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.

 

Caribbean sailings are available to book through spring 2026. Rates start at $1,875 or $2,320 per person based on single occupancy.

What is a Salvaged Stay and How to Plan One

Salvaged stays are an emerging trend in travel that let family travelers enjoy a unique way to experience a destination. Rather than staying in a destination’s big-ticket resort hotel or a cookie-cutter vacation rental, travelers look to the world’s repurposed properties, like abandoned mills and defunct train stations-turned-hotels that have found new life. These renovated properties are a lesson in sustainability and give families a chance to discover a unique view of the history of a destination.
