The spirit of the open sea and comfort aboard
Havens of light and calm
The cabins of the Star Clipper are designed as elegant cocoons where the sea is present at every moment. Varnished wood, polished brass, and light fabrics recall the classic elegance of the yachts of old. The exterior cabins offer refined comfort: convertible beds, marble bathrooms, clever storage, and natural light. In the most spacious suites, a separate lounge area and nautical-style details create an atmosphere of absolute serenity.
Lounges and shared elegance
At the heart of the Star Clipper, social life unfolds in a cozy and friendly ambiance. The grand lounge, adorned with fine wood and marine touches, hosts conversations to the sound of the piano, while the Tropical Bar opens onto the horizon. Between light and shadow, guests share a drink, a smile, a suspended moment. These spaces reflect human warmth and the refined simplicity of life under sail.
Open horizons and suspended moments
On the vast decks of the Star Clipper, time seems to stand still. Two swimming pools shimmer under the sun, deckchairs invite contemplation, and the nets stretched above the sea offer an incomparable view of the waves. The wind fills the sails, the salty air brushes the skin, and the sky merges with the ocean. Here, the sea is not a backdrop, it is a silent companion, a source of peace and freedom.
Flavors of the world and pleasures aboard the Star Clipper
Tables of elegance and scents of escape

Each meal perfectly reflects the spirit of travel at sea, elegant, free, and beautifully open to the world.
