Club Med 2 is a five-masted computer-controlled sailing ship owned and operated by Club Med and operated as a cruise ship. It combines the power of seven computer-operated sails with more traditional diesel-electric power, having four diesel generators that power two electric motors. The Club Med 2 was launched in 1992 in Le Havre, France. Her sister ship the Club Med 1 was sold to Windstar Cruises and renamed Wind Surf in 1998. The home port is Mata-Utu on Uvea, an island in the Pacific Ocean belonging to the French overseas collectivity of Wallis and Futuna.

The ship, one of the largest sailing cruise ships in the world, carrying up to 386 passengers with a crew of 214, sails the waters of the Mediterranean and Adriatic Sea in the summertime, and the Caribbean in the winter, finding her way into anchorages larger cruise ships cannot reach.
