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 around the piano bar and join in singing a few favourites; in the Tropical Bar, the bartender shakes a pitcher full of some delicious cooling concoction... now, is there anything more relaxing than this? On board you will enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, friendly crew, and international cuisine, all in pampered comfort. If you're a boating enthusiast, you can choose to lend a hand hoisting the sails, you can climb the mast, or you can just lay back and let the crew do all the work.
Clearly, this is not a cruise ship in the ordinary sense. On 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, local performers come 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, as well as a chance to hear some great storytelling. There are other events and activities, such as our hilarious crab racing contests, that have evolved from Star Clippers' sailing heritage. In fact, passengers say that its the easy-going informality of Star Clippers that makes a cruise with them so enjoyable.
Now... come aboard Star Clipper, Star Flyer or the flagship Royal Clipper: the largest fully rigged sailing ship in the world today. As thousands of feet of sail unfurl above you, you'll feel the elation of those mariners of long ago. This is Star Clippers and the adventure has just begun!
