About Star Clipper Cruises
Star Clippers Cruises are where the traditions of the past are combined with the modern comforts to create a cruise of casual elegance. The atmosphere onboard is relaxed and sociable. There are no strict schedules on Star Clippers Cruises. You can do as you like with your days and evenings.
Polished brass fittings and mahogany bright work demonstrate nautical heritage. Prints of famous clipper ships and sailing yachts are presented on the walls. All but six of the 98 cabins on Royal Clipper are outside and are perfectly arranged for peaceful nights.
If you are a keen sailor, you can volunteer to help hoisting the sails, you can climb the mast, or you can just relax and let the friendly crew get on with the work.
The Captain gives everyone an informative daily briefing on deck and provides some great storytelling. Crab racing contests have evolved from Star Clippers' sailing heritage and these are thoroughly enjoyed by passengers. It is this laid-back informality that Star Clippers' passengers enjoy the most.
Take a dip in one of the refreshing pools, or wind down with a cool drink in the piano bar. Expand your mind with history and culture on shore excursions in the fascinating ports of call. Learn how to splice a line, reef a sail or tie a square knot. On a beach day, you can swim, windsurf, water-ski or ride a banana boat.
On Royal Clipper, a distinctive marina platform lowers to sea level, giving you on the spot access to water sport activities. You will be taken to secluded reefs, underwater wrecks and blue lagoons where you will find plenty of marine species. Each and every expedition aboard Star Clippers will be that little bit different from the others.
You can sample an international menu with dishes from far and wide. When you wake up, help yourself to a continental breakfast or enjoy a full breakfast with fresh tropical fruits made to order in the dining room. At lunch, a spectacular buffet of seafood, salads and grilled meats is laid out for you. You might even get to experience a succulent barbecue on shore.
When it comes to the evening, the chef's finest dishes are served in the stylish dining room, accompanied by a selection of similarly fine wines. Service is as polite and courteous as you would find in a fine dining restaurant. On all three ships, you are free to dine when you wish and with whomever you wish and the dress code is casual every night.
Friends gather around the piano bar and join in with singing a few favourite songs. In the Tropical Bar, the bartender shakes up pitchers of fabulous cocktails. At certain ports, local performers are brought on board to give guests an authentic taste of local culture. Unlike the Broadway or Vegas-style shows aboard other cruise ships, on Star Clipper you can socialise with other shipmates while a live band plays tropical tunes from a real paradise.
