Star Clippers is now taking bookings for all sailings through March 2025 aboard its three tall sailing ships. Sailing destinations newly opened for booking include the 2024 westbound Atlantic crossings, Panama Canal transits and the entire winter seasons in the Caribbean and Central America.
Back by popular demand, Star Clipper will commence her second full season sailing out of Costa Rica in December 2024, with itineraries that call on Panama and Nicaragua. Royal Clipper will return to her homeport in Bridgetown, Barbados, where she will sail the Windward and Grenadine Islands, and Star Flyer will once again offer Leeward and Treasure Island sailings out of St. Maarten.
There's nothing quite like crossing the ocean on a cruise ship and Star Clippers offers that opportunity onboard a true sailing ship. The 2024 westbound Atlantic crossings - which the line says are some of its most sought-after itineraries -- are now open for booking on all three ships.
Royal Clipper will depart Lisbon for the 16-day journey to Bridgetown on October 17, 2024; Star Flyer will depart Las Palmas on her 15-day sailing to St. Maarten on November 15, 2024; and Star Clipper will sail from Las Palmas on November 29 on a 15-day trip that takes guests to Bridgetown before she makes her way to Costa Rica.

Travellers can also traverse the Panama Canal on one of three sailings aboard a clipper ship reminiscent of some of the first vessels to sail through the canal. Royal Clipper is offering two back-to-back Panama Canal transits on November 2 and 16, 2024, and Star Clipper will transit the famed canal on a Christmas sailing departing Barbados on December 14, 2024.
For more than 25 years, Star Clippers has been introducing travelers to modern tall-ship sailing. The company operates three of the world's largest and tallest sailing vessels: Star Clipper and Star Flyer are traditional clipper ships with modern amenities carrying 166 guests each, while the 227-guest Royal Clipper holds the Guinness World Record as the largest and only five-masted, fully-rigged sailing ship in service today.
All three ships have expansive teak decks, swimming pools, informal dining, tropical bars on deck, and piano lounges.
