Monaco-based Star Clippers is a cruising company whose fleet comprises 3 tall ships. Star Clipper and Star Flyer, a pair of twin 115 meter-long clipper ships, as fast as the winds and graceful as swans, carry just 166 guests in pampered comfort.
Royal Clipper, inspired by the famous tall ship Preussen inaugurated in the early 19th century, is the world’s largest five-masts square-rigger in existence today. With 134 meters in length and 42 sails, she offers the ultimate sea-going experience balancing the grandeur, adventure and tradition of sailing with the superb service, amenities and accommodations of the finest modern yacht. Royal Clipper carries just 227 guests in luxurious style. A full 1760sqm of open deck and three swimming pools create a wonderfully spacious and expansive outdoor environment.
Secret hideaways on hidden balconies on either side of the bow allow for contemplative moments. For the more adventurous, climbing the mast (with safety harness provided) to one of the passenger look out ‘crow’s-nests’, offer the grandest view of all!
Interior spaces include a three-deck atrium that funnels sunlight into the elegantly appointed dining room, featuring mouthwatering cuisine and a no-tie dress code. A convenient marina platform lowers from the stern for watersports. The one-of-a-kind Captain Nemo Lounge is the site of the ship’ spa and health club with underwater glass portholes.
The portfolio of itineraries in new destinations on all 3 ships is astounding, with new ports of call added to the already impressive agenda, from transatlantic crossings to the Caribbean, Central America, and back to Eastern Mediterranean, Christmas Sailings, themed cruises and more. Fair winds to all !
