Excursions

The smaller size of these ships mean they can sail to some of the smaller, less travelled ports, offering a more specialised itinerary than the large cruise liners. There are also plenty of opportunities to see the great sights of the world such as the Parthenon and the Acropolis in Greece, the Blue Mosque in Istanbul or take an overnight trip on the Orient Express.

In Italy, you can tour the historic cities of Rome and Civitavecchia or experience a night at the opera in Verona. Likewise indulge in the party atmospheres of the cities of Monaco and Barcelona. Stimulate the senses with the tastes and smells of bustling spice markets in Marrakech and Tangier, or sample wine tastings along the Amalfi Coast.

Star Clippers is happy to tailor-make an itinerary of excursions based on the destinations visited and you personal tastes.
