The Star Clipper fleet offers 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're 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 one of the most alluring destinations on earth, with beauty, romance and a sense of adventure on every horizon. Sailing is in the blood of the inhabitants of French Polynesia and Star Flyer is the first modern day tall ship to be based year-round in the region, voyaging to the legendary Society Islands and the remote Tuomotus, the home of Polynesian cultural traditions. Star Flyer offers an intensely rewarding experience as she glides through the pristine and lovely archipelago - leaving no sign of her passage.

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.
