WHY CHOOSE STAR CLIPPERS FOR YOUR NEXT HOLIDAY Star Clippers operates three of the world’s largest and tallest sailing vessels.

Visiting intimate ports often untouched by larger cruise ships and offering passengers the activities, amenities and atmosphere of a private yacht, Star Clippers is recognised as one of the premier speciality cruise lines.

Passengers can enjoy the romance of sailing on board a true tall ship in a relaxed atmosphere with high standards of service provided by an attentive crew. All three ships have expansive teak decks, swimming pools, informal dining, a convivial Tropical Bar and a comfortable piano bar.

These 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 the crew in the art of raising sails, guests are not expected 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 full-rigged sailing ship in the world today.

As thousands of square feet of sail unfurl above you, you will feel the elation of those mariners of long ago. Because this is Star Clippers and the adventure has only just begun.

SICILY & AST CO AMALFI 7 nights aboard Royal Clipper

Join Royal Clipper in Rome and admire the beautiful coastline of rocky coves and crystal clear water en route to Palmarola and Ponza.

Visit Sorrento and visit nearby Pompeii where the ashen remains of ancient Romans lie frozen in time. Sail on to Amalfi before continuing to beautiful Taormina, the town that inspired Goethe to say that “It is the greatest work of art and nature”. Finally, cruise to the largest of the volcanic Aeolian Islands where you can explore the cliff-top citadel and watch the sky for frequent volcanic fireworks as you sail past Isola Strómboli…

Walking in the shadow of the Acropolis in Athens, you can almost hear the voices of Plato, Socrates and Aristotle arguing about who was the greatest philosopher. The beautiful island of Rhodes, your next port of call, has a rich and varied history while Bodrum - known in ancient times as Halicarnassus, is the site of King Mausolu’s Tomb, one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World.

Dalyan River, a lovely, unspoiled lake teeming with fish is a picture one hardly expects to see in Turkey, while the island of Santorini is perhaps the most breathtaking of all the Greek Islands and one of Star Clipper’s most memorable stops…

Palma is one of the most compelling ports of call in the Mediterranean; it’s stunning Gothic cathedral towers over the harbour and hides a maze of twisting streets lined with designer boutiques and open-air markets. Next, the islands of Formentera and Ibiza, with beautiful beaches and hidden delights, beckon visitors from afar.

Star Flyer continues on to the Spanish mainland, with stops in the captivating city of Valencia and Sant Carles de la Rapita, south of the beautiful Delta del Ebro, before returning to the Balearics.

Your journey concludes back in Palma, via Pollenca, where the port offers spectacular views across mountain and sea...

Monaco retains its gilt-edged allure with opulent casinos and the magnificent Palais du Prince - reminding you of an elegant, pre-war era. In L’lle Rousse, why not take an excursion to the peninsula of Cap Corse, where medieval watchtowers dot the cliff tops every few miles.

Star Flyer then takes you on to Bonifacio; Porto and through the Scandola Nature Reserve before arriving to the small island of Porquerolles, where the rugged hills of the Massif des Maures subside into the eternally-blue sea. St Tropez, a highlight of this cruise, is a people-watcher’s paradise and it is said that the most spectacular way to approach its exquisite harbour is by sea…
