Star Flyer
Star Flyer
Under full sail, Star Flyer evokes the golden age of maritime adventure with all the comforts of a boutique cruise ship. Built in 1991, this four-masted barquentine hosts around 166–170 guests and combines teak decks, gleaming brass, and elegant interiors with a relaxed, yacht-style atmosphere. Whether you’re tracing Mediterranean shores or exploring tropical isles, Star Flyer blends timeless romance, gentle sea breezes and refined cruising into a seamless experience.
Star Clipper Highlights
Life on board Star Flyer feels refreshingly unhurried, where each day unfolds to the rhythm of the sea and the sound of sails above. Guests can stretch out on the open teak decks, cool off in one of the ship’s two pools, or join the crew for hands-on sailing demonstrations. Evenings are relaxed and sociable, with live music, cocktails under the stars and the friendly atmosphere of a true sailing community. Every voyage is about freedom, discovery and the simple pleasure of travelling under sail.

Cat 6 to Owner's Suite
Accommodation
Cabins aboard Star Flyer are designed with classic maritime style and contemporary comfort in mind. Most feature ocean views, twin beds that convert to a queen, marble-finished bathrooms, air conditioning, TV and DVD player, safe and hairdryer. The Deluxe Cabins offer additional space and convenient deck access, while the Owner’s Suite provides a touch of extra luxury - the perfect retreat after a day beneath the sails.

A Delightful Culinary Adventure
Dining
Dining on Star Flyer is elegant yet informal, with open seating that lets guests dine when and with whom they choose. Breakfast and lunch are generous buffet spreads, while dinner is a full-service affair featuring international cuisine and regional specialities inspired by each destination. With fine wines, friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere, every meal is a highlight of the day.

Relaxed & Sociable
Entertainment
Evenings on Star Flyer are as laid-back as life at sea should be. Guests gather in the Tropical Bar or Piano Lounge to enjoy live music, sunset cocktails and good conversation. The entertainment is low-key – think star-lit deck parties, sailing stories from the crew and impromptu singalongs – all adding to the sense of camaraderie that makes small-ship sailing so special.

Recharge, Relax, Revive
Health & Fitness
Whether you want to unwind or stay active, Star Flyer offers a range of ways to do both. Guests can take a dip in one of two swimming pools, enjoy a workout in the small fitness area or indulge in a soothing massage or beauty treatment. The atmosphere is relaxed and restorative - perfect for finding your sea legs and your inner calm.

Dive Into Discovery
Watersports
When the ship anchors in calm bays, guests can make the most of complimentary watersports such as snorkelling, kayaking, paddleboarding, windsurfing and sailing dinghies. These activities are organised from tenders or beach landings rather than a marina platform, offering an easy and enjoyable way to experience the sea up close and explore each destination from a different perspective.
