Now come aboard Star Clipper, Star Flyer or their newest flagship the Royal Clipper, the largest fully rigged sailing ship in the world today. As thousands of feet of sail unfurl above you, you'll feel the elation of those mariners of long ago. This is Star Clippers and the adventure has just begun!
The world you’ve discovered is a wonderfully unique Caribbean Paradise. It’s as if you had your own chartered yacht and could sail anywhere you wanted. Except we do all the work for you while you laze in our pool, or watch the dolphins play in their pool. Royal Clipper explores the lush, exotically beautiful islands like Dominica and St. Lucia, where jungle trails abound with sweet-smelling vanilla orchids and other wild-growing tropical flowers and visits privileged enclaves in the lesser-known Grenadines.
Smaller ports like Iles des Saintes, offer an intimate Caribbean experience. A cruise aboard Royal Clipper is the perfect platform from which to launch diving adventures in the Tobago Cays, where the reefs are a marvel of colourful marine creations. Royal Clipper sails from Barbados on alternating voyages to explore the Spice Islands of the Grenadines or the Windward Islands. The Caribbean venues where Royal Clipper sails are famous for their glorious sailing weather, and every voyage promises the thrill of passagemaking under full sail.
Think about it....
... gentle waves wash a rock-strewn beach where Greek fishermen bring their catch to shore at the end of the day. Their craggy faces are etched by long days at sea, toiling under the same sun that rose and set for eons over their ancestors…
... islands were the landing places of an endless tide of invaders from far off lands. From ancient Phoenicia, Persia, the Peloponnesus, Imperial Rome and Constantinople they came. Followed by waves of European Crusader knights, Genoan mariners, Venetian merchants and turbanned Turkish troops of the Ottoman Empire. They stormed ashore to conquer – only to be vanquished by time and absorbed into the dry volcanic earth. All that remains are their stone ruins, ghostly shapes wrapped in myth and mystery!
... the Cyclades are an inviting playground for pleasure seekers aboard Star Flyer. Where white-washed churches point tilted Greek crosses heavenward in skies of brilliant blue, while sun worshippers bask on the beaches under Helios’ golden gaze. Twisting cobblestone alleyways lead to tavernas where octopus salad and ouzo are in order. Ancient Minoan palaces and medieval fortresses whisper tales of pagan rites and knightly rituals.
... in hidden coves, our Star Flyer finds harbors where pristine sands and warm crystalline waters beckon you to explore underwater grottos while beachgoers laze away under sun-blessed skies, yet another dream-like day in the mythic, magical Cyclades.
... continue up Turkey's stunning Aegean Coast through the Dardanelles to Istanbul. The narrow Dardanelles Strait is one of the busiest shipping areas in the world and takes you to the Sea of Marmara and finally to the ancient city of Istanbul. You'll also explore nearby Dikili and the world renowned Pergamum.
You may combine two 7 night cruises for a 14 night cruise.
