MIAMI (Feb. 27, 2013) -- Star Clippers is introducing a series of culinary-themed voyages aboard its three tall ships -- Royal Clipper, Star Clipper and Star Flyer -- for summer 2013 featuring some of Europe's top gourmet chefs and sommeliers. 

During select sailings from May 5 to Oct. 26, 2013, guests will have the opportunity to take part in complimentary cooking demonstrations, wine tastings and culinary lectures. Each theme will reflect the region in which the ship is sailing. While in the Mediterranean guests can learn about cooking with lemons, capers and olives, and those sailing in the Baltic region can learn how to prepare German tapas or a traditional Swedish smörgåsbord. 

Guest departing on Star Flyer’s Feb. 24, 2013, Costa Rica cruise will have an opportunity to take part in a special yoga program that is exclusively featured on this sailing.

Under the direction of yoga expert Melanie Camp, the program will highlight two complimentary daily yoga sessions out on deck under thousands of square feet of billowing sails — the ultimate relaxing environment for the body and soul, enhanced by the fresh sea air.

MIAMI (May 2, 2012) — Tall ship cruise line Star Clippers just released its Fall 2012 through Spring 2013 brochure highlighting its Caribbean and Costa Rica seasons, as well as two Panama Canal transits, for Royal Clipper, Star Clipper and Star Flyer. In addition to the itineraries, the 44-page brochure is filled with stunning photos, detailed maps, port descriptions and Costa Rica land tour options.

Since 1991 Star Clippers Ltd. has offered sophisticated travelers the ultimate cruising vacation alternative – a tall ship “mega-yacht” experience aboard authentic re-creations of the classic sailing clipper ships that ruled the waves during the 19th century.

The brainchild of Swedish entrepreneur, Mikael Krafft, Star Clippers operates three of the largest barquentine and full-rigged sailing ships in the world. Star Clipper, Star Flyer and flagship, Royal Clipper are a triumvirate of four and five-masted sailing ships that offer the activities, amenities and atmosphere of a private yacht at a price which is often less than one would pay on a large, mass-marketed cruise ship. With Star Clippers, Mikael Krafft has realized his lifelong dream to provide a unique sailing experience for his passengers in full harmony with the environment, the sea and often away from ports congested with tourists.

When owner and President Mikael Krafft founded Star Clippers in 1989, he fulfilled his lifelong dream of reviving the golden age of tall ships for new generations of travellers and adventurers to enjoy.

Born in Stockholm, Sweden, Krafft grew up around the corner from one of the finest yacht builders in the world, the Plyms Shipyard. As a child he would ride over on his bicycle and spend a lot of his free time learning about mixing varnish and stain, the construction of wooden ships, and the history of sailing.
