Royal Clipper

Discover a new age of sail, where the traditions of the past are combined with the modern comforts and amenities of the present. The Star Clippers Tall Ships are perfect for cruising in casual elegance.  Itineraries range from the Mediterranean to the exotic Far East and the Caribbean.

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. 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. 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.

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. On board you will enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, friendly crew, and international cuisine, all in pampered comfort.

When you rise, help yourself to a continental breakfast with Parisian croissants, toasted English muffins or sweet Danish pastries, or savor a full breakfast with fresh tropical fruits and crisp bacon, grilled sausage, smoked salmon and omelettes cooked to order in the dining room. At lunch, a buffet of seafood, salads and grilled favorites awaits your pleasure. You might also be treated to a succulent outdoor barbecue on shore.

When evening comes, the elegantly appointed dining room becomes the setting for the chef’s finest culinary presentations, designed to please the eye and the palate, complimented by a selection of equally fine wines. You’ll find the service to be friendly and gracious, as befits a tasteful restaurant. On all three ships, you are free to dine when and with whomever you wish, including the officers, who join the 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.
