Star Clippers America introduced travelers to the thrill of authentic tall ship sailing in many of the world’s most spectacular destinations over 25 years ago. By offering creative itineraries and breathtaking unique ports throughout the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Indonesia, and the Far East—including Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore—the company has consistently delivered unforgettable experiences. Specifically, the fleet consists of the majestic twin clipper ships, Star Clipper and Star Flyer (170 guests each), and the incredible Royal Clippers (227 guests). Moreover, Star Clippers has planned to add to its fleet with the Flying Clipper, the world’s largest authentic sailing ship, welcoming 300 passengers.
Star Clippers’ itineraries are created with wind-charts, allowing us to move by the power of wind 70-90% of the time; we have been awarded the world’s GREENEST cruise line for many years.
