Welcome to STAR CLIPPERS “I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by...” John Masefield - Sea Fever

The gentle lapping of the 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 aboard a true Tall Ship. It is this unique combination of sailing tradition and pampered relaxation that is the essence of Star Clippers. For within the setting of a magnificently evocative Tall Ship, is a world for those who seek an authentic sailing adventure without sacrificing creature comforts. Our 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 our crew in the art of raising sails, we don’t expect our guests 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, you’ll feel the elation of those mariners of long ago. Because this is Star Clippers, and the adventure has only just begun.

‘‘And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking, And a grey mist on the sea’s face and a grey dawn breaking...’’ John Masefield - Sea Fever

Officially recognised by Guinness World Records in 2001 as the World’s largest square rigger in service 8


Royal Clipper In 1902, the first full-rigged, five masted sailing ship, as well as the largest sailing ship the world had ever seen, was launched. The legendary Preussen dominated the seas, only to be gone in a few short years. Neither before nor since had the world seen such a magnificent sailing ship. Until today... For connoisseurs of sail cruising, the 134 metre Royal Clipper offers the ultimate sea-going experience, balancing the grandeur, adventure and tradition of sailing with the superb service, amenities and accommodations of the finest modern yacht. Royal Clipper carries just 227 guests in luxurious style. The Royal Clipper was officially recognised by Guinness World Records in 2001 as the World’s largest square rigger in service.

Inspired by the legendary Tall Ship, Preussen, Royal Clipper has the proud distinction of being the largest and only five-masted full ship built since her predecessor was launched at the beginning of the last century. With her complement of 42 sails, Royal Clipper is a splendid sight to behold. You might think she was an apparition from the grand age of sail, but Royal Clipper is as new as tomorrow, boasting state-of-the-art navigation systems and all the comfort of today.

9


A full 1760 square metres of open deck and three swimming pools create a wonderfully spacious and expansive outdoor environment. Find your secret hideaway on one of the hidden balconies on either side of the bow. Or climb the mast (with safety harness provided) to one of the passenger look out ‘crow’s-nests’, where you’ll have the grandest view of all! Royal Clipper’s interior spaces are just as dazzling.

They include a 3-deck atrium that funnels sunlight into the elegantly-appointed dining room, featuring deliciously prepared cuisine and a no-tie dress code. A convenient marina platform lowers from the stern for watersports. And the ultimate unique Royal Clipper experience, the one-of-a-kind Captain Nemo Lounge, is the site of our spa and health club, with underwater glass portholes.

‘‘And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea gulls crying...’’ John Masefield - Sea Fever

12


Star Clipper & Star Flyer They are the stars of the sea. Star Clipper and Star Flyer are as fleet as the wind and as graceful as swans.

These are true clipper ships reflecting their proud heritage in every inch of their polished brass and gleaming brightwork. Step aboard these unique vessels and discover a new age of sail, where the traditions of the past are happily married to the comforts and amenities of the present day. Star Clipper and Star Flyer are modern cruise ships in every way, created for luxury-loving passengers who

also love the traditions and romance of the legendary era of sailing ships. Star Clipper and Star Flyer are both 115 metres long and each carries just 170 guests in pampered comfort. Life aboard is blissfully relaxed, much like travelling on a private yacht. You’ll never feel confined on Star Clipper and Star Flyer.

13


Each ship offers spacious accommodations and expansive teak decks with ample space and not one, but two swimming pools. In fact, you’ll find that these ships offer more outdoor space per passenger than most conventional cruise ships. The decor of Star Clipper and Star Flyer is reminiscent of the grand age of sail. Antique prints and paintings of famous sailing ships please your eye, while teak and gleaming mahogany rails are richly remindful of Star Clippers’ proud nautical heritage.

All Star Clippers’ ships feature open-seating dining in an elegantly appointed dining room, our convivial indoor-outdoor Tropical Bar and Piano Bar, and an Edwardian style library where a Belle Époque fireplace glows with a warmth that reflects the friendliness and enthusiasm of Star Clippers’ hospitable officers and crew.

“I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied...� John Masefield - Sea Fever

16


Life on Board Up on the bowsprit, a couple watch the sun drop slowly into the sea as gulls circle one last time in the sky. Friends gather round the piano bar and join in singing a few favourites. And in the Tropical Bar, the bartender shakes a pitcher full of some delicious cooling concoction. Now, is there anything more relaxing than this? Clearly this is not a cruise ship in the ordinary sense. With Star Clippers, you will find that there are no rigid schedules. You are free to do as you wish with your days - and evenings. To entertain you at certain ports, we bring local performers on board to give passengers an authentic taste of the local music and arts. So rather than enduring another Broadway revue, you can enjoy the conviviality of fellow shipmates

while a live band plays tropical tunes from a real paradise. The Captain and crew are superb improvisers of the kind of light-hearted fun you’ll only find on Star Clippers. The Captain’s daily briefing on deck is wonderfully informative, and a chance to hear some great story-telling as well. And there are other events and activities, such as our hilarious crab racing contests, that have evolved from Star Clippers’ sailing heritage. In fact, our passengers tell us that it’s the easy-going informality of Star Clippers that makes a cruise with us so enjoyable.

17


Culinary Arts Our inspired chefs make dining aboard a delightful culinary adventure with an international menu of foods from the corners of the Earth. When you rise, help yourself to a continental breakfast with Parisian croissants, toasted English muffins or sweet Danish pastries. Or savour a full breakfast with fresh tropical fruit and crisp bacon, grilled sausage and omelettes cooked to order in the dining room. At lunch, a marvellous buffet of seafood, salads and grilled favourites awaits your pleasure. If the day includes a stop at one of the paradisical private islands we frequent, you might also be treated to a succulent outdoor barbecue on shore. When evening comes, our elegantly appointed dining room becomes the setting for the chef ’s finest culinary

presentations, designed to please the eye and the palate, complemented by a selection of equally fine wines. You’ll find our service to be friendly and gracious, befitting a tasteful restaurant. Of course, we would not presume to dictate your seating preferences. On all three ships, you are free to dine when and with whomever you wish - including with our officers, who join our guests in the dining room most nights. The dress code? No need for formal gowns and black tie, casual elegance is the order of the day and every single night.

‘‘I must down to the seas again to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife...” John Masefield - Sea Fever

19


‘‘And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over’’ John Masefield - Sea Fever

20


Rest Assured There’s nothing so easy and pleasurable as falling asleep to the gentle rhythms of the ship and sea unless it’s awakening refreshed the next morning to a new-born day. Everything is immaculately maintained and your steward knows exactly when to appear. On Royal Clipper, 14 Deluxe suites offer the ultimate in cruising comfort, with private verandah, whirlpool bath and 24-hour room service. All but six of her 98 cabins are outside, and for the ultimate indulgence, two 40 square metre owner’s suites may be combined to accommodate up to 8 guests. All in all, your Star Clippers cabin or suite is a perfectly arranged abode for daydreams and nights of blissful rest and relaxation.

Like a fine resort, all the amenities are here; double bed or twin beds that can be converted to queen, marble lined bathroom, private safe, television video system and DVD player, direct dial telephone, hair dryer and comfortable furnishings. The décor is tastefully traditional. You’ll find the accoutrements of a luxurious classic yacht, where everything is ingeniously designed for comfort, ease and efficiency. Burnished brass fittings and mahogany brightwork recall our nautical heritage. Soft natural fabrics reflect the colours of the sun, sea and sky. Prints of famous clipper ships and sailing yachts grace the walls.

21


Honeymoon & Special Occasions Lifetime celebrations with memories that live forever. Ready to celebrate? Whether it’s your honeymoon, a milestone birthday or anniversary, a family reunion, a special club or corporate gathering or other significant event, Star Clippers is the inspired choice. After all, what could be more romantic – or memorable - than sailing away on a magnificent tall ship to distant lands! Aboard Star Clippers, celebrations become extraordinary occasions, because we are dedicated to making each moment very special. Family reunions, clubs or special interest groups and corporate events are treated with the same care and attention to detail that you would expect from a fine hotel or resort. Be sure to reserve well ahead of your cruise, because you’ll find that we will provide some great ideas and original touches to make your

gathering even more rewarding. Whether it’s a cocktail party, a dinner or seminar on board or a special excursion on shore, Star Clippers can take care of your needs. Honeymooners can relax in perfect privacy. There’s a complimentary bottle of champagne, and an assortment of fresh fruit and sweet treats, offered to all honeymooners who have proof of their marriage within six months of their sailing date, as well as a special gift and a certificate signed by the Captain. If you are searching for the perfect way to begin your lives together, a Star Clippers honeymoon offers an idyllic combination of adventure and romance in a setting that inspires hearts.

Star Chefs We are planning to invite a number of celebrity chefs, with wide ranging experience, on board selected sailings during 2013. These skilled personalities will be pleased to give specialised lectures and themed cooking demonstrations on board. Call Star Clippers or your travel professional to find out more about these culinary sailings.

Yoga Sailings Over the last couple of years, Star Clippers has offered guests free daily yoga and meditation on selected Yoga-themed sailings and we are planning similar voyages for 2013 sailings. With spectacular settings as a background, yoga classes take place in the open air, on Star Clippers’ ships’ sun-warmed teak decks, under thousands of square feet of billowing sails – the ultimate relaxation for body and soul, enhanced by the fresh sea air. Qualified yoga teacher Christel Vollmer has been holding the daily sessions of Astanga yoga, also known as power yoga, on deck in the cool morning air, with a second session just before sunset, including meditation. Christel also delivered lectures on the philosophy of yoga and advice for practice at home. Call Star Clippers or your travel professional for details of these special departures.

Caribbean Their sails gleaming in the sun, Royal Clipper and Star Clipper thread their way between lush volcanic islands in a sea that can only be the Caribbean, because it is so incredibly blue. The world you’ve discovered is a wonderfully unique Caribbean Paradise. A cruise aboard Royal Clipper is the perfect platform from which to launch diving adventures in the Tobago Cays, where the reefs are a marvel of colourful marine creations. Royal Clipper sails from Barbados on alternating voyages to explore the Spice Islands of the Grenadines and the Windward Islands. The only difficulty is choosing in which direction to sail from St. Maarten, aboard Star Clipper, but either voyage offers memorable sailing in optimal conditions. Sail across the Anegada Passage and you’ll discover the Treasure Islands, so named because they include some of the most exclusive jewels in the Caribbean such as the

chic British Virgin Islands and St. Barts. Head southward on our Leeward Islands cruise and step ashore in Nevis. Rainforests, rushing rivers and a hundred waterfalls greet you in luxuriant Dominica, while in Guadeloupe, the island shaped like the twin wings of a butterfly, the steaming fumaroles and jungle clad slopes of Soufrière await hikers’ explorations in Parc National de la Guadeloupe. New for 2014: Star Flyer will operate a series of sailings from the vibrant island of Cuba. The Caribbean venues where our ships sail are famous for their glorious sailing weather, and every voyage promises the thrill of passage making under full sail.

Costa Rica & Central America Where nature abounds and adventure awaits

The Western Coast of Costa Rica is shaped like a giant crab, with two great claws, the Nicoya Peninsula in the North and the Osa Peninsula (with its pincer turned backward) in the South reaching out to the Pacific Ocean. Within this wide embrace lies a natural paradise so dazzling and diverse that it defies any adequate description. Ticans realized very early on that their country’s amazing natural beauty and diversity must be protected, and so the government reserved a full quarter of its landmass for national parks. With 9,000 higher plant species, 800 ferns, 850 bird species, hundreds of frogs and reptiles and 10% of all mammals on earth, there’s a lot to protect.

Everywhere in Costa Rica, strict conservation is universally observed.

“Where the wild things are” A pair of scarlet macaws breaks out of the treetops and soars over a beach where the only tracks are those of last night’s nesting turtles. You ride your horse over the sands to a small stream where blue butterflies play over brilliant pink flowers. Sounds of jungle and surf are strangely intermingled. This is where rain forest and beach meet in Costa Rica’s Corcovado National Park, the day-glo tropical version of “Where the Wild Things Are”.

32


‌ nature unbounded With the rugged spine of the volcanic cordilleras rising just a few kilometres inland from the Pacific Coast, dramatic climate changes in 11 distinct ecological zones can occur in a very short distance. The zones range from intertidal to the dry forests of the northern Guanacoste plain to the intermontane cloud forests to the dense rain soaked jungle wildernesses of the south, each with its own eco-system. The entire Pacific Coast is indented by gulfs, bays and inlets offering refuge and nesting places for marine, bird and land animal species in countless numbers. Today it is human visitors who

find welcome refuge. Surfers stream like lemmings to the sea to beaches that stretch forever. Nature lovers can soar through the jungle canopy on a wire, raft a rollicking or gentle river, hike through forests decked in giant ferns and clouds of orchids. Or just sit, stand, lie or look in any direction and watch nature perform around you. Star Flyer’s in-depth Costa Rican itineraries will give guests unparalleled access to both major and lesser-known national parks, some on remote islands and bays inaccessible to land-based tourists. We invite you to join us in a rare adventure of nature unbounded. 33

Ocean Crossings A white crested trail is laid across an azure sea. Amidst nature’s hush, you and your fellow adventurers are transported across the Atlantic to the spice and colour of the Caribbean. The realisation of your dream of crossing an Ocean in a majestic sailing ship; a voyage with Star Clippers. To cross the Ocean on a true tall masted sailing ship is a wonderful, memorable journey for all to enjoy. This is time for reflection and relaxation, to enjoy good food and fine wines, while experiencing the incomparable adventure and

excitement of crossing an Ocean from one continent to another. You will be able to experience the sights, sounds and sample the delicacies of many countries and cultures along the way. At many ports of call there are organised excursions for you to take part in. On certain journeys, enjoy special guest lectures on either, Maritime History, Ancient History or Marine Biology. We hope that you will take the opportunity to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and fun that an Ocean crossing can bring.

Baltic Sea Feel the enchantment of the North. The snap of a sail and the scent of the sea on a summer’s day when dusk falls at midnight.

Mediterranean to Byzantium and even Baghdad. Their longships were the fastest vessels on the water, and their Kings and captains, such as Harald Hardrada, Canut the Great, Eric the Red and Leif Ericsson, fearless. History has focused on the Vikings’ reputation for raiding and pillaging, but in reality they founded towns, built fortifications, made dynastically opportune marriages and created immensely profitable trade routes that linked them to important cities in Europe and Asia. After the introduction of Christianity, the Hanseatic League inherited or took over many of these settlements and routes and became even more all-powerful in the Baltic. Today Star Flyer will trace the Vikings’ extraordinary voyages, following the routes of those passionate explorers to storied lands and places. Along the way, Star Flyer will also participate with other magnificent tall ships in celebratory sailing parades in the German ports of Hamburg and Rostock (Warnemünde). And with great pride in our Swedish sailing heritage, we invite you to join Star Flyer’s Captain and crew in the thrilling experience of standing at the rail and passing by crowds of onlookers with all sails set and flags dipped in salute!

Archipelagos where brightly-painted holiday cottages cling limpet-like to rocky skerries. Richly saturated colours that seem to come from a Flemish master’s palette in landscapes that evoke medieval folklore and fairytales. The plaintive strains of Grieg and Sibelius played in a royal palace where kings and queens once listened and lived. These are the sights and textures of Northern Europe, a multi-hued and layered tapestry that reaches out to be touched, tasted and savoured in a thousand mind pictures. From Germany and the Low Countries to the Baltic lands of the Vikings and the Eastern Empire of the Tsars, Northern Europe is a territory of vast and vivid variety. Reaching into the heart of Northern Europe is the Baltic - Mare Suebicum in the Latin of ancient scribes. It was the Vikings who first braved the crossing of this brackish sea to venture from Denmark and Sweden eastward into the lands we now know as Finland, Russia, Estonia, and Poland, eventually finding their way to the Black Sea. Not content with just going east, they also sailed and rowed westward through the Straits of Denmark to Scotland, England, Ireland, Iceland, Greenland and Newfoundland. Southward they ranged as far as Spain and North Africa, and traversed the

Eastern Mediterranean Greek fishermen bring their catch to shore at the end of the day. Their craggy faces are etched by long days at sea, toiling under the same sun that rose and set for eons over their ancestors. On shore, a group of light-hearted Star Clippers’ travellers follow a twisting alleyway to a small taverna where the strums of the bouzouki and a glass of ouzo are the perfect accompaniments to the evening’s catch. Long ago, these Eastern Mediterranean islands and ports were the landing places for an endless tide of invaders from far off lands. From ancient Phoenicia, Persia, the Peloponnesus, Imperial Rome and Constantinople they came. Followed by waves of European Crusader knights, Genoan mariners, Venetian merchants and turbaned Turkish troops of the Ottoman Empire. They stormed ashore to conquer, only to be vanquished by time and absorbed into the dry volcanic earth. All that remains are their stone ruins, ghostly shapes wrapped in myth and mystery. Today the sun-spangled seas bordered by Greece,

Turkey, Italy, Croatia and the Dalmatian Coasts are inviting playgrounds for pleasure seekers. Join us as we explore a yachtsman’s paradise on forgotten islands where white-washed sands invite sun worshippers to bask under Helios’ gaze, or fortress-like rocks where ancient monasteries cling like mountain climbers on towering cliffs. Or stand where battling armies fought hand-to-hand in Troy and Gallipoli. Walk through iron doors of medieval Kastros where tales of pagan rites and knightly rituals are told. Inhale the balm of almond and lemon at the place where Hippocrates taught his healing arts. The Dodecanese, the Cyclades, the Sporades, the Dardanelles - islands and places that fairly sing on the tongue. And no one knows these favoured lands and seas as well as Star Clippers.

Western Mediterranean & Grand Europe Star Flyer’s Iberian itineraries will commence September 2013 sailing from Ostend to explore the charming Norman port of Honfleur, the Celtic origins of Brittany’s Brest and Spain’s Galician coasts, Lisbon’s seven hills, Cadiz and Seville, Tangier, Gibraltar and Malaga. In Malaga she’ll begin 7-night roundtrip cruises from the radiant beaches of the Costa del Sol to tantalizing Tangier and Casablanca - framed by Morocco’s soaring Atlas Mountains, Cadiz and orange-scented Seville, Gibraltar’s rocky grandeur, Motril and the Moorish glories of Granada. It’s the perfect time of year to enjoy Southern Spain and the shoulder of Africa - without the crowds. And finally, for true connoisseurs of spectacular sailing, our Grand Cruises aboard Royal Clipper and Star Clipper offer Mediterranean segments that range from Athens and Istanbul to Spain to Africa and the Canary Islands. These are a prelude or finale to our muchloved trans-oceanic voyages.

Natural beauty and 4,000 years of history converge in Italy, Sicily, France, Portugal, Spain and the islands of the Mediterranean. The taste of sweet green olive oil and fresh ripe tomatoes, the sound of carefree children laughing on sun drenched beaches, the sight of myriad yachts at anchor in picturesque harbours… These are but a few sights and scenes of the Western Mediterranean. Replete with sparkling capitals, ancient civilizations and cultured ambience, it is an incredibly vivid world of mythical lands and tranquil seas, soaring mountains, medieval villages, private coves and sun struck beaches. Wherever you may wander, you will discover the special magic of the Mediterranean that has enchanted travelers for millennia. On Royal Clipper, choose from 3, 4, 7, 10 and 11 night itineraries from Rome’s port of Civitavecchia and Venice, which include sun-drenched Sicily, stops throughout the volcano-dotted Aeolian Islands, routes along Italy’s ever-romantic Amalfi Coast and the alluring ports of the Croatian Archipelago and Dalmatian Coast.
