Star Clippers is taking bookings on sailings through November 2025. The company’s fleet of three tall ships sail year-round, with itineraries in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Central America—as well as Atlantic crossings.
Guests booking select 2025 sailings by year’s end will receive 10 percent off the cruise fare, an onboard credit of $100 per person, and a bottle of champagne in their cabin.
Meanwhile, past guests receive an additional 3 percent discount. This offer is valid for residents of North, Central, and South America.
After its inaugural season in Central America, Star Clipper will spend the 2024/2025 winter season sailing the coastlines of Costa Rica and Panama. These itineraries take guests to tranquil beaches on idyllic Isla Tortuga, Costa Rica and stops such as Isla San Jose in the Pearl Islands. Nature lovers will enjoy the port town of Quepos, Costa Rica, located near Manuel Antonio National Park (which features monkeys, sloths, and nearly 450 species of birds).
For guests looking to experience Venice aboard a tall ship, Star Flyer will offer a pair of 11-day sailings between Venice and Rome in Summer 2025. For those looking to combine a shorter sailing with a land tour, Royal Clipper offers a variety of four- to six-night itineraries in the Western Mediterranean.
Also in 2025, Star Flyer will take over the Grand Prix sailings, with two itineraries: the May 17 sailing round trip out of Cannes puts guests in Monaco for the Grand Prix trials on May 23, and the May 24 sailing between Cannes and Rome will be in Monaco for the Grand Prix finals on May 25. Those looking to book back-to-back sailings to take in both events can save 5 percent off the second sailing.
The company’s Grand Voyage itineraries are created to allow guests to experience an extended journey through the Eastern and Western Mediterranean and are available on all three of the clipper ships.
These nine- to 20-night sailings have no more than three days at sea during any trip, allowing more time for exploring the small towns and UNESCO heritage sites, sampling the local cuisine, and getting a glimpse of life as a local.
