Star Clippers operates three of the world’s largest and tallest sailing vessels. Visiting ports often untouched by larger cruise ships and offering passengers the activities, amenities and atmosphere of a private yacht, Star Clippers is recognized as one of the premier specialty cruise lines. Now, exploring the Mediterranean on a tall ship just became a more affordable vacation option with Star Clippers’ offer of free air from select cities* and 25 percent savings on five Mediterranean sailings aboard Royal Clipper and Star Clipper in 2012.
The seven-night April and May departures provide an in-depth exploration of Italy on Royal Clipper and Greece and Turkey on Star Clipper.
Royal Clipper’s April 28, May 5 and May 12, 2012, Sicily and Amalfi cruise sails round-trip Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy, and calls at Ponza, Sorrento, Capri, Amalfi, Taormina and Lipari – all in Italy. Evening scenic cruising past the still-active Stromboli volcano is a highlight of the voyage.
Star Clipper sails two Greek Isles and Turkey itineraries in May, both seven-night, round-trip Athens, Greece. The May 5 departure calls at Camlimani and Kusadsi Turkey, and Patmos, Amorgos, Mykonos and Monemvasia, Greece. The May 12 sailing calls at Rhodes, Santorini and Hydra, Greece, and Bodrum and Dalyan River, Turkey.
Cruise fares for Royal Clipper’s Civitavecchia sailings begin at $2,780 and fares for Star Clipper’s Athens voyages begin at $2,774, both per person, double occupancy, including the free air and 25 percent off the brochure rates. These fares also include port charges and government air tax/surcharges.
* Free air available from Atlanta, Ga.; Baltimore, Md.; Boston, Mass.; Chicago, Ill.; Dallas and Houston, Texas; Denver, Colo.; Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco, Calif.; Miami and Tampa, Fla.; Minneapolis, Minn.; New York; Newark, N.J.; Philadelphia, Penn.; Phoenix, Ariz., and Washington, D.C.
