a hand hoisting the sails, you can climb the mast, or
you can just lay back and let the crew do all the work
Inspired
by the legendary Tall Ship, Preussen, the new Royal
Clipper has the proud distinction of being the largest
and only five-masted sailing 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. She boasts state-of-the-art navigation
systems and all the comforts of today.
For
connoisseurs of sail cruising, the 439 foot 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 yachts. Royal Clipper carries just
227 guests in luxurious style.
A
full 18,940 square feet 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.
Climb
the mast (with safety harness provided) to one of the
passenger look-out 'crow's-nests', thoughtfully furnished
with comfortable settee, 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, where
you'll enjoy deliciously prepared cuisine and a no-tie
dress code.
A
convenient marina platform lowers from the stern for
water sports and diving. The ultimate unique Royal Clipper
experience, the one-of-a-kind Captain Nemo Lounge, is
the site of our spa and health club, which features
underwater glass portholes!
Presenting
a new dimension to cruising - the mega yacht experience
of Star Clippers
Combine
the thrill and excitement of sailing on an authentic,
majestic tall ship with all the amenities and comforts
of a luxury cruise liner. Our ambition is to provide
an exciting alternative to mass market cruising, while
at the same time being in full harmony with the environment, the sea, the wind, the land and away from ports
congested with tourists. Imagine gliding silently through
the open seas under full sail, discovering out-of-the-way
ports that few tourists can even get to. Anchor off
a private secluded beach for an afternoon of sunbathing.
You'll never feel confined. In fact, you'll find these
ships offer more outdoor space per passenger than most
conventional cruise ships. Snorkeling, SCUBA diving,
banana boating, waterskiing, windsurfing are all part
of the warm-water, small harbour package we are able
to offer. Star Clippers offers this and more. Our newest
addition to the fleet, the Royal Clipper with 56,000
square feet of sail is truly a sight to behold. All
of our ships are outfitted with state-of-the-art navigation
systems and every comfort and luxury that once could
wish for. Star Clippers creates a truly intimate setting,
and a marvelous sailing experience that often costs
less than one might pay for an average cabin on a typical
tourist cruise ship.
The
informal elegance of Star Clippers
True
clipper ships reflect their proud heritage in every
inch; from polished brass to teak decks. Soft natural
fabrics adorn the interior and pictures of famous sailing
ships grace the walls. Beds are large doubles or twins,
some of which can convert to doubles. The bathrooms
are simply stunning, with marble accents galore. Other
amenities include: a private safe, television with in-house
video, hair dryers, and direct dial telephones. Like
a fine resort, all the amenities for your room are prepared
and waiting. Everything is immaculately maintained and
your steward knows exactly when to appear or disappear.
Traveling aboard Star Clippers is blissfully relaxing
and gives you the feeling that you are sailing on a
private yacht. Our ships also feature a welcoming indoor/outdoor
Tropical Bar and their very own Piano Bar. Local entertainers
and artists are brought on board as the ship sails from
port to port. For your reading pleasure, each vessel
has an Edwardian style library, complete with a warm
glowing fireplace. The easy-going informality of Star
Clippers' voyages is what passengers enjoy the most.
The friendliness and enthusiasm of officers and crew,
with their dedication to making guests content, is evident
throughout. Our goal is to make your voyage not only
an exhilarating experience but also a real sailing adventure.
Inspired
chefs make dining aboard a delightful culinary adventure
As
a guest on one of our clipper ships, you will be treated
to an array of culinary delights. Our inspired chefs
go all out to ensure that your palate is richly satisfied
with a choice of local and international foods, comparable
to any fine restaurant. If the day includes a stop at
one of the secluded islands we frequent, you might be
treated to an outdoor barbecue, complete with all of
the trimmings. On all three ships, you are free to dine
when, and with whomever you wish, including Officers,
who join us in the dining room, whenever they can. You'll
find our service to be friendly and gracious, befitting
a top quality restaurant and complemented by equally
fine wines. The dress code? Casual elegance is the order
of the day and every single night.
