Masts lined with crisp white sails billow above you in the breeze, transporting you back to a golden age of travel as you navigate the Croatian coast or Windward Islands. Star Clippers’ fleet of square-rigger ships gives you an authentic, inimitable sailing experience, awash with grandeur and a sense of adventure. At the same time, they’re equipped with all the modern amenities for a relaxing voyage. And, their size means they can dock at smaller ports, away from the crowds.

It’s hard not to get caught up in the nostalgia of embarking on a sea voyage aboard a Star Clippers tall ship. These fully rigged sailing vessels look the part — I don’t think I’ve ever left Venice in such style. I also like how you can be as active or relaxed as you feel inclined in assisting the crew.

Star Clippers destinations
