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

Croisière romantique
Nous avons passé un séjour inoubliable en juillet à bord du Club Med 2 pour la croisière en Sicile et en Grèce.
Un grand bravo à Adrien, Chef du Village, pour son professionnalisme et sa capacité à créer une ambiance conviviale tout au long du voyage. Merci également à Lenny, Responsable Animation, pour son énergie communicative, son sens de l’organisation et les moments festifs qu’il a su orchestrer avec talent.
Une mention spéciale à Sam, qui a su marier magie et technologie pour nous surprendre ! Ses prestations, à la fois ludiques et innovantes, nous ont permis de découvrir un univers original, mêlant divertissement et curiosité pour les nouvelles technologies. Ce type d’activité est vraiment un plus et mériterait d’être proposé plus souvent !
La nourriture à bord était tout simplement exceptionnelle : raffinée, variée et digne des meilleures tables, avec un service impeccable et souriant.
Les escales étaient magnifiques ! Une croisière qui nous laissera des souvenirs impérissables. Merci à toute l’équipe !

Une croisière magique avec une équipe exceptionnelle
Nous avons passé un séjour du 9 au 16 juillet 2025 à bord du Club Med 2. Cette semaine restera gravée dans nos mémoires tant l’expérience fut magique ! Adrien, le Chef du Village, était présent partout, professionnel, disponible et toujours souriant. Leny, responsable animation, débordait d’énergie et a su faire vibrer chaque soirée. Merci également aux équipes nautiques, au personnel de restauration et à la conciergerie, toujours aux petits soins. Les cabines étaient impeccables et l'ambiance sur le ponton absolument incroyable. Une croisière inoubliable que nous recommandons chaudement.
