The Star Clippers Sailing Experience
On all three ships, the onboard experience is central to the journey. Revisit the romance of sailing aboard true clipper ships where teak decks, billowing sails and relaxed open-air spaces replace the scale and formality of conventional cruising. Days may include watching the crew raise the sails, climbing the mast under supervision, relaxing on the bowsprit netting, enjoying complimentary water sports where offered, or simply taking in the changing coastline from the deck.
