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

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 comfort and 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.

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.

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.
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 passengers who love the
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 watches 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.

Culinary Arts Our inspired chefs make dining aboard a delightful culinary adventure with an international menu of foods from the corners of the Earth. 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.
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 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

‘‘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. 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 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.
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.
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.

Themes & Special Offers Christmas Sailings Join us at Christmas time and enjoy a range of festive offers. For passengers wishing to book the Christmas sailing on Royal Clipper, Star Clipper or Star Flyer in 2013 or 2014, we are happy to offer the following: 600 euros on board credit per cabin for couples sharing, applicable to purchases in the bar, restaurant and Sloop shop. No Single Supplement for solo travellers in categories 2 to 6. 3rd person sails for free; only port charges payable for a passenger sharing with 2 others. These offers are capacity controlled, so book early to secure your place.
Star Chefs We are planning to invite a number of celebrity chefs, with wide ranging experience, on board selected sailings. 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 2014 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 teachers have 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. They have 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, Star Flyer 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. In 2015, a new 14 night sailing will be offered to the ABC Islands and Venezuela. 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. Star Flyer will operate a series of sailings from the vibrant island of Cuba to untouched islets and the Cayman Islands. 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 National Parks, 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

Panama Canal The Crossroads of the World. Often called the “Crossroads of the World”, the Panama Canal is the vital link between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. It is one of the few engineering wonders of the world and a must-see. Star Flyer makes her way between the Caribbean Islands of Barbados or Cuba and the Panama Canal opting for a full transcanal experience.
Along the way, our ship visits the San Blas Islands, strung along Panama’s dramatically beautiful Kuna Yala coast, Venezuela, the regions numerous Dutch speaking islands as well as the lesser known Colombian islands of San Andres and Providencia.

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 may 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.

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 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 a range of 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. Star Flyer’s itineraries from Monaco and Cannes explore Corsica, Sardinia and the French and Italian Rivieras. New for 2014, Star Flyer will also homeport in Palma, Mallorca for high Summer sailings in the Balearic islands and the Spanish coast. And finally, for true connoisseurs of spectacular sailing, our Grand Cruises aboard Royal Clipper, Star Flyer 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 much-loved transoceanic voyages.
