Clearly these are not a cruise ship in the ordinary sense. On Star Clippers, you will find that there are no rigid schedules. You are free to do as you wish with your days – and evenings. To entertain you, we bring local performers on board to give passengers an authentic taste of the local music and arts.

You’ll enjoy the conviviality of fellow shipmates while a live band plays tropical tunes from a real paradise. The Captain and crew are superb improvisers of the kind of light-hearted fun you’ll only find on Star Clippers. The Captain’s daily briefing on deck is wonderfully informative, and a chance to hear some great story-telling as well. And there are other events and activities during the day and night that have evolved from Star Clippers’ sailing heritage. In fact, our passengers tell us that it’s the easygoing informality of Star Clippers that makes a cruise with us so special.

Star Clippers operates three of the world’s largest and tallest sailing vessels. Visiting ports often untouched by larger cruise ships and offering passengers the activities, amenities and atmosphere of a private yacht, Star Clippers is recognized as one of the premier specialty cruise lines. The ships currently sail throughout the Caribbean, Mediterranean and Costa Rica.

The brainchild of Swedish yachting enthusiast Mikael Krafft, Star Clippers operates a fleet of three sail-assisted motor ships catering to people who own their own yachts or those who are simply turned-off by the mainstream cruise experience. The line offers port-intensive itineraries in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Thailand and Tahiti.
