Star Clippers is charting an exciting course for its 2027-2028 season by adding 27 new ports of call across the Mediterranean, marking its most extensive destination expansion in years. Known for providing an authentic tall-ship sailing experience, the award-winning cruise line utilizes its smaller vessel sizes and wind power to reach intimate, off-the-beaten-path harbors that large cruise ships cannot access. The expanded lineup introduces travelers to secluded Greek islands like Astypalea and Skiros, vibrant coastal stops in Turkey such as Çeşme and Datça, charming Adriatic gems including Korčula and Trogir, and historic Southern Italian destinations like Barletta and Monopoli, alongside continued sailings in the Caribbean and Central America.

To celebrate this major expansion, Star Clippers is offering travelers promotional savings of up to 65% on all sailings. Additionally, guests who book select departures by September 30, 2026, will receive up to $500 per cabin in onboard credit and a complimentary bottle of champagne. Featured itineraries like Eternal Cyclades, Authentic Greek Escape, and Italian Gems showcase these new destinations with lead-in fares starting from $2,500 per person.

Aboard the fleet’s magnificent vessels—Star Clipper, Star Flyer, and Royal Clipper—guests enjoy expansive teak decks, casual elegance, and open-seating dining. Passengers can actively participate in raising the sails, learn traditional seamanship skills, or relax in the bowsprit net suspended above the ocean. Combined with an eco-conscious philosophy that prioritizes wind-powered propulsion and meaningful engagement with local communities, Star Clippers delivers a timeless, immersive, and sustainable style of luxury travel.
