Description

Bigger isn’t always better. Luxury and modernism are a new aspect of sea navigation, but they often neglect the true sense of sailing and take us away from the sea, the wind, the thrill of the waves. Yet, opportunities that give us all of this still exist; one of these is definitely Star Flyer.
Sailing ship from 1991, that of Star Clippers is a unit with 4 masts and 16 sails. It can accommodate up to 160 passengers, served by 74 crew members. Only 2298 tons, but enough to contain everything necessary for a great sailing adventure, among the most beautiful destinations in the world.

Schatzinseln mit Star Flyer

I liked

I didn't like

Comment

Ich habe dieses Segelerlebnis sehr genossen. Es gibt einige unbequeme Aspekte, aber es ist auf jeden Fall eine Kreuzfahrt zu versuchen. Die Karibik ist mit Sicherheit das ideale Gebiet für diesen Schiffstyp. Guter Service und viel Freundlichkeit in der Crew.

Meine erste Erfahrung auf einem Segelschiff. Die Hütte und einige Zimmer sind nicht sehr komfortabel, aber es hat sich gelohnt.

Transatlantic on the Star Flyer

I liked

Comment

The lifetime cruise if you haven't seasickness problems. Small spaces make an intimate atmosphere. Good food, so many days at sea that help you relax and find yourself. Try it!

Into a Dream

I liked

Sailing experience

I didn't like

Small staterooms and few entertainment

Comment

Gorgeuos. You have to try once in a lifetime. The silence around you, sailing the blue Mediterranean and then in the open Ocean. Of course it's a small vessel so no much space in the staterooms and in the lounge. But really an experience I'll always remember.

Crociera di Natale

I liked

Fascino unico e itinerario ottimo

I didn't like

Mancano alcuni comfort

Comment

Esperienza positiva, crociera veramente indimenticabile. Naturalmente il piccolo veliero offre servizi limitati ma ha il vantaggio di offrire grandi emozioni. Una crociera da provare nella vita.

Per gli amanti della vela

I liked

Fascino unico per godere della navigazione a vela

I didn't like

Occorre adattamento a spazi piccoli per i crocieristi moderni

Comment

Anche solo da una visita si percepisce come Star Flyer sia la nave ideale per provare l'ebbrezza della navigazione a vela in un ambiente confortevole e a misura d'uomo. Esperienza da provare.
