New for 2016!Tall ship sailing specialist Star Clippers will operate a winter season

in Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore from December 2016 to April

2017. This marks the line’s return to the region for the first time

since March 2010.

The 170-passenger Star Clipper will end its summer season in the

Mediterranean and sail via the Suez Canal and Sri Lanka to its winter

home port of Phuket, where it will operate seven-night round trip

cruises on two different routes from 2nd December 2016, as well as

some voyages to Singapore.

There are two itineraries, northbound and southbound, as well as

seven departures that either begin or end in Singapore. Star Clipper

The world’s most spectacular Tall Ships…Star Clippers operates three of the world’s largest

and tallest sailing vessels. Visiting intimate ports

often untouched by larger cruise ships and offering

passengers the activities, amenities and atmosphere of

a private yacht, Star Clippers is recognised as one of the

premier speciality cruise lines.

Passengers can enjoy the romance of sailing on board

a true tall ship in a relaxed atmosphere with high

standards of service provided by an attentive crew.

All three ships have expansive teak decks, swimming

pools, informal dining, a convivial Tropical Bar and a

comfortable piano bar.

The gentle lapping of waves against a wind driven hull.

A pod of dolphins playing in the curling bow wave.

A salute to a propitious marriage, the wedding of a

splendid cruise holiday with the romance of sailing

These graceful ships fly along the waves, just like

the legendary clippers of a century and a half ago.

And this is as much an adventure in highly evolved

relaxation as it is in tradition. For though computers

have not replaced the skilled hands of the crew in the

art of raising sails, guests are not expected to become

barefoot seamen. Relax and let the crew do the work.

Now come aboard Star Clipper, Star Flyer or Royal

Clipper, the largest true full rigged sailing ship in the

world today. As thousands of square feet of sail unfurl

above, you will feel the elation of those mariners of

long ago.

Unique FeaturesWater Sports

A number of different water-related activities are

complimentary on board, such as wind surfing, water

skiing, kayaking and snorkelling*.

Get Involved

Passengers can get involved with sailing the ship, climbing

the crows nest and pulling the ropes.

Delightful Cuisine

Our inspired chefs make dining aboard a delightful culinary

adventure with an international menu of foods from all

corners of the Earth.

Unrivalled Service

On board, guests will experience a 2:1 guest to crew ratio.

Extensive Range of Destinations

Including the Caribbean, Cuba, the Mediterranean, Ocean

Crossings, Panama Canal & Asia.

Intimate Experience

Royal Clipper, the largest and only five-masted full-rigged

sailing ship carries just 227 guests. Sister ships Star Clipper
