Gather Your Crew: Star Clippers Group Sailings

Star Clippers offers sailing vacations for families and friends. Their fleet of modern, tall clipper ships can accommodate groups of all sizes and interests. Itineraries include family-friendly Costa Rica, the warm waters of the Caribbean, and bucket list destinations across the Eastern and Western Mediterranean.

From the joy of discovering a new port together to the excitement of helping hoist the sails, there are plenty of reasons a Star Clippers sailing is ideal for groups, including:

Making Lifelong Memories: Any getaway can be memorable, but sailing with Star Clippers is unforgettable. The feeling of moving to your next destination under the power of the wind, the pleasure found in relaxed afternoons spent lounging in the bowsprit netting, and the incredible nightly sunsets over the water all create opportunities to bond, connect and make lasting memories.

Choose Your Destination: Star Clippers calls on dozens of ports across the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, from Turkey and Greece to Italy and France, as well as islands across the Caribbean and ports in Central America—allowing families and friends to discover (or rediscover) these places together. By visiting smaller ports, lesser-known islands, and spots mega cruise liners can’t reach, Star Clippers enables guests to explore off-the-beaten-path locations, unspoiled beaches, and towns free from the tourist crush.

Easy Planning: Star Clippers offers the convenience of flexibility for group trip planning, making coordinating a trip with family and friends as easy as possible. With everything from dining options to onboard activities to shore excursions organized for groups, it’s easy to ensure everyone is well taken care of…and that your time is spent enjoying every minute of your vacation rather than planning the next day’s activities.

Play Apart, Dine Together: By day, your group can choose to cheer each other on as they climb to the crow’s nest, explore the shoreline from a kayak or paddleboard, and take part in excursions—but they can also relax onboard, soak up some sun poolside, get a massage or hang out in the topside Tropical Bar before coming together at mealtime to share the day’s stories. All meals are included onboard Star Clippers and open seating in our dining room means groups can dine together at a time that’s convenient, enjoying an a la carte menu that changes nightly.

Save with Group Offers: Groups sailing with Star Clippers have several offers to choose from: discounted group fares, complimentary massages, and onboard credits they can apply to beverages, shore excursions, and more. With offers available for groups as small as 10 guests (in five or more cabins), Star Clippers can make a small or large group trip affordable. Amenities including discounted group fares, onboard credits, massage credits, cabin upgrades and other options add value to group travel. The offer is valid for residents of North, Central, and South America only.

For more than 25 years, Star Clippers has been introducing travelers to the thrill of modern tall-ship sailing to remote ports in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Central America. The company operates three of the world’s largest and tallest sailing vessels: Star Clipper and Star Flyer are traditional clipper ships with modern amenities carrying 166 guests each, while the 227-guest Royal Clipper holds the Guinness World Record as the largest and only five-masted, fully-rigged sailing ship in service today. All three ships have expansive teak decks, swimming pools informal dining, convivial tropical bars on deck, and piano lounges.
