Culinary Delights

When you rise, help yourself to a continental breakfast with Parisian croissants, toasted English muffins or sweet Danish pastries.  Or savour a full breakfast with fresh tropical fruits and crisp bacon, grilled sausage, smoked salmon and omelettes cooked to order in the dining room.
At lunch, a marvellous buffet of seafood, salads and grilled favourites awaits your pleasure.  If the day includes a stop at one of the private islands we frequent, you might also be treated to a succulent outdoor barbecue on shore.  When evening comes, our elegantly appointed dining room becomes the setting for the chef’s finest culinary presentations, designed to please the eye and the palate, complemented by a selection of equally fine wines.  You will find our service to be friendly and gracious, befitting a tasteful restaurant.  Of course, we would not presume to dictate your seating preferences.  On all three ships, you are free to dine when and with whomever you wish – including with our officers, who join our guests in the dining room most nights.  The dress code? No need for formal gowns and black tie, casual elegance is the order of the day and every single night.

Life on Board

Friends gather round the piano bar and join in singing a few favourites.  And in the Tropical Bar, the bartender shakes a pitcherful of some delicious cooling concoction.  Now, is there anything more relaxing than this?  Clearly this is not a cruise ship in the ordinary sense.  On Star Clippers, you will find that there are no rigid schedules.  You are free to do as you wish with your days – and evenings.  To entertain you at certain ports, we bring local performers on board to give passengers an authentic taste of the local music and arts.  So rather than enduring another Broadway revue, you can enjoy the conviviality of fellow shipmates while a live band plays tropical tunes from a real Paradise.

The Captain and crew are superb improvisers of the kind of light-hearted fun you will 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.  And there are other events and activities, such as out hilarious crab racing contests, that have evolved from Star Clippers’ sailing heritage.  In fact, our passengers tell us that it’s the easy-going informality of Star Clippers that makes a cruise with us so enjoyable.

Rest Assured

Like a fine resort, all the amenities are here; double bed or twin beds that can be converted to queen, marble lined bathroom, private safe, television with in-house video, direct dial telephone, hair dryer and comfortable furnishings.  The decor is tastefully traditional.  You will find the accoutrements of a luxurious classic yacht, where everything is ingeniously designed for comfort, ease and efficiency.  Burnished brass fittings and mahogany brightwork recall our nautical heritage.  Soft natural fabrics reflect the colours of the sun, sea and sky.  Prints of famous clipper ships and sailing yachts grace the walls.  Everything is immaculately maintained and your steward knows exactly when to appear.
On Royal Clipper, 14 deluxe suites offer the ultimate in cruising comfort, with private verandah, whirlpool bath and 24-hour room service.  All but six of her 98 cabins are outside, and for the ultimate indulgence, two 33 square metre owner’s suites may be combined to accommodate up to eight guests.  All in all, your Star Clippers cabin or suite is a perfectly arranged abode for day dreams and nights of blissful rest and relaxation.
