About Star Clippers
Star Clippers offer a unique combination of traditional sailing, easy-going informality and pampered relaxation. Each of the three graceful tall ships fly along the waves like the legendary clippers once did, leaving a lasting impression on anyone who sails on them.
Life aboard a Star Clipper is blissfully relaxed and intimate, much like travelling on a private yacht. The magnificent five-masted Royal Clipper is the largest, fully-rigged sailing ship afloat today and has a full complement of 42 sails. Star Flyer is smaller and carries just 170 guests. Both ships explore the shores of the Mediterranean in the summer, before heading to the sun-drenched Caribbean in the winter, with Star Flyer also offering itineraries to Cuba in the winter months. Star Clipper is the sister ship to Star Flyer and offers itineraries around Indonesia, including the beautiful island of Bali, in the summer, and explores Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia and Singapore in the winter.
On Star Clippers there are no rigid schedules and you are free to do as you wish during your sailing adventure. You can dine when and with whom you wish, including the ship's officers and there is no need for formal gowns or 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. Local performers are often invited on board to give guests an authentic taste of their music and arts.
After your continental or full breakfast, the day proceeds at your own pace. Perhaps 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, take the opportunity to swim, snorkel, windsurf, or explore in a motorboat. Discover beautiful 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.
