Detailed answer

Club Med 2 was built at Le Havre in France and launched in 1992. It has a gross tonnage of 14,983, and Club Med gives a length of 187 metres and 184 cabins. Club Med calls it a legendary French sailing yacht and sells it as part of its Exclusive Collection, with drinks and activities included. Some sailings are marked as ideal for families, with discounts for children aged 8 to 17. A nautical hall opens from the hull for water-skiing, wakeboarding, wing foiling and paddleboarding. There are two salt-water pools, champagne served daily from 6pm, menus designed with the Ferrandi cookery school and a spa run with Sothys. The whole ship was refurbished and its sails remodelled in late 2022.

How busy will town be?

The upcoming visits listed on this page show the passengers expected on each call and any other ships in port the same day. Town is busiest when several ships are in at once or a large ship arrives at a weekend. A ship carrying a few hundred passengers makes little difference on its own.

Can you sail on it from nearby?

Yes, from Malaga. The Iberian Splendors cruise runs from Thursday 5 November 2026 to Sunday 15 November 2026 as a round trip from Malaga, calling at Motril, Puerto Banús, Gibraltar, Ceuta, Portimão, Lisbon, Tangier and Cadiz. The ship then crosses from Malaga to Fort-de-France in Martinique from Sunday 15 November 2026. In spring 2027 The Pearls of the Strait sails from Malaga to Alicante from Friday 16 April 2027 to Friday 23 April 2027.
