About Star Clipper
Star Clipper is the second of Star Clippers' two four-masted barquentines, a near twin of Star Flyer completed by the same Belgian yard, Scheepswerven van Langerbrugge, in April 1992. She is about 112 metres long, measures 2,298 gross tons and carries about 166 passengers and a crew of 74 under 16 sails. Life aboard is informal: there are no formal nights, dining is open seating, and guests may help raise the sails or, weather permitting, climb to the first crow's nest, while the captain gives a morning talk on deck. Her current schedule includes winter cruises along the Pacific coasts of Costa Rica and Panama with Panama Canal transits, short Caribbean runs, Atlantic crossings, and summers in Italy based at Rome.
