Authentic Sailing Adventures with Star Clippers
Life on board is casual and relaxed, with no crowds or lines, just the perfect amount of personal service – like being on your own private yacht. Holding 170 to 300 guests, the ships are adorned with striking brass fixtures and an abundance of real teak wood. Deep hues and gold celebrate Star Clippers nautical décor and design.
Guests can be as busy or as relaxed as they want to be with complimentary water sports, yoga and wellness classes, swimming pools, shore excursions designed to highlight to best of the ports visited and guest lecturers – or relax by the pool, on the beach or in the bowsprit net suspended above the ocean watching dolphins frolic below. Where else would you be able to help raise the sails, climb the mast to the crow’s nest 75 feet above the deck, learn how to read nautical charts or steer an actual sailing ship? The friendly captain and crew are always accessible and eager to show off their nautical skills and knowledge.

Star Clipper and Star Flyer reflect their proud heritage, carrying 170 guests each in pampered comfort with two swimming pools and an Edwardian library with fireplace.
Star Clippers newest ship, the Flying Clipper, will debut in late 2018 and is based on the France II. She will carry 300 guests in elegant luxury, boasting three swimming pools, a library, state-of-the-art gym and spa.
Star Clippers itineraries feature the most popular “must see” ports as well as off-the-beaten path small islands and coves not accessible by big ships. Sail the turquoise waters of the Caribbean to the Windward, Grenadine, Treasure and Leeward Island groups, or experience a full Panama Canal transit. Whether blissfully relaxing on the miles of sandy beaches or traversing the inner corners of the islands on hikes or nature walks, sailing the Caribbean on the Royal Clipper or Star Flyer will help you understand the character of the islands.
The Star Clipper features 7- to 14-night sailings to the exotic, mystical lands of Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. There is no better way to discover these remote jewels than on a Star Clippers authentic sailing ship to discover a rich and fascinating culture, varied landscapes, stunning beaches and ancient temples.
The Mediterranean Sea was an important trade route for travelers during ancient times and never ceases to enchant Star Clippers guests. Experience the Northern and Southern Cyclades or sail the spectacular Dalmatian coast to Croatia, Montenegro and Slovenia. Discover picturesque beaches, quaint seaside towns and fishing villages in France, Italy, Sicily, Corsica and Sardinia, visiting “must-see” ports such as Venice, Dubrovnik, Mykonos, Santorini and Cannes, as well as get “off-the-beaten” path to Palma, Palmarola, Hydra and Île de Porquerolles. Wherever you go, the crystalline waters and history beckon you and never cease to disappoint.
For the adventurous, the Trans-Atlantic crossings offer the thrill of traversing a boundless ocean under sail with long lazy days at sea, relaxing under a blanket of stars and taking in the ocean’s salty fragrance, feeling the steadying power of the sails as they capture the energy of the wind and propel the ship through the expanse of ocean.
