Star Clippers fleet is comprised of true sailing vessels that sail solely under wind power whenever possible. Children love watching the sails go up and down, while older kids and adults enjoy the onboard lectures and classes. Family members of all ages will love the adventurous and active experiences offered, like hiking, kayaking, snorkeling and scuba diving. At night, the whole family can gather for “sail away,” a truly photo-worthy experience.

 

Kids will be fascinated to learn Star Clippers operates three of the world’s largest and tallest sailing vessels, with the 227-guest Royal Clipper holding the Guinness World Record for being the largest and only five-masted, full-rigged sailing ship in service today.

All ships boast expansive teak decks, swimming pools, informal dining, tropical bars on deck and piano lounges.

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Gets a New Rollercoaster

Myrtle Beach already has plenty of ways to entertain families, from 60 miles of beaches to the Carolina Opry and absolutely everything in between. But one spot families love to visit, Family Kingdom, is about to get a brand-new attraction, and we hope it will be unveiled before the kiddos head back to school.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
