Highlights of this cruise:

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.

Hydra, Greece
Hydra is a town of stately mansions all built around 1800 by blockade runners who had made fortunes outwitting the British during the Napoleonic Wars. As there are no cars, for the spectacular view from the Monastery of Ilias you'll have to ride a donkey to the top.

Bodrum, Turkey
Bodrum is a coastal town in Turkey's Aegean region, renowned for its unique blend of culture, history and natural beauty. Once known as Halicarnassus, home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, its ruins are only partially visible today. Nevertheless, they offer a fascinating insight into the history of the region.

Alexandria, Egypt
The second largest city in Egypt, Alexandria, known as The Pearl of the Mediterranean, has an atmosphere that is more Mediterranean than Middle Eastern. Its ambience and cultural heritage distance it from the rest of the country although it is actually only 225 km. from Cairo. Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, Alexandria became the capital of Graeco-Roman Egypt.

Suez Canal Transit
Going through the Suez Canal is an incredible journey that connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea, creating a direct route between Europe and Asia. The canal is one of the world’s most significant and busiest maritime passages, cutting down travel time by avoiding the lengthy trip around Africa’s Cape of Good Hope. As ships move through the canal, they pass between vast stretches of desert, flanked by sandy banks and occasional palm trees, with a unique, almost surreal landscape. For many mariners, it's both a breathtaking experience and a reminder of how this engineering marvel transformed global trade.

Safaga, Egypt
Safaga and Soma Bay, located near Hurghada on Egypt's Red Sea coast, are renowned for their pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters. These destinations are popular for diving and snorkeling, offering vibrant coral reefs and abundant marine life. Safaga is also known for its therapeutic properties, with mineral-rich black sands and natural hot springs, while Soma Bay features luxurious resorts, world-class golf courses, and a variety of water sports.

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.
