Highlights of this cruise:

Istanbul, Turkey
Throughout thousands of years Istanbul's geographical position has maintained its importance. Today it is a huge metropolis connecting continents, cultures and religions and is home to eleven million people and one of the greatest business and cultural centres of the region.

Dikili, Turkey
Dikili is a quiet little town, with a harbour lined with restaurants and shops. It is an ideal starting point for exploring the site of Pergamon, with its acropolis perched 280 metres high and its Asclepion.

Ouranoupoli, Greece
Ouranoupoli is a tranquil Greek village located at the gateway to Mount Athos on the Halkidiki peninsula. Known for its stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters, it offers a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea. Visitors can explore the Byzantine Tower of Ouranoupoli, stroll along charming streets, and enjoy fresh seafood at local tavernas, all while experiencing the area’s rich history and serene beauty.

Poros, Greece
Poros, sometimes called Kavalria, is very close to the Argolid peninsula. It is home to the Greek Naval Academy and visitors can hear the cadet band every morning. Above all, Paros is a gateway to the sanctuary of Asclepius, the Mecca of Greek medicine, and the theatre of Epidaurus, built to host the Asclepia (or Asclepian Games), a competition in honour of the physician god Asclepius. It served as a model for many other Greek theatres...

Athens (Piraeus), Greece
Walking in the shadow of the Acropolis in the Agora, you can almost hear the voices of Plato, Socrates and Aristotle arguing about who was the greatest philosopher. Ancient Athens, the birthplace of democracy and epicenter of western civilization, is a city for all eternity.

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 360 feet long and each carries just 170 guests in pampered comfort.

Life aboard is blissfully relaxed, much like traveling on a private yacht. You’ll never feel confined on Star Clipper or Star Flyer. Each ship offer 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 décor of Star Clipper and Star Flyer is reminiscent of the grand age of sail. Antique prints and paintings of famous sailing ships please the eye, while teak and gleaming mahogany rails are richly reminiscent 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.
