Star Clippers

Star Clippers is a privately owned cruise line founded in 1989 by Swedish entrepreneur Mikael Krafft and headquartered in Monte Carlo. The line operates three authentic tall ships: Star Clipper, Star Flyer, and the five-masted Royal Clipper - the largest sailing cruise ship in the world by sail area. Star Clippers offers a genuine sailing experience with sails hoisted by hand and guests encouraged to participate in the operation of the ships. The line sails the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Southeast Asia, attracting passengers who prefer the romance of sail to the mega-ship experience.
