ROYAL CLIPPER,
STAR CLIPPER, and STAR FLYER
Royal Clipper cruise ship
This page presents three of Star Clippers' cruise sailing ships.  The ships are of recent build.  However, whenever weather conditions permit, the ships rely on their sails rather than their diesel engines for propulsion.  Star Clippers places less emphasis on scheduled activities than most lines and offers a relaxed environment.  Among other things,   passengers are able to climb to observation areas on the masts at the first yardarm.
