The first thing you will notice with Star Clippers is the pure beauty of the ships! Honestly, it took my breath away. Just look.
Now imagine being on one of these ships in iconic destinations. Perhaps the Mediterranean, the Galapagos Islands or a trans-Atlantic crossing.

Who are Star Clippers?
Star Clippers was born from the vision of Mikael Krafft who wanted to recreate the Golden Age of Sailing. He built three replica sailing vessels equipped with modern comforts. The BEST part. These small vessels can explore hidden harbours and secret coves large cruise ships are incapable of accessing.
If I have to pick one thing that I LOVE the most about this unique adventure it would be that the ships move under wind power 70-90% of the time. Not only is this an eco-friendly way to travel, but just imagine slicing silently through the water with over 40 white sails above you. It is just magical. When not under sail Star Clipper and Star Flyer use very pure, high-quality low sulphur gas oil for which the company was awarded the International Air Pollution Prevention Certificate. Star Flyer was the first ship in the world to receive this accolade.
