Welcome to Star Clippers

The gentle lapping of the waves against a wind-driven hull. A pod of Dolphins playing in the curling bow wave. A salute to a propitious marriage, the wedding of a splendid cruise holiday with the romance of sailing aboard a true Tall Ship. 

It is this unique combination of sailing tradition and pampered relaxation that is the essence of Star Clippers.  For within the setting of a magnificently evocative Tall Ship, is a world for those who seek an authentic sailing adventure without sacrificing creature comforts.  Our graceful ships fly along the waves, just like the legendary clippers of a century and a-half ago. And this is as much an adventure in highly evolved relaxation as it is in tradition.

For though computers have not replaced the skilled hands of our crew in the art of raising sails, we don’t expect our guests to become barefoot seamen. Relax and let the crew do the work. Now, come aboard Star Clipper, Star Flyer or Royal Clipper, the largest true fully-rigged sailing ship in the world today. As thousands of square feet of sail unfurl above you, you’ll feel the elation of those mariners of long ago.  Because this is Star Clippers, and the adventure has only just begun.

Life on board

Friends gather around the piano bar and join in singing a few favorites. In the Tropical Bar, the bartender shakes a pitcherful of some delicious cooling concoction. Now, is there anything more relaxing than this?

Clearly, this is not a cruise ship in the ordinary sense. On Star Clippers, you will find that there are no rigid schedules. You are free to do as you wish with your days and evenings.

To entertain you at certain ports, they bring local performers on board to give passengers an authentic taste of the local music and arts. So, rather than enduring another Broadway revue, you can enjoy the conviviality of fellow shipmates while a live band plays tropical tunes from a real paradise.

The Captain and crew are superb improvisers of the kind of light-hearted fun you’ll only find on Star Clippers. The Captain’s daily briefing on deck is wonderfully informative, as well as a chance to hear some great storytelling. There are other events and activities, such as the hilarious crab racing contests, that have evolved from Star Clippers’ sailing heritage. In fact, their passengers tell them that it’s the easy-going informality of Star Clippers that makes a cruise with them so enjoyable.
