The world’s largest square-rigged sailing ship, Golden Horizon, is a new vessel in service for cruise operator, Tradewind Voyages. The 5-masted Golden Horizon offers cruises in Europe, Australasia, the Indian Ocean and a full navigation of the Maritime Silk Route.

A near-replica of the 1913-built France II, Golden Horizon offers capacity for no more than 272 guests. It combines the onboard luxuries of a small cruise ship with charm, romance and adventure of the historic 19th and 20th-century clippers.

The evening entertainment onboard Golden Horizon is relatively low key, with performances from local artists and the ship’s musical duo designed to complement the onboard ambience.
