Bookings are now open for Star Clippers’ fall and winter 2026-27 season.

The cruise line is offering more than 50 departures from October through late March, with its fleet of three tall clipper ships taking travelers to destinations in the Caribbean, Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia. 

Transatlantic crossings and holiday sailings are also available. In October 2026, Royal Clipper will depart Lisbon and sail west across the Atlantic to Bridgetown in 16 days. Star Flyer, meanwhile, will depart Las Palmas for St. Maarten in November 2026. And Star Clipper will sail from Las Palmas to Bridgetown in November 2026. 

The 227-guest Royal Clipper will take passengers through the Panama Canal on two, 14-night departures in October and November 2026. The ship will spend the rest of the season visiting destinations in Antigua, Barbados, St. Kitts and beyond.

Star Clipper will spend the first half of the season sailing in Costa Rica and Panama. Then, starting in February 2027, the ship will explore the Grenadines, as well as Antigua, Martinique, St. Lucia, Tobago and Barbados.

Star Flyer will offer two different seven-night itineraries from St. Maarten, visiting destinations in the Leeward Islands and the Treasure Islands.

Guests who want to celebrate the holidays at sea can choose from multiple Star Clippers sailings, including Christmas in St. Barts aboard Star Flyer and New Year’s Eve in the Grenadines aboard Royal Clipper.
