Star Flyer carries a maximum of 166 passengers. As one of Star Clippers’ three clipper ships in its fleet, Star Flyer offers a small ship experience without compromising amenities. Lounge on its expansive teak decks, featuring two pools. Check out the bow spirit net at the front of the ship and lay suspended over the water, watching marine life below. Star Clippers also offers complimentary water sports activities.

 

An added benefit of a small-ship cruising, Star Clippers’ ships port at more remote and secluded spots, allowing passengers to enjoy an off-the-beaten-path experience.
