Embark on a captivating Italian adventure, starting in Rome with its historic grandeur before exploring the serene hilltop town of Assisi and the medieval charm of Perugia. Wander through Siena’s UNESCO-listed streets and relax in a Tuscan villa, where you’ll learn to prepare a classic Italian lunch. In Florence, marvel at Renaissance masterpieces like the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio, and visit the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa. Soak up the glamour of the Ligurian Riviera with stops at Camogli and Portofino, then journey to the Langhe region for wine tastings and a truffle hunt in Alba. Cruise the tranquil waters of Lake Maggiore, exploring the ornate gardens and picturesque harbors of the Borromean Islands, before visiting the opulent shores of Lake Como. End your tour in Venice, the romantic floating city, before setting sail on a cruise to kayak the stunning coastline of Dubrovnik, admire the Lady of the Rocks Church in Kotor Bay, and glide through Venice’s lagoon by gondola.


Your ship: Royal Clipper

Inspired by the tall ship Preussen, the Royal Clipper has the proud distinction of being the largest and only five-masted full-rigged sailing ship built since her predecessor was launched at the beginning of the last century. With her complement of 42 sails, Royal Clipper is a splendid sight to behold.

Boasting state-of-the-art navigation systems and every comfort and luxury one could wish for. For connoisseurs of sail cruising, the 439 foot Royal Clipper offers the ultimate sea-going experience, balancing the grandeur, adventure and tradition of sailing with the superb service, amenities and accommodations of the finest modern yacht. Royal Clipper carries just 227 guests in luxurious style. A full 19,000 square feet of open deck and three swimming pools create a wonderfully spacious and expansive outdoor environment.

Find your secret hideaway on one of the hidden balconies on either side of the bow. Or climb the mast (with safety harness provided) to one of the passenger lookout crows-nests, thoughtfully furnished with a comfortable settee, where you’ll have the grandest view of all!

Royal Clipper’s interior spaces are just as dazzling. They include a three-deck atrium that funnels sunlight into the elegantly appointed, three-level dining room featuring open-seating dining, deliciously prepared cuisine and a no-tie dress code.

A convenient marina platform lowers from the stern for watersports. And the ultimate unique Royal Clipper experience, the one-of-a-kind Captain Nemo Lounge, is the site of our spa and health club with underwater glass portholes!

An authentic taste of the local music and arts

To entertain you at certain ports, we invite local performers, folk groups or musicians to liven up your evenings on board and our crew members are always ready to entertain you with games and nautical activities.

The Captain and crew

The Captain and crew are superb improvisers of the kind of light-hearted fun you’ll only find on Star Clippers. The Captain’s daily briefing on deck is wonderfully informative and a chance to hear some great story-telling as well.

Easy-going informality

Enjoy many activities on the outdoor decks, free water sports, yoga classes and various entertainment. In fact, our passengers tell us that it’s the easy-going informality of Star Clippers that makes a cruise with us so enjoyable and like no other.
