Star Clippers

For a cruising experience with a difference, look no further than Star Clippers. For over 33 years, Star Clippers has been leading the way in providing authentic sailing experiences upon some of the most unique and timeless vessels on the seas. Step aboard one of Star Clippers’ three tall ships, Royal Clipper, Star Clipper and Star Flyer, for a voyage to remember. These ships are a shining example to other ships of their kind, cutting through the water with all the grace of a bird in full flight. Their Clipper heritage is reflected in every inch of their polished brass and gleaming brightwork, while the comfort and elegance of their opulent dining rooms and outdoor tropical bars are reminiscent of travelling on a private yacht. The perfect balance of maritime nostalgia and modern cruising, passengers are invited to help raise the sails, learn how to tie a knot and can visit the open bridge any time they please. The more adventurous can go so far as to lie in the bowsprit net suspended above the rushing sea or climb the mast to the Crow‘s Nest for stunning panoramic views as they sail. Destinations are far-and-wide and include summers in the Mediterranean and Winters in the Caribbean and Central America. Firm favourites include ocean crossings and, on many bucket lists, the Panama Canal.

Our ships’ major source of energy - wind propulsion is both abundant and emission-free. Operating the world’s largest and tallest sailing vessels, we always try to maximize the amount of time our ships are under wind power. Guests can experience a true tall ship sailing experience, and in addition, this also reduces the amount of fuel consumed. When our ships do consume fuel, it is a less polluting grade. All the vessels only utilize very pure high-quality low-sulphur gas oil. For this, our line has been awarded the International Air Pollution Prevention Certificate. Star Flyer was the first ship in the world to receive this certificate, and later Star Clipper and Royal Clipper received the same certification.
