Passengers cruising aboard the twin reproduction clipper ships Star Flyer and Star Clipper enjoy the best of two worlds—the romance of the age of sail and the comforts, amenities, and technology of a 20th-century yacht.

These ships occupy a unique niche in the cruise world. Guests are treated to a genuine sailing experience on ships specifically designed for warm water vacationing. Because of the ship's small size, its casual on-board ambiance, and the invitation to pitch in steering and hoisting sails, a special camaraderie invariably develops as guests mingle on the spacious teak decks.

Star Flyer and Star Clipper were launched in the early 1990s by internationally recognized yachts-man Mikael Krafft, a Norwegian-born businessman with a passion for sailing.

He brought the beauty and grace of the historic "greyhounds of the sea" to the modern cruise experience.
