Friends gather around the piano bar and join in singing a few favorites. In the Tropical Bar, the bartender shakes a pitcherful of some delicious cooling concoction. Now, is there
anything more relaxing than this?

Clearly, this is not a cruise ship in the ordinary sense. On Star Clippers, you will find that there are no rigid schedules. You are free to do as you wish with your days and evenings.

To entertain you at certain ports, we bring local performers on board to give passengers an authentic taste of the local music and arts. So, rather than enduring another Broadway revue, you can enjoy the conviviality of fellow shipmates while a live band plays tropical tunes from a real paradise.

The Captain and crew are superb improvisers of the kind of light-hearted fun you’ll only find on Star Clippers. The Captain’s daily briefing on deck is wonderfully informative, as well as a chance to hear some great storytelling. There are other events and activities, such as their hilarious crab racing contests, that have evolved from Star Clippers’ sailing
heritage. In fact, passengers tell us that it’s the easy-going informality that makes a cruise with Star Clippers so enjoyable.

A day at the beach?
If it’s a beach day, you can swim, windsurf, water-ski, sail a Sunfish or explore in a Zodiac. The sports staff will be happy to offer assistance, should you require it.

We’ll take you to remote reefs, underwater wrecks and blue lagoons where marine
species are in abundance. You can be confident that your environmentally friendly sailing ship will leave the world’s pristine places as clean and unpolluted as when it arrived.

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 marvellous buffet of seafood, salads and grilled favorites awaits your pleasure. If the day includes a stop at one of the paradisical islands we frequent, you might also be treated to a succulent outdoor barbecue on shore or on deck.

When evening comes, our 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 our service to be friendly and gracious, as befits a tasteful restaurant. Of course, we would not presume to dictate your seating preferences.

You are free to dine when and with whomever you wish – including the ship’s officers, who join our guests in the dining room most nights.

The dress code? Although this is a clothing-optional cruise clothing is required in the
dining room where breakfast lunch and dinner is served however some days when weather permits we are able to have clothing-optional lunches on deck.
