Star Clippers Cannes Cruise Reviews

The Royal Clipper is like no other cruise ship—you sail on her for the experience of being on the world’s largest active sailing ship. Where you go is almost incidental. It is like a very large, traditionally outfitted yacht. Lots of brass and wood, and quite elegant. We were on the Cannes-Lisbon cruise. It was our second cruise on the RC (there are many repeat customers—over half on our cruise ...

We are experienced cruisers in our late 60's and decided to try something different.

On arrival the restaurant had no idea of our request and could only offer frozen ...

My Experience on the Star Flyer I’m surprised by the tenor of the reviews here. We just returned from a 7-day cruise on the Star Flyer, where we had a wonderful time.

There is no casino, exercise room or spa, and the maximum number of passengers on board is only ...
