Imagine travelling around the Caribbean, the Mediterranean or the Far East on a luxury tall sailing ship...a truly memorable honeymoon! Star Clippers can offer just such an experience! Travelling on one of the three tall ships, Star Clipper, Star Flyer – or the newest (and the world's largest square rigger according to the Guiness Book of Records) Royal Clipper. The ships have all the luxury of modern cruise ships but also all the spirit of romance and adventure of the legendary era of sailing ships.
Take a voyage along the Tyrrhenian coast on the world's largest sailing ship and you'll travel back in time, says Brian Jackman... Ahead of us, out of the heat haze, an island appears. It is Ponza, a blue iceberg melting in a millpond sea. There is not a breath of wind. The flag at our masthead is hanging as limp as a butcher's pheasant. The temperature is in the high 30°Cs and rising, and I am standing on the Burmese-teak deck of the Royal Clipper, the world's largest square-rigged sailing ship.
Dinner suit or wetsuit? Across the Channel or the seven seas? Whatever your holiday plans, David Wickers has the perfect ocean adventure... Has cruising become cool? Has a century of dressing for cocktails, dining with the captain and seducing an heiress, of diamonds chokers, old school cufflinks, cold buffets and sozzled buffers ("I've made this crossing 37 times, you know,") really made way for a hip new generation of aquatic travellers?
