Home > Cruise Companies > Star Clippers > Flying Clipper

The Flying Clipper is the new sailing vessel of the Star Clippers cruise line, boasting the largest sailing vessels the ocean has ever seen. After a long hiatus in the production of new ships, the cruise company announced the launch of a new five-mast barque * called the Flying Clipper. This vessel exceeded the available three in size and broke all records with its scale.

Year of construction - 2018

Displacement - 8 770 tons.

Capacity - 300 people

Length - 162 m.

Width - 19 m.

Crew - 140 people.

Speed - up to 20 knots

Despite the fact that the main purpose of the vessel is sailing, it is still equipped with standard engines in case of unforeseen situations. However, their presence will not in any way affect the whole romance of travel on a ship from old pirate films.

Cruises will operate all over the world. Since the sailboat belongs to the ice class, passengers can additionally enjoy the landscapes of Antarctica and the Arctic.

* Barque is a large sailing vessel with sails on all masts, except for the stern (mizzen-mast).

Wait a few seconds...

The Flying Clipper is equipped with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. Guests can relax in the spa complex, try all the delights of Thai massage, visit beauty salons and even a library to take a break from the hustle and bustle. A well-equipped gym with qualified trainers will help you to tidy up your body after a hearty lunch in one of the cozy establishments of the sailboat, or simply not to go astray on vacation.

The main range of entertainment includes water sports:

diving

water skiing

kayaking

sailing on a small sailboat, etc.

All this will be possible for passengers during parking or drifting. To enter the open sea, guests will use a special lowered platform at the stern of the ship. From there you can go down and just swim in the salt waters.

If you prefer to swim only in an enclosed safe space, there are three pools to choose from. One of them will occupy two whole decks and be 6 meters deep. The second is designed with a transparent bottom made of durable glass through which sunlight will penetrate into the central room of the vessel.

Families with children will be able to attend themed events and parties during their holidays. However, they are mainly organized during the summer holidays when there are more young passengers on board.

The main restaurant on the Flying Clipper will be a very spacious establishment stretching over two decks. Unfortunately, the service for booking seats in it is not available, so you will have to take a table just before eating.

Breakfast and lunch are served buffet style. For dinner, an order is made to the waiter. The menu is very diverse, so even people with special needs (dietary, vegetarian) will be able to find a suitable dish.

On the ship you can also visit the Tropical Bar, which is responsible for large-scale barbecue parties. All drinks, incl. tea and coffee are publicly available for guests, so room service is not available.
