Dreamy CM2 Christmas & New Year 2025/2026
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!

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

Juste incroyable !
Je reviens d’une croisière de 4 jours en Méditerranée à bord du Club Med 2 dans le cadre d’un voyage d’entreprise. C’était à la fois ma première croisière et ma première expérience avec le Club Med… et je garderai un souvenir absolument incroyable de ce séjour.
Entre la beauté des escales, les levers et couchers de soleil magnifiques et l’atmosphère unique du voilier, tout était réuni pour vivre une parenthèse hors du temps. Nous avons même eu la chance incroyable d’apercevoir des dauphins à trois reprises au large du sud de la France, aussi bien au départ qu’au retour… des moments magiques qui rendent l’expérience encore plus inoubliable.
Côté restauration, nous nous sommes régalés du début à la fin. Le buffet du petit-déjeuner était impressionnant : énormément de choix et beaucoup de préparations faites maison sous nos yeux (crêpes, gaufres, pancakes, omelettes, œufs au plat…). Même constat pour le déjeuner avec la plancha extérieure et un buffet extrêmement varié.
Chaque soir, nous dînions au Monte-Carlo, le restaurant avec service à table. Tous les plats étaient excellents — et pourtant j’ai l’habitude des bonnes tables. Mention spéciale pour les baklavas qui étaient absolument incroyables !
Les bars et les cocktails étaient eux aussi exceptionnels, d’autant plus que nous étions en all inclusive. Gros coup de cœur pour la citronnade, la pina colada, ainsi qu’un cocktail à base d’amaretto qui était vraiment délicieux.
Le niveau de service à bord est tout simplement exceptionnel. Tout est pensé dans les moindres détails : on vous installe votre serviette sur les genoux, l’équipe mémorise très vite vos habitudes (eau plate ou gazeuse, etc.) et chacun est aux petits soins en permanence. Une pensée particulière pour Jonathan et Adem pour leur gentillesse et leur attention tout au long du séjour.
Pour les personnes sujettes au mal de mer, tout le personnel est également très présent pour accompagner, rassurer et proposer des solutions. La conciergerie est ultra réactive et le service de chambre irréprochable : cabine faite deux fois par jour, rideaux tirés chaque soir, programme du lendemain déposé sur le lit avec des chocolats… des attentions qui font toute la différence.
Et comment ne pas terminer par les GO qui mettent une ambiance incroyable chaque soir ! Un immense merci à Robby, toujours souriant, drôle, agréable et plein d’énergie. Sa bonne humeur est ultra contagieuse et il a largement contribué à rendre cette croisière aussi exceptionnelle. Nous voilà maintenant avec le “Robbyblues” depuis notre retour !
Mention spéciale également au DJ qui était parfait : la musique, l’ambiance, les soirées… tout était incroyable. Je n’ai jamais autant fait la fête et autant rigolé. Et le départ chaque soir sur “Conquest of Paradise” donnait littéralement des frissons.
En tant que maman entrepreneure, c’est la première fois depuis longtemps que je passe des vacances aussi reposantes, sans avoir à lever le petit doigt une seule fois… et quel bien fou !
Une chose est sûre : maintenant, nous n’avons qu’une envie… réserver une nouvelle croisière.
