11 days; www.starclippers.com
VALUE: Pacific Northwest
Local Escape’s century-old classic wooden tall ship, the schooner Martha, is the oldest working sailboat in Washington. Passengers learn to rig the sails and integrate with the professional crew while learning the history of the comely vessel and spotting sea lions. From $925 per person for 4 days, all-inclusive, with transfers from Seattle; www.localescapes.com
