ADVENTURES SHORTER SAILINGS BIG
Discover the magic of our mini cruises, designed for both firsttimers eager to dip their toes into the water and seasoned seafarers seeking a thrilling escapade. These shorter cruises typically last a few days, providing the perfect opportunity to experience life aboard an authentic tall ship.
Picture sailing the pristine waters of the Mediterranean, surrounded by the timeless elegance of a bygone maritime era. Our 2025 mini cruise itineraries promise a glimpse into the essence of what Star Clippers represents; combining history, culture, and the thrill of adventure all in one.
Holidays can be extended with either a pre or post-cruise stay, transforming adventures into a longer getaway. Immerse in the charm of coastal destinations, indulge in local cuisine and explore the hidden gems that await beyond the ship’s deck. Create lasting memories by combining the excitement of the high seas with the relaxation of an extended stay.
Set sail from Cannes, the city famed for its international film festival and home to upmarket boutiques and palatial hotels. Call in at Monaco, described as a playground for tourists and a haven for the wealthy. Packed into a two-square-kilometre area, which is the second smallest independent state in the world, find everything from world-class hotels, luxury shopping, Michelin-star restaurants, and a marina with eye-catching boats and yachts to gaze at.
Alternatively, we offer several shorter sailings from Civitavecchia, the port of Rome. Perhaps select a sailing that calls in at the stunning port of Sorrento. Perched atop cliffs that separate the historic town from the marina overlooking the Bay of Naples, Sorrento is known for its wonderful water views, café-lined square, and delicious Limoncello. Or choose to cruise into the port of Bonifacio in Corsica where the marina is overlooked by the town’s medieval bastion, making an impressive arrival into port. This welcoming town has a maze of streets and alleyways to explore. Incredible 360-degree views of Corsica and the neighbouring island of Sardinia can be seen from the 9th-century citadel.
These sailings are an invitation to experience the world’s most beautiful destinations from a unique vantage point, where each moment is an adventure waiting to be savoured.
