Star Clipper and Star Flyer are modern cruise ships in every way, created for luxury-loving passengers who also love the traditions and romance of the legendary era of sailing ships. Star Clipper and Star Flyer are both 360 feet long and each carries around 150 guests in pampered comfort.
Life aboard is blissfully relaxed, and you’ll never feel confined thanks to spacious cabins and expansive teak decks with ample space and not one, but two swimming pools. Also notable are the atmospheric inside/outside tropical bar and piano bar, the attractive restaurant accommodating all guests in a single sitting with an open seating policy.
The décor of Star Flyer is reminiscent of the grand age of sail. Antique prints and paintings of famous sailing ships please the eye, while teak and gleaming mahogany rails are richly reminiscent of a proud nautical heritage.
As the name suggests, Star Flyer is both a shining example to other ships of her kind and a vessel that cuts through the water with all the grace of a bird in full flight, she offers her own style and character to anyone who steps aboard.
If you are feeling active, you can try a supervised climb up the rigging to the crow’s nest, or at selected stops try some complimentary water sports like kayaking, windsurfing or dinghy sailing.
