7-night Ligurian Sea Cruise
They are the stars of the sea. Star Clipper and Star Flyer are as fleet as the wind and as graceful as swans. These are true clipper ships reflecting their proud heritage in every inch of their polished brass and gleaming brightwork. Step aboard these unique vessels and discover a new age of sail, where the traditions of the past are happily married to the comforts and amenities of the present day. Star Clipper and Star Flyer are modern cruise ships in every way, created for luxury-loving passengers who also love the traditions and romance of the legendary era of sailing ships. Star Clipper and Star Flyer are both 360 feet long and each carries just 170 guests in pampered comfort. Life aboard is blissfully relaxed, much like traveling on a private yacht. You’ll never feel confined on Star Clipper or Star Flyer. Each ship offer spacious accommodations and expansive teak decks with ample space and not one, but two swimming pools. In fact, you’ll find that these ships offer more outdoor space per passenger than most conventional cruise ships. The décor of Star Clipper and Star Flyer is reminiscent of the grand age of sail. Antique prints and paintings of famous sailing ships please the eye, while teak and gleaming mahogany rails are richly reminiscent of Star Clippers’ proud nautical heritage.

Itinerary
| Destination | Arrival | Departure |
|---|---|---|
| Cannes | Saturday, Jun 08, 2024 | Saturday, Jun 08, 2024 |
| One visit to this sun-kissed stretch of the French Riviera is enough to explain why stars of the silver screen chose Cannes to host the world's most important film festival. The palm-fringed coastal boulevard hugs the curve of the beach, and is lined with luxury hotels and casinos. With Aérospatiale and Sophia-Antipolis, the leading European technical park, the future is being built here and experienced daily. Thanks to the International Film Festival, which each year attracts stars from all round the world, Cannes is the best known French town after Paris. Prestige and international expertise function together to meet business and leisure travel requirements which represent the major economic activity in Cannes. In the heart of this site of great natural beauty stands the 'Palais des Festivals' Congress Centre, equipped with all ultra-modern facilities, which has enabled Cannes to become one of the world's most important conference towns in the world. | ||
| Lerici | Sunday, Jun 09, 2024 | Sunday, Jun 09, 2024 |
Lerici is a picturesque resort town along the Italian Riviera. The cliffs of the city are terraced and planted with vineyards and gardens, and the waterfront buildings are conveniently clustered around the harbor. The main square is Piazza Garibaldi and one can ascend to the Castello San Giorgio by foot. Visitors can also stroll the promenade, or enjoy a number of good trattorias, cafes and restaurants either on the seafront itself, or on the streets and alleys nearby. | ||
| Portoferraio, Elba | Monday, Jun 10, 2024 | Monday, Jun 10, 2024 |
| Portoferraio, with its lemon-yellow buildings, is among the most elegant of the old Mediterranean ports. Beyond the town lies an island of great natural beauty. The hills are covered with pine forests and the scent of wildflowers fills the air; discover the island's medieval and Napoleonic history on a countryside tour. | ||

| Bonifacio | Tuesday, Jun 11, 2024 | Tuesday, Jun 11, 2024 |
| Corsica's picturesque southernmost town Bonifacio gazes across the blue Mediterranean to Sardinia. In its narrow cobbled alleys lingers a strangely medieval mood and the ancient stone houses of the fortress-like, once much-besieged community cling to one of the island's most striking sites - a towering promontory of sheer limestone rock jutting out improbably into the sea 200ft below. Founded about AD 828 as a defence against pirates, the town was taken from Pisa at the end of the 12th century by the Genoese and remained under the influence of Genoa until modern times. | ||
| Alghero | Wednesday, Jun 12, 2024 | Wednesday, Jun 12, 2024 |
| Alghero is the tourist capital of the so-called Coral Riviera. Its Spanish heritage is reflected in many buildings, including the church of San Francesco and the towers and bastions remaining from Spanish fortifications. With its 22 impressive columns, the Church is an outstanding example of Catalan-Gothic architecture. Grottoes and caves attract the adventurous visitor; fishing boats and pleasure craft crowd the colorful harbor; and the crystalline sea is ideal for coral and lobster fishing. Old Town is the site of seven defensive towers that dominate the walls surrounding Alghero. One of the most prominent is Porta Terra, known also as Jewish Tower. At Via Umberto stands Alghero’s 16th-century cathedral. One of the finest examples of Alghero’s Catalan-Gothic architecture is Palazzo d’Albi on Piazza Civica. Nearby stands the elegantly austere palace Palaua Reial. Two-story massive stone towers of Nuraghe Palmavera are characteristic of the island’s numerous prehistoric settlements. | ||

| Corsica (Ajaccio) | Thursday, Jun 13, 2024 | Thursday, Jun 13, 2024 |
| On the French island of Corsica, Ajaccio is famous as the birthplace of Napoleon. Visit the Bonaparte family home and the 16th century church where he was baptized. Or, take a tour into the wild and rugged outback countryside they call the maquis. | ||
| Monaco | Friday, Jun 14, 2024 | Friday, Jun 14, 2024 |
| Monaco, an ancient principality steeped in a rich and colorful history, is considered by many to be Europe's most fascinating country. Though the Principality covers but one square mile, it stands as a proud monarchy with his Serene Highness Prince Rainier III as its head of state. Today people visit Monaco and its glittering district Monte-Carlo not simply to vacation, not just to test their standing with lady luck, nor merely to see and be seen, but to revel in the memorable life-enhancing experience that is Monaco. | ||

Submit Your Own Review!Sailing experience was wonderful. Very helpful crew. Ability to go to small islands that traditional cruise ships can not go.
Pros: Sailing experience was wonderful. Very helpful crew. Ability to go to small islands that traditional cruise ships can not go.
Cons: Coffee could be better. Rooms could use new mattresses and update TV system.
Review: Great experience overall and would definitely do again. Opportunities to be involved with sailing, climb to the crows nest and ride in the bowstring. Snorkel gear, paddle board, water skiing, laser sail boat and kayak all available at no extra cost. Very different from traditional cruising, not the typical party atmosphere.
The ship is clean, well-managed, the food is great and plenteous, and the shore excursions were fun and worthwhile.
Pros: The ship is clean, well-managed, the food is great and plenteous, and the shore excursions were fun and worthwhile.
Cons: The process for signing up for the shore excursions was a mess. Instead of having all the passengers trying to sign up at the same time in the small library the process should permit on-line signup at ones leisure any time after the final excursions are announced.
