Yachts & Sail Ships
Inspired by the legendary Tall Ship, Preussen, the Royal Clipper has the proud distinction of being the largest and only five-masted sailing ship built since her predecessor was launched at the beginning of the last century. With her complement of 42 sails, Royal Clipper is a splendid sight to behold. You might think she was an apparition from the grand age of sail, but Royal Clipper is as new as tomorrow. She boasts state-of-the-art navigation systems and all the comforts of today.
For connoisseurs of sail cruising, the 439 foot Royal Clipper offers the ultimate sea-going experience, balancing the grandeur, adventure and tradition of sailing with the superb service, amenities and accommodations of the finest modern yachts. Royal Clipper carries just 227 guests in luxurious style.
A full 18,940 square feet of open deck and three swimming pools create a wonderfully spacious and expansive outdoor environment. Find your secret hide-away on one of the hidden balconies on either side of the bow. Climb the mast (with safety harness provided) to one of the passenger look-out 'crow's-nests', thoughtfully furnished with a comfortable settee, where you'll have the grandest view of all! Royal Clipper's interior spaces are just as dazzling. They include a 3-deck atrium that funnels sunlight into the elegantly appointed dining room, where you'll enjoy deliciously prepared cuisine and a no-tie dress code.
A convenient marina platform lowers from the stern for water sports and diving. The ultimate, unique Royal Clipper experience - the one-of-a-kind Captain Nemo Lounge - is the site of the spa and health club, which features underwater glass portholes!
The Star Clipper and Star Flyer - The Stars of the Sea
Step aboard these unique vessels and discover a new age of sailing, where the traditions of the past are happily married to the comforts and amenities of the present.Star Clipper and Star Flyer are modern cruise ships in every way, created for comfort-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 just 170 guests in pampered comfort.
Life aboard is blissfully relaxed, much like traveling on a private yacht. You'll never feel confined, as each ship offers pleasingly spacious accommodations and expansive teak decks with ample space for relaxation and play. In fact, you'll find that these ships offer more outdoor space per passenger than most conventional cruise ships.
The decor of Star Clipper and Star Flyer is reminiscent of the grand age of sailing. Antique prints and paintings of famous sailing ships please the eye, while teak and gleaming mahogany rails are richly reminiscent of Star Clippers' proud nautical heritage. Enjoy our convivial indoor-outdoor Tropical Bar and Piano Bar, and Edwardian style library where a Belle poque fireplace glows with a warmth that reflects the friendliness and enthusiasm of Star Clippers' hospitable officers and crew.
Star Clippers' itineraries range from the sun-kissed Mediterranean to the exotic Far East and the Caribbean.
Like a fine resort, all the amenities are here: double bed or twin beds that can be converted to queen, marble lined bathroom, private safe, television with in-house video, direct dial telephone, hair dryer and comfortable furnishings. The decor is tastefully traditional. You'll find the accoutrements of a luxurious classic yacht, where everything is ingeniously designed for comfort, ease and efficiency.
Burnished brass fittings and mahogany bright work recall Star Clipper's nautical heritage. Soft natural fabrics reflect the colors of the sun, sea and sky. Prints of famous clipper ships and sailing yachts grace the walls. Everything is immaculately maintained and your steward knows exactly when to appear.
On Royal Clipper 14 deluxe suites offer the ultimate in cruising comfort; with private verandah, whirlpool tub and 24-hour room service. All but six of her 98 cabins are outside. For the ultimate indulgence, two 355 square foot owner's suites may be combined to accommodate up to eight guests. All in all, your Star Clippers cabin or suite is a perfectly arranged abode for daydreams and nights of blissful rest and relaxation.
Star Clippers' inspired chefs make dining aboard a delightful culinary adventure with an international menu of foods from the far corners of the earth. When you rise, help yourself to a continental breakfast with Parisian croissants, toasted English muffins or sweet Danish pastries, or savor a full breakfast with fresh tropical fruits and crisp bacon, grilled sausage, smoked salmon and omelets cooked to order in the dining room.
When evening comes, Star Clippers' elegantly appointed dining room becomes the setting for the chef's finest culinary presentations, designed to please the eye and the palate, complimented by a selection of equally fine wines. You'll find their service to be friendly and gracious, as befits a tasteful restaurant. Of course, they would not presume to dictate your seating preferences.
Children are welcome on Star Clippers. While there is no structured program providing supervision and care for young children, they are invited to participate in shipboard activities suited to their ability. Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
Friends gather around the piano bar and join in singing a few favorites. In the Tropical Bar, the bartender shakes a pitcherful of some delicious cooling concoction. Now, is there anything more relaxing than this? Clearly, this is 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 at certain ports, Star Clippers brings local performers on board to give passengers an authentic taste of the local music and arts. So, rather than enduring another Broadway revue, you can 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 is a chance to hear some great storytelling. There are other events and activities, such as hilarious crab racing contests, which have evolved from Star Clippers' sailing heritage. In fact, Star Clippers passengers tell us that it's the easy-going informality of Star Clippers that makes a cruise with us so enjoyable.
A windsurfer traces a zigzag wake over dancing wave tops. A snorkeler floats over a garden blooming with purple and rose coral. A diver plays tag with a school of clown fish darting in and out of an underwater wreck. On Star Clippers, the day proceeds at your own pace, whatever that may be.
Indeed, the very notion of a rigid agenda of activities is foreign to Star Clipper cruises. Join the Captain on the always-open bridge as he plots the course for the next landfall. Learn how to splice a line, reef a sail or tie a square knot. Cool off with a dip in one of the pools, or unwind with a cool drink and your favorite song in the piano bar. Discover history and fascinating cultures on exciting shore excursions in exotic ports. If it's a beach day, you can swim, windsurf, water-ski, sail a Sunfish, ride a banana boat or explore in a Zodiac. Star Clippers' sports staff will be happy to offer assistance, should you require it.
On Royal Clipper, a unique marina platform lowers to sea level, giving you instant access to water sports activities. We'll take you to remote reefs, underwater wrecks and blue lagoons where marine species are in abundance. You can be confident that your environmentally friendly sailing ship will leave the world's pristine places as clean and unpolluted as when it arrived. Whether you elect to glide among the emerald-clad jewels of the Caribbean, enjoy the incomparable adventure of an epic ocean crossing, be beguiled by the ancient, sun-warmed ports of the Mediterranean or be intrigued by the mysteries of the Far East and Central America, each and every voyage aboard Star Clippers will be a little bit different from the one before or after.
