Onboard the tall ships of the Star Clippers fleet

Tradition, informality, and comfort -
life aboard a Star Clipper

A unique combination of sailing tradition and pampered relaxation. An authentic Tall Ship adventure without sacrificing creature comforts. Easy going informality. That is the essence of a Star Clippers tall ship cruise.

Our graceful ships fly along the waves, just like the legendary clippers, and as thousands of square feet of sail unfurl above you'll experience the romance of tall ship sailing.

Life aboard a Star Clipper is blissfully relaxed, much like travelling on a private yacht. Our 228-guest Royal Clipper is the largest true fully rigged sailing ship afloat today, our smaller Star ships carry 170 guests. Each ship offers spacious accommodation and teak decks with space for relaxing and play.

On Star Clippers there are no rigid schedules. You are free to do as you wish with your days and evenings, you can dine when and with whom you wish, including the ship's officers. No need for formal gowns and black tie. Our inspired chefs make dining aboard a delightful culinary adventure with an international menu served by friendly and gracious staff in a tasteful restaurant. No Broadway revues - we bring local performers on board for an authentic taste of their music and arts.

From your continental or full breakfast the day proceeds at your own pace. Join the Captain on the always-open bridge, cool off with a dip in one of the pools, unwind with a cool drink, or join in a favourite song at the piano bar. Dicover history and cultures on exciting shore excursions in exotic ports. If it's a beach day swim, windsurf, sail or explore in a Zodiac. We'll take you to remote reefs, underwater wrecks, and blue lagoons. Yet you can be confident that your environmentally friendly sailing ship will leave the world's pristine places clean and unpolluted.
