Symphony of Winds and Seas aboard the Star Flyer by Star Clippers
A symbol of elegance and freedom, the Star Flyer revives the golden age of sailing while offering the comfort of a modern yacht. Launched in 1991, this 111-meter, four-masted ship welcomes 170 guests in an intimate and authentic atmosphere. Its crew of 85 keeps maritime tradition alive with passion, while the Star Flyer promises a romantic and sensory voyage, guided by the whisper of the wind toward the horizon.
The spirit of the seas: living with grace aboard
Private havens between sky and sea
The cabins of the Star Flyer stand out for their timeless charm, where varnished wood, golden portholes, and marine fabrics create an ambiance both luminous and soothing. Each cabin, mostly outward-facing, offers between 11 and 14 m² of space with a marble bathroom, premium bedding, minibar, and refined nautical touches. In these peaceful and intimate havens, guests fall asleep to the gentle rhythm of the waves, far removed from the noise of the world.
Shared moments and timeless elegance
The common areas of the Star Flyer evoke the intimate spirit of the grand yachts of the past: a cozy piano bar, a teak-paneled library, and a lounge filled with soft natural light. Here, every encounter becomes a precious memory, reading beneath the portholes, sharing conversations over cocktails, or listening to music carried by the breeze. The atmosphere remains warm and discreet, true to the genuine and welcoming spirit of Star Clippers.
Light and serenity on deck
The vast teak decks of the Star Flyer offer a truly spectacular panorama of the sea. Two shimmering pools glisten beneath the towering sails, and adventurous guests can climb the rigging or help hoist the canvas, reliving the thrill of sailing like the great explorers. Each sunrise becomes a magnificent spectacle: the sea glows, the ropes sing softly, and the wind gracefully guides the ship toward new and inspiring horizons.
The delights of wind and sea aboard the Star Flyer
The taste of the sea and elegance
The main restaurant of the Star Flyer celebrates international gastronomy in a relaxed and luminous ambiance. The chefs serve menus inspired by each itinerary: grilled fish, shellfish, Mediterranean vegetables, exotic desserts, and French pastries. Emphasis is placed on freshness, creativity, and harmony; meals unfold without strict schedules, encouraging a true feeling of freedom and refined authenticity at sea.
Journeys of flavors and emotions
Each voyage aboard the Star Flyer is also a genuine culinary exploration. In the Mediterranean, guests savor Cretan olive oil and Italian cheeses; in the Caribbean, tropical fruits and gentle spices enhance every dish. The chefs adapt their creations according to each stopover, transforming every meal into a beautiful sensory journey. This intimate connection between navigation and flavor makes every itinerary vivid, personal, and unforgettable.
The scented nights of the sea
Under the stars, the Star Flyer reveals all its nocturnal magic. The Tropical Bar becomes the vibrant heart of the ship: guests enjoy a cocktail to the rhythm of live musicians, while the soft sway and marine breeze create a captivating and elegant atmosphere. Occasionally, a moonlit barbecue or a dance beneath the sails completes the experience, reminding everyone that conviviality is also a timeless art of gracious living at sea.
Secret horizons and maritime emotions
Stories of ports and shores
The itineraries of the Star Flyer lead travelers to intimate destinations filled with charm, heritage, and history: the Dalmatian coast, the Cyclades, Sicily, St. Barts, and Antigua. Thanks to its slender silhouette and shallow draft, it reaches secluded anchorages often inaccessible to large cruise ships. These stopovers reveal another way of traveling, at the rhythm of the sea, between culture, authenticity, and beautifully preserved landscapes. Each journey becomes a serene and meaningful discovery.
Relaxation and renewal on the waves
The Star Flyer offers a truly unique experience where relaxation harmonizes with the energy of the wind. Guests enjoy open-air massages, yoga sessions on deck, or moments of peaceful contemplation rocked by the gentle motion of the sea. The silence aboard, broken only by the whisper of the sails, becomes a profound and soothing therapy. It is a simple yet rare luxury, the gift of time rediscovered and a body fully in tune with the ocean.
Evenings of grace and silence
When night envelops the Star Flyer, the sailing ship glows softly, gliding across the sea like a waking dream. Evenings onboard are imbued with elegance and tranquility: sailor songs, conversations under the stars, and the captain’s captivating stories. At times, the ocean mirrors the soft gleam of hanging lanterns, creating a spectacle of almost ethereal beauty. It is this quiet poetry that turns every night at sea into a deeply unforgettable memory.
Routes of light and journeys of horizon aboard the Star Flyer
Routes of wind and sun
The Star Flyer follows the natural routes of the great winds, linking the Mediterranean in summer, the Atlantic in autumn, and the Caribbean in winter. Each crossing reveals breathtaking and diverse panoramas: golden cliffs, picturesque harbors, and turquoise lagoons. The transatlantic voyages, legendary moments of the Star Clippers fleet, are reserved for true lovers of the open sea, those who gaze endlessly, beneath the majestic breath of the sails.
Colors, cultures, and discoveries
The stopovers of the Star Flyer are genuine gateways to the world: Greek markets, Provençal villages, cocoa plantations, or small colonial ports of the Caribbean. Excursions emphasize connection and curiosity, guided tours, dives in protected reefs, local tastings, or inspiring photo walks. Between discreet luxury and authenticity, every single day becomes a sensory and cultural immersion filled with wonder.
Moments suspended between sky and sea
At dawn or sunset, the Star Flyer offers suspended and unforgettable moments that leave a lasting impression on travelers. The sun’s reflections on the sea, the gentle lapping against the hull, and the whisper of the sails compose a timeless and poetic melody. These moments of pure beauty invite quiet contemplation, reminding that on a luxury sailing ship like this, travel is not merely a destination, it is a graceful art of living.
