Tall ship sailing

David & Mark's verdict

A voyage aboard one of the three Star Clipper ships is a vastly different experience to a conventional cruise. Modelled on historic sailing vessels, they fly great clouds of billowing sails and offer passengers a timeless adventure as they explore the world's most beautiful oceans and islands.

Star Clippers says

Enjoy the thrill of cruising under sail aboard an authentic clipper ship. You’ll call on ports that are inaccessible to larger cruise ships, while enjoying the luxuries of first-class accommodation and great food.

This unique sailing experience can be enjoyed in the Caribbean, Central America and the Mediterranean. Our fleet consists of a pair of 4-masted tall ships, the Star Clipper and Star Flyer, and our newest addition, the glamorous 5-masted Royal Clipper.

Whichever ship or itinerary you choose, there’s little to beat the romance of leaving port at sunset as the sails are unfurled. There is an exciting menu of shore excursions and numerous opportunities to dive or snorkel at pristine coral reefs.

On board, the mood is one of relaxed elegance. Guests are encouraged to dress casually, dine at their leisure and enjoy an unhurried atmosphere. If you wish, you can help haul in the sails, or you can simply lounge in hammocks on deck and count the stars.

Choose from 3-, 4-, 7-, 10- and 11-night voyages as well as longer transatlantic and Indian Ocean crossings.
