Star Clippers offers an authentic, low-key and casual sailing experience. More moderately priced than small ship luxury cruise Windstar, Star Clippers offers a more genuine sailing experience, though engines are used as needed. On a Star Clippers cruise, you sail in full harmony with the environment.
Star Clippers attracts seasoned travelers who have often traveled on big ships, have their own boats, or who are inspired being on a vessel that brings the history and traditions of authentic sailing ships to life. It's also a romantic trip that appeals to honeymooners. Those looking for casinos, room service or formalized entertainment may be disappointed.
About Star Clipper's Fleet
Star Clippers' Royal Clipper is the flagship of the fleet. At 439 square feet, Royal Clipper is the largest full-rigged sailing ship in the world -- the ultimate mega sailing yacht. With 42 sails and 56,000 square feet of sail, three swimming pools, a marina the lowers from the stern for water sports, and a unique underwater viewing lounge. Royal Clipper accommodates up to 227 passengers.
Star Clippers' other yachts, Star Clipper and Star Flyer are smaller brethren that carry up to 170 guests. They are the tallest of the tall ships, with 36,000 square feet of sail.
Each of the vessels carries watersports toys onboard, including kayaks. There are no casinos or stage shows, and a piano bar in the evening may be the highlight of onboard entertainment. Local entertainment is brought onboard at select ports of call. Or you can enjoy the crab racing contest.
Passengers can take part in hoisting the sails if they wish, climb the mast to the crow's nest, or observe from the underwater portholes in the Captain Nemo Lounge (Royal Clipper)! Star Clippers offers a larger version of what a private yacht charter experience is like.
Dining aboard Star Clippers is open seating and the quality of the international cuisine, accompanied by fine wines, is first rate.
Except for scuba diving water sports like banana boating and windsurfing are included.
