9 & 15 days London to London [FB]

Star Clippers offer the discovery of a new age of sail, where the traditions of the past are happily married to the comforts and amenities of the present. On these unique vessels you will voyage into the mysteries and marvels of a far-eastern land little known to the western world, whilst enjoying a relaxed informal atmosphere, friendly crew, and international cuisine, all in pampered comfort. If you are a boating enthusiast, you can choose to lend a hand hoisting the sails and climb the mast, or you can just lie back and let the crew do all the work. Visit a hidden corner of the Orient that adventurous travellers treasure for its unspoiled beaches and dreamlike natural beauty. Many of the scores of islands dotting the Andaman Sea are designated national parks, unspoiled and unexplored, where the clarity of the water and the variety of coral and marine life are amazing - a paradise for diving and snorkelling.

Depending upon conditions Star Clippers are able to offer five dives per trip, allowing you to discover remote reefs, underwater wrecks and blue lagoons where marine species are in abundance and you can be confident that your environmentally friendly sailing ship will leave the world's pristine places as clean and unpolluted as when it arrived.

After exploring the pristine beauty of the Andaman Sea, select sailings continue along the western coast of Malaysia to Malacca, known as the "City of Dreams" and also the oldest city in Malaysia, before reaching cosmopolitan Singapore.

Two 7-night cruises may be combined for a 14-night cruise
