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
Star Clippers’ small fleet of fully rigged sailing ships ply the waters of the Caribbean, Central America, and the Mediterranean. You can hoist the sails on a cruise around the Adriatic, or island-hop between the likes of Barbados, Antigua, and the Windward Islands.
