The gentle lapping of the waves against a wind-driven hull. A pod of Dolphins playing in the curling bow wave. A salute to a propitious marriage, the wedding of a splendid cruise holiday with the romance of sailing aboard a true Tall Ship. It is this unique combination of sailing tradition and pampered relaxation that is the essence of Star Clippers. For within the setting of a magnificently evocative Tall Ship, is a world for those who seek an authentic sailing adventure without sacrificing creature comforts. Our graceful ships fly along the waves, just like the legendary clippers of a century and a-half ago. And
this is as much an adventure in highly evolved relaxation as it is in tradition. For though computers have not replaced the skilled hands of our crew in the art of raising sails, we dont expect our guests to become barefoot seamen. Relax and let the crew do the work. Now, come aboard Star Clipper, Star Flyer or Royal Clipper, the largest true full-rigged sailing ship in the world today. As thousands of square feet of sail unfurl above you, youll feel the elation of those mariners of long ago. Because this is Star Clippers, and the adventure has only just begun.

And the wheels kick and the winds song and the white sails shaking, And a grey mist on the seas face and a grey dawn breaking...
Officially recognised by Guinness World Records in 2001 as the Worlds largest square rigger in service

Royal Clipper
In 1902, the first full-rigged, five masted sailing ship, as well as the largest sailing ship the world had ever seen, was launched. The legendary Preussen dominated the seas, only to be gone in a few short years. Neither before nor since had the world seen such a magnificent sailing ship. Until today...
For connoisseurs of sail cruising, the 134 metre Royal Clipper offers the ultimate sea-going experience, balancing the grandeur, adventure and tradition of sailing with the superb service, amenities and accommodations of the finest modern yacht. Royal Clipper carries just 227 guests in luxurious style. The Royal Clipper was officially recognised by Guinness World Records in 2001 as the Worlds largest square rigger in service.
Inspired by the legendary Tall Ship, Preussen, Royal Clipper has the proud distinction of being the largest and only five-masted full ship built since her predecessor was launched at the beginning of the last century. With her complement of 42 sails, Royal Clipper is a splendid sight to behold. You might think she was an apparition from the grand age of sail, but Royal Clipper is as new as tomorrow, boasting state-of-the-art navigation systems and all the comfort of today.
A full 1760 square metres of open deck and three swimming pools create a wonderfully spacious and expansive outdoor environment. Find your secret hideaway on one of the hidden balconies on either side of the bow. Or climb the mast (with safety harness provided) to one of the passenger look out crows-nests, where youll have the grandest view of all! Royal Clippers interior spaces are just as dazzling.
They include a 3-deck atrium that funnels sunlight into the elegantly-appointed dining room, featuring deliciously prepared cuisine and a no-tie dress code. A convenient marina platform lowers from the stern for watersports. And the ultimate unique Royal Clipper experience, the one-of-a-kind Captain Nemo Lounge, is the site of our spa and health club, with underwater glass portholes.

And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea gulls crying...

Star Clipper & Star Flyer

They are the stars of the sea. Star Clipper and Star Flyer are as fleet as the wind and as graceful as swans.
These are true clipper ships reflecting their proud heritage in every inch of their polished brass and gleaming brightwork. Step aboard these unique vessels and discover a new age of sail, where the traditions of the past are happily married to the comforts and amenities of the present day. Star Clipper and Star Flyer are modern cruise ships in every way, created for luxury-loving passengers who also love the traditions and romance of the legendary era of sailing ships. Star Clipper and Star Flyer are both 115 metres long and each carries just 170 guests in pampered comfort. Life aboard is blissfully relaxed, much like travelling on a private yacht. Youll never feel confined on Star Clipper and Star Flyer.
13
Each ship offers spacious accommodations and expansive teak decks with ample space and not one, but two swimming pools. In fact, youll find that these ships offer more outdoor space per passenger than most conventional cruise ships. The decor of Star Clipper and Star Flyer is reminiscent of the grand age of sail. Antique prints and paintings of famous sailing ships please your eye, while teak and gleaming mahogany rails are richly remindful of Star Clippers proud nautical heritage.
All Star Clippers ships feature open-seating dining in an elegantly appointed dining room, our convivial indoor-outdoor Tropical Bar and Piano Bar, and an Edwardian style library where a Belle poque fireplace glows with a warmth that reflects the friendliness and enthusiasm of Star Clippers hospitable officers and crew.

I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied...
16
Life on Board
Up on the bowsprit, a couple watch the sun drop slowly into the sea as gulls circle one last time in the sky.
Friends gather round the piano bar and join in singing a few favourites. And in the Tropical Bar, the bartender shakes a pitcher full of some delicious cooling concoction. Now, is there anything more relaxing than this? Clearly this is not a cruise ship in the ordinary sense. With Star Clippers, you will find that there are no rigid schedules. You are free to do as you wish with your days - and evenings. To entertain you at certain ports, we bring local performers on board to give passengers an authentic taste of the local music and arts. So rather than enduring another Broadway revue, you can enjoy the conviviality of fellow shipmates while a live band plays tropical tunes from a real paradise. The Captain and crew are superb improvisers of the kind of light-hearted fun youll only find on Star Clippers. The Captains daily briefing on deck is wonderfully informative, and a chance to hear some great story-telling as well. And there are other events and activities, such as our hilarious crab racing contests, that have evolved from Star Clippers sailing heritage. In fact, our passengers tell us that its the easy-going informality of Star Clippers that makes a cruise with us so enjoyable.
17
Culinary Arts
Our inspired chefs make dining aboard a delightful culinary adventure with an international menu of foods from the corners of the Earth.
When you rise, help yourself to a continental breakfast with Parisian croissants, toasted English muffins or sweet Danish pastries. Or savour a full breakfast with fresh tropical fruit and crisp bacon, grilled sausage and omelettes cooked to order in the dining room. At lunch, a marvellous buffet of seafood, salads and grilled favourites awaits your pleasure. If the day includes a stop at one of the paradisical private islands we frequent, you might also be treated to a succulent outdoor barbecue on shore. When evening comes, our elegantly appointed dining room becomes the setting for the chef s finest culinary presentations, designed to please the eye and the palate, complemented by a selection of equally fine wines. Youll find our service to be friendly and gracious, befitting a tasteful restaurant. Of course, we would not presume to dictate your seating preferences. On all three ships, you are free to dine when and with whomever you wish - including with our officers, who join our guests in the dining room most nights. The dress code? No need for formal gowns and black tie, casual elegance is the order of the day and every single night.

I must down to the seas again to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gulls way and the whales way where the winds like a whetted knife...

Rest Assured
Theres nothing so easy and pleasurable as falling asleep to the gentle rhythms of the ship and sea unless its awakening refreshed the next morning to a new-born day.
Like a fine resort, all the amenities are here; double bed or twin beds that can be converted to queen, marble lined bathroom, private safe, television video system and DVD player, direct dial telephone, hair dryer and comfortable furnishings. The dcor is tastefully traditional. Youll find the accoutrements of a luxurious classic yacht, where everything is ingeniously designed for comfort, ease and efficiency. Burnished brass fittings and mahogany brightwork recall our nautical heritage. Soft natural fabrics reflect the colours of the sun, sea and sky. Prints of famous clipper ships and sailing yachts grace the walls. Everything is immaculately maintained and your steward knows exactly when to appear. On Royal Clipper, 14 Deluxe suites offer the ultimate in cruising comfort, with private verandah, whirlpool bath and 24-hour room service. All but six of her 98 cabins are outside, and for the ultimate indulgence, two 40 square metre owners suites may be combined to accommodate up to 8 guests. All in all, your Star Clippers cabin or suite is a perfectly arranged abode for daydreams and nights of blissful rest and relaxation.
21
Honeymoon & Special Occasions

Lifetime celebrations with memories that live forever.
Ready to celebrate? Whether its your honeymoon, a milestone birthday or anniversary, a family reunion, a special club or corporate gathering or other significant event, Star Clippers is the inspired choice. After all, what could be more romantic or memorable - than sailing away on a magnificent tall ship to distant lands! Aboard Star Clippers, celebrations become extraordinary occasions, because we are dedicated to making each moment very special. Family reunions, clubs or special interest groups and corporate events are treated with the same care and attention to detail that you would expect from a fine hotel or resort. Be sure to reserve well ahead of your cruise, because youll find that we will provide some great ideas and original touches to make your gathering even more rewarding. Whether its a cocktail party, a dinner or seminar on board or a special excursion on shore, Star Clippers can take care of your needs. Honeymooners can relax in perfect privacy. Theres a complimentary bottle of champagne, and an assortment of fresh fruit and sweet treats, offered to all honeymooners who have proof of their marriage within six months of their sailing date, as well as a special gift and a certificate signed by the Captain. If you are searching for the perfect way to begin your lives together, a Star Clippers honeymoon offers an idyllic combination of adventure and romance in a setting that inspires hearts.

Caribbean
Their sails gleaming in the sun, Royal Clipper and Star Clipper thread their way between lush volcanic islands in a sea that can only be the Caribbean, because it is so incredibly blue.
The world youve discovered is a wonderfully unique Caribbean Paradise. A cruise aboard Royal Clipper is the perfect platform from which to launch diving adventures in the Tobago Cays, where the reefs are a marvel of colourful marine creations. Royal Clipper sails from Barbados on alternating voyages to explore the Spice Islands of the Grenadines, the Windward Islands and new for 2011, the chic British Virgin Islands. The only difficulty is choosing in which direction to sail from St. Maarten, aboard Star Clipper, but either voyage offers memorable sailing in optimal conditions. Sail across the Anegada Passage and youll discover the Treasure Islands, so named because they include some of the most exclusive (and expensive) jewels in the Caribbean. Head southward on our Leeward Islands cruise and step ashore in Nevis. Rainforests, rushing rivers and a hundred waterfalls greet you in luxuriant Dominica, while in Guadeloupe, the island shaped like the twin wings of a butterfly, the steaming fumaroles and jungle clad slopes of Soufrire await hikers explorations in Parc National de la Guadeloupe. The Caribbean venues where our ships sail are famous for their glorious sailing weather, and every voyage promises the thrill of passagemaking under full sail.

Costa Rica & Central America

Where nature abounds and adventure awaits
The Western Coast of Costa Rica is shaped like a giant crab, with two great claws, the Nicoya Peninsula in the North and the Osa Peninsula (with its pincer turned backward) in the South reaching out to the Pacific Ocean. Within this wide embrace lies a natural paradise so dazzling and diverse that it defies any adequate description. Ticans realized very early on that their countrys amazing natural beauty and diversity must be protected, and so the government reserved a full quarter of its landmass for national parks. With 9,000 higher plant species, 800 ferns, 850 bird species, hundreds of frogs and reptiles and 10% of all mammals on earth, theres a lot to protect. Everywhere in Costa Rica, strict conservation is universally observed.
Where the wild things are

A pair of scarlet macaws breaks out of the treetops and soars over a beach where the only tracks are those of last nights nesting turtles. You ride your horse over the sands to a small stream where blue butterflies play over brilliant pink flowers. Sounds of jungle and surf are strangely intermingled. This is where rain forest and beach meet in Costa Ricas Corcovado National Park, the day-glo tropical version of Where the Wild Things Are.
34
nature unbounded
With the rugged spine of the volcanic cordilleras rising just a few kilometres inland from the Pacific Coast, dramatic climate changes in 11 distinct ecological zones can occur in a very short distance. The zones range from intertidal to the dry forests of the northern Guanacoste plain to the intermontane cloud forests to the dense rain soaked jungle wildernesses of the south, each with its own eco-system. The entire Pacific Coast is indented by gulfs, bays and inlets offering refuge and nesting places for marine, bird and land animal species in countless numbers. Today it is human visitors who
35
find welcome refuge. Surfers stream like lemmings to the sea to beaches that stretch forever. Nature lovers can soar through the jungle canopy on a wire, raft a rollicking or gentle river, hike through forests decked in giant ferns and clouds of orchids. Or just sit, stand, lie or look in any direction and watch nature perform around you. Star Flyers new in-depth Costa Rican itineraries will give guests unparalleled access to both major and lesser-known national parks, some on remote islands and bays inaccessible to land-based tourists. We invite you to join us in a rare adventure of nature unbounded.

Isla Iguana, Panama

As you approach the remote uninhabited island of the Isla Iguana wildlife reserve on Panamas Pacific coast, the first thing youll notice are the frigate birds, 5,000 of them, in fact, soaring and diving in breathtaking aerobatics. And the reason they are here is the abundance of the islands coral reefs. Their lure is as irresistible to snorkelers and divers as it is to the frigate birds, but if youd rather stay topside, you can laze in a hammock under a palm tree and watch all the action from the beach.
38
Islas Tortugas National Reserve, Costa Rica (Curu Wildlife Reserve)

Tortuga is an exquisite little island of off Costa Ricas Nicoya Peninsula. Giant manta rays, dolphins and the occasional humpback whale are frequent visitors here and the volcanic reef is home to dozens of marine species.

San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua

In the 1849 Gold Rush, before the Canal was built, the way you went from the Atlantic to the Pacific was via Cornelius Vanderbilts trans-isthmus steamboats, which took you up the Rio San Juan across Lake Nicaragua and then via rail to San Juan del Sur, the Pacific terminus, where youd catch a clipper for San Francisco. The highlights of this stop are the city of Grenada and the Masaya Volcano National Park.

Panama Canal Ports of Call

Aruba
Bon boni means welcome in the local dialect, Papiamento, and is universally understood by all who visit little Aruba. Just 15 miles from Venezuela, this almost independent nation still has a ceremonial Dutch Governor General. Once it depended on oil for income, but tourism is the new king. No wonder Arubas endless beaches and spectacular diving are too tempting to pass up. tropical Amsterdam where the floating market sells mangos and papayas instead of tulips. In Curacaos interior cunucu, a few Dutch landhuis or farm owners still wrest a living by ranching on the near-desert soil.
La Blanquilla, Venezuela
La Blanquillas tranquil and inviting white beaches give no hint of the amazing diving that lies only 65 yards offshore. A limestone cliff wall plunges more than 3,000 feet into the depths. Along the outcropping pinnacles of Piedra del Ahogado, divers can spot rare black corals growing in profusion.
Balboa, Panama
Balboa was built to house American administrative headquarters for the Canal and many of the buildings are handsome examples of the American colonial style of the early 1900s.
Porlamar, Isla Margarita, Venezuela

Only 25 miles north of Venezuela coast, Isla Margarita is the favorite getaway for Cariocans. Margarita means pearl in Greek, and the island was once the center for harvesting egg size pearls. Porlamar, though founded in 1536, is a modern shopping mecca because of its duty free status. Northward lies the colonial capital of La Asuncin, wherethe cathedral contains a statue of the Virgin whose pearl studded robe would ransom a king. World class windsurfers gather on the Playa El Yaque beach, but those in search of quieter pleasures can explore the mangrove lined Lagoon La Restinga to see flamingos and 100 other resident bird species.
Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles

Pink flamingoes, divi-divi trees, Papiamento and the best diving in the Caribbean You can only be in Bonaire. The blinding white salt flats of Bonaire were once marked by tall obelisks of red, white, blue and orange (the colors of the old Dutch flag) to guide mariners. Today they are marked by clouds of pink enormous flocks (500 or more!) of fluttering flamingoes feasting on the orange brine shrimp that gives the flamingoes their unmistakable color.
Cartagena, Colombia
It was to Cartagena that writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez returned after the success of his evocative and fantastical novel 100 Years of Solitude, celebrating the life of Colombias Caribbean coast. And no wonder, for this magnificent walled city with its toe in the sea is a city of magical dreams, dating back to the time of the conquistadores. Sacked of its mammoth stores of gold and jewels by Francis Drake in 1586, the city soon recovered its wealth. Todays visitors can walk along Las Murallas - built to protect the city from invaders. And dream of finding emerald treasures in Cartagenas jewelry district.
San Blas Islands, Panama

The vivid colors of the San Blas Islands are undoubtedly the inspiration for the fanciful birds, fish and animals in brilliant reds, oranges, blues and greens that decorate the intricately appliqud molas created by the indigenous Kuna women. Strung along the throat of Panamas dramatically beautiful Kuna Yala coast, the remoteness of these coral atolls protects an independent people who prize their communal culture with its rich oral history and artistic heritage.
Please refer to pages 30 to 33 for Caribbean port descriptions.

The gabled houses and warehouses of Dutch colonial Willemstad march in tight formation along the entrance to St. Anna Bay, an incongruous vision of a

Ocean Crossings
A white crested trail is laid across an azure sea. Amidst natures hush, you and your fellow adventurers are transported across the Atlantic to the spice and colour of the Caribbean. The realisation of your dream of crossing an Ocean in a majestic sailing ship; a voyage with Star Clippers. To cross the Ocean on a true tall masted sailing ship is a wonderful, memorable journey for all to enjoy. This is time for reflection and relaxation, to enjoy good food and fine wines, while experiencing the incomparable adventure and excitement of crossing an Ocean from one continent to another. You will be able to experience the sights, sounds and sample the delicacies of many countries and cultures along the way. At many ports of call there are organised excursions for you to take part in. On certain journeys, enjoy special guest lectures on either, Maritime History, Ancient History or Marine Biology. We hope that you will take the opportunity to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and fun that an Ocean crossing can bring.

Ocean Crossings Ports of Call

Arrecife, Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain
The center of Arrecife, Lanzarotes picturesque seaside capital, is called the puddle, an odd reference on this desert like island where camels are a form of local transport. Discover the story of the Guanche, the original inhabitants of the islands or visit the surreal lunar landscape of the Timanfaya National Park with its bizarre craters, streams of lava and fields of ashes.
Ibiza, Balearic Islands, Spain

Ibiza is a place where people hang out because, except for the medieval walls, you could almost think it was the Meds version of Key West. But away from the hustle of town, some lovely beaches await.
Lisbon, Portugal
Lisbon is a legendary city with over 20 centuries of history. Spreading out along the right bank of the Tagus, its downtown, the Baixa, is located in the 18th-century area around Rossio. The Alfama, one of the oldest quarters in Lisboa still retains much of its original layout since it largely survived the earthquake of 1755.
Cadiz, Spain
Cadiz called the cup of silver is almost African in appearance, its streets are lined with palm trees, its churches topped with dome-like cupolas. Take advantage of our optional tours to Seville, the irresistible capital and cultural centre of Andalusia with its colourful and festive lifestyle.
Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain

This 15th century city with a semi-tropical colonial ambience is a favorite stopping place for yachts crossing the Atlantic. Visit the Casa Colon, named for the great explorer, or tour the island and ride up to the vast volcanic crater of Bandama, an extinct volcano rising nearly 1.900 feet above sea level.
Casablanca, Morocco
Veiled by overlapping mantles of French, Arabian and African culture, Casablanca reveals new faces at every turn. The enormous Hassan II Mosque (holding 70,000 worshippers) is the new Morocco, while the fanciful Mauresque buildings in the Medina impart visions of pre-war Casablanca. Lets not forget the historical though modern city of Rabat, the capital of Morocco.
Mahon, Menorca
Gracious Georgian buildings that climb the steep hills backing the Moll Ponent. Mahons heritage also includes the invention of mayonnaise and the first distillation of gin from juniper berries.
Funchal, Madeira, Portugal

The British have a soft spot in their hearts for Madeira. Since before the Napoleonic Wars, Funchal has been a favourite R & R stop for British holidaymakers. Madeiras terrain is impossibly steep, interrupted frequently by cascading waterfalls and covered in lush greenery and flowers. Everyone who visits Madeira has to take the careening sled ride from Monte to Funchal.
Malaga, Spain
When the Moors crossed over from Africa to Andaluca in 714, they were to establish a kingdom that would become the glory of the Middle Ages. Malagas fortress palace of the Alcazaba and the Castillo de Gibralfaro are splendid examples of Moorish architecture. But it is in Granada that you can see the most romantic and magnificent expression of the Arabesque style in the glorious Alhambra Palace.
46
Motril, Spain
The town of Motril is located in the Spanish region of Andalucia on the Costa Tropical. Nestling at the foothills of the Sierra Lujar mountains, the towns coastal strip includes two main beaches - the busy Playa Poniente, and the quieter Playa Granada. From Motril you can go to Grenada or discover the Alpujarras mountains.
Punta Delgada, Azores

The Azores have long played host to transatlantic yachtsmen, traders and explorers. It stands on the pretty green and fertile island of Sao Miguel. 16th and 17th century economic growth saw the construction of lavish palaces and churches, many still surviving.
Safi, Marocco Palma, Majorca

Towering over the harbour, Palmas enormous Gothic cathedral is a powerful symbol of the religious fervour which gripped all of Spain shortly after the defeat of the Moors. Built by Jaum I, its vast open nave and soaring Gothic columns have been added to over the centuries. Behind the Cathedral, a maze of twisting streets leads to designer boutiques and open-air markets. Visit Valldemossa where composer Frederyk Chopin and his partner the French writer George Sand spent the winter of 1838-1839 together. Today, Safi is mainly modern, home to a fishing port and diversified industries. The old town which lies within the city is still very much alive. Here you may be tempted to buy pottery typical of this part of the region. Our excursion to Marrakesh, the Red City, starts here.
Tangier, Morocco
Tangier was the real model for the famous American film Casablanca with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. It still retains its faded mongrel charm - not entirely Moroccan, European or African but a heady mix of all three. Situated 60 km east of Tangier, the pictoresque city of Tetuan beckons.
Pollensa, Majorca, Balearic Islands, Spain

Just a few miles inland from the beautiful beaches of Badia de Pollenca, in the Serra de Tramuntana hills overlooking Majorcas rugged northeast coast, the town of Pollensa dreams in slumber like Rip Van Winkle, virtually untouched for a hundred or more years. Walk the worn stairs of Via Crucis and take in the view from the ancient Benedictine Monastery, Ermita de Nostra Senora del Puig.
Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain

The island of Tenerife is bisected by steep volcanic mountains cut by garden-like valleys lush with flowers and vegetation. In the capital of Santa Cruz anthropological museum, learn about the original inhabitants of Tenerife, the stone age Guanche people. Not to be missed is a spectacular drive into the mountains, where 3,718-metre Mount Teide, Spains tallest mountain, is covered in snow much of the year.
Please refer to pages 30 to 33 (Caribbean), pages 63 to 65 (Eastern Med) and pages 74 to 77 (Western med) for further port descriptions. A variety of excursions are offered and can be booked on board.
Portimao, Algarve Coast, Portugal

The city of Portimao, the beach resort Praia da Rocha, and the nature reserve Ria de Alvor are the most well known places of an Algarve region quite unique in its diversity. Explore the countless shopping opportunities, visiting historical sites, strolling along the river boulevard or just sipping a drink in a garden bar.

Baltic Sea
Feel the enchantment of the North. The snap of a sail and the scent of the sea on a summers day when dusk falls at midnight.
Archipelagos where brightly-painted holiday cottages cling limpet-like to rocky skerries. Richly saturated colours that seem to come from a Flemish masters palette in landscapes that evoke medieval folklore and fairytales. The plaintive strains of Grieg and Sibelius played in a royal palace where kings and queens once listened and lived. These are the sights and textures of Northern Europe, a multi-hued and layered tapestry that reaches out to be touched, tasted and savoured in a thousand mind pictures. From Germany and the Low Countries to the Baltic lands of the Vikings and the Eastern Empire of the Tsars, Northern Europe is a territory of vast and vivid variety. Reaching into the heart of Northern Europe is the Baltic - Mare Suebicum in the Latin of ancient scribes. It was the Vikings who first braved the crossing of this brackish sea to venture from Denmark, Norway and Sweden eastward into the lands we now know as Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, eventually finding their way to the Black Sea. Not content with just going east, they also sailed and rowed westward through the Straits of Denmark to Scotland, England, Ireland, Iceland, Greenland and Newfoundland. Southward they ranged as far as Spain and North Africa, and traversed the Mediterranean to Byzantium and even Baghdad. Their longships were the fastest vessels on the water, and their Kings and captains, such as Harald Hardrada, Canut the Great, Eric the Red and Leif Ericsson, fearless. History has focused on the Vikings reputation for raiding and pillaging, but in reality they founded towns, built fortifications, made dynastically opportune marriages and created immensely profitable trade routes that linked them to important cities in Europe and Asia. After the introduction of Christianity, the Hanseatic League inherited or took over many of these settlements and routes and became even more allpowerful in the Baltic. Today Star Flyer will trace the Vikings extraordinary voyages, following the routes of those passionate explorers to storied lands and places. Along the way, Star Flyer will also participate with other magnificent tall ships in celebratory sailing parades in the German ports of Kiel, Hamburg and Rostock (Warnemnde). And with great pride in our Swedish sailing heritage, we invite you to join Star Flyers Captain and crew in the thrilling experience of standing at the rail and passing by crowds of onlookers with all sails set and flags dipped in salute!

Baltic Sea Ports of Call
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Filleted by canals reflecting arching bridges and gabled rooflines, Amsterdam beguiles you wherever you wander. Gaze in awe at Rembrandts Night Watch at the Rijksmuseum, or let Van Goghs sunflowers warm your soul. See how diamonds are cut, sniff the scents of millions of blossoms at the flower market or Keukenhof Gardens or explore a replica of a Dutch East India ship at the Maritime Museum.
Copenhagen, Denmark
Copenhagen is today one of the loveliest and liveliest cities in Europe. Walk the Strget (a pedestrian only area of endless charms), gaze at the twinkling lights and flower-filled gardens of Tivoli, or wander the corridors of Christansborg Palace. A few miles away lie Kronborg, the haunt of Hamlets father in Helsingr (Elsinore) and the water-ringed castle of Frederiksborg in Hillerd.
Antwerp, Belgium
Antwerps Cathedral of Our Lady, the loftiest in the Low Countries, contains four spectacular biblical scenes painted by Pieter Paul Rubens. Rubens is just one of a least a dozen great 16th century Flemish painters who worked in Antwerp, including Frans Hals, Jan and Pieter Breughel, and Anthony Van Dyke The lovely guild houses and town hall in Market Square attest to the citys importance during the Golden Age.
Esbjerg, Denmark
Esbjerg isnt very old, dating from the 1880s, but the town looks like its founders launched an elaborate architectural fantasy. What you notice first are its incredible red brick buildings. Gabled, arched, quoined, crenellated and decorated to a fare-theewell. Some remind you of Venetian palazzos, others of Tuscan or Moorish castles.
Flensburg, Germany Arendal, Norway

Arendal is a sailors town, as you will immediately guess when you go ashore. The Tyholmen or old district was originally an island and its elegant timber buildings dating from the 19th century surround the yacht-filled Pollen, or harbour. A short trip south takes you to Grimstad, where Henrik Ibsen lived before becoming Norways most famous playwright. It was here in 1945 that Admiral Karl Dnitz made Flensburg, nestled at the end of the winding Flensburg Fjord, the seat of Germanys wartime government after Hitler committed suicide in Berlin. Today, Flensburg is a happier place, with many Danes coming over the border (only a couple kilometers away) to shop, dine and partake of Flensburgs famous brew, Flensberger Pilsener.
Gdansk (Danzig), Poland Borkum, Germany

Lying in the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, the North Sea Frisian island of Borkum has a relatively mild climate. Which is why many Germans consider it their favorite close-by getaway. Borkum has been the site of health resorts since the 1860s, when its soothing muds and vivifying waters were purported to heal many ills. The heart of Gdansk is an historic visual treat, replete with Renaissance and Baroque churches, gabled houses and tree-shaded streets. Its serene beauty veils a turbulent history of harsh rule by Teutonic Knights, Polish kings, Nazi and Soviet invaders and independence as a free state.
54
Gothenburg, Sweden
Gothenburg, Swedens second largest city, was the setting for part of Stieg Larssons last bestselling thriller. The canals and streets were actually created by the Dutch, who were brought here by King Gustav II in 1620 to build a city on the River Gta.
Helsinki, Finland
Youll be fooled by Helsinkis summer light, because the sun dips below the horizon for just a few hours. More time to savor this inviting white city on the Baltic to the full! One of Finlands heroes was composer Jean Sibelius, whose striking monument is a Helsinki pilgrimage point.
Halmstad, Sweden
Northward along Swedens Golden Coast lies a maze of islands and rocks deeply indented by the sea leading to Halmstad, a favorite haunt of the sailing and fishing addicted Swedes.
Ijmuiden, Netherlands
Facing the broad North Sea Canal, Ijmuiden is the port for Amsterdam. Created when the Canal linking Amsterdam to the North Sea was built in 1876, it is the newest port city of North Holland and its strategic importance made it a heavily bombed target during WWII.
Hamburg, Germany
Hamburg flaunts its enormous wealth with a muscular presence that is backed by 2000 years of mercantile history. The citys position on the Elbe River made it a natural center for trade. The copper-spired tower of the 647 room Rathaus (Town Hall) testifies to Hamburgs importance, while the exquisite baroque church of St. Michael portrays another side of Hamburg begging to be experienced. Take a night tour of the lively warehouse district or the famous St. Pauli entertainment district, and youll see why the lights never go out in Hamburg! Note: Hamburg will be the first of three German ports where Star Flyer will participate in an historic sailing parade of magnificent tall ships rarely assembled in such numbers. Other ports include Kiel and Warnemuende (Rostock.)
Kalundborg, Denmark
Kalundborg is the site of one of the first experiments in industrial symbiosis (begun 1961). The conservation and cost-efficiencies realized by this program have allowed the town to retain its almost picture-perfect village atmosphere
Karlskrona, Sweden
Karlskrona has been a Swedish navy town since its founding in 1680. One look around at the elaborate naval shipyards dating from the 1700s and the lovingly maintained baroque buildings in the town square and you will see why this unique island city is designated a UN World Heritage Site.
Hanko, Finland
The annual Hanko Regatta is a popular attraction in this southernmost tip of Finland. A Finnish frontier port, was a favored retreat for vacationing Tsarist royalty. The Hanko archipelago offers numerous inviting anchorages for sailors.
Kiel, Germany
Kiel is the site of another famous sailing regatta Keil Week. Star Flyer will participate with other tall ships in a sailpast event that marks the opening of scheduled match racing of over 2,000 of the fastest boats in the world, ranging from single-handed dinghies to multi-ton maxi-boats.
Helsingborg, Sweden
From Helsingborg, its a short hop across the resund to Denmarks Helsingor (Elsinore). Garden lovers should visit the exquisite grounds of Sofiero, the fantasy castle and grounds formerly belonging to the Royal Family, where a 1000 species of rhododendron grow in magenta and purple profusion.
Klaipeda, Lithuania
Klaipeda sits at the head of the Coronian Spit, a long finger of forest and dunes. It was one of Richard Wagners favorite hangouts. Klaipedas downtown boasts beautiful half-timbered houses. In nearby Neringa theres a bizarre park of fantastical wooden sculptures called Witches Hill.
55
Kristiansand, Norway
Across the Skagarak Strait from Denmark, Kristiansands fortress stands guard over an orderly grid of little streets, bordered by white frame houses. Posebyen (Old Town) is a glimpse of another time and the site of a lively daily market.
hundreds of human forms in bronze and granite at Vigelsland Sculpture Park.
Oudeschild, Texel, Netherlands

The tiny port of Oudeschild sits at the bottom of Texel, the first of the Wadden Islands extending toward Denmark. William of Orange built the formidable fortress De Shane here, and during the 1600s Dutch East India Companys treasure-laden ships anchored by the score in the protected Texel Roads. A bicycle ride around Texel reveals marshes and beaches teeming with birdlife. Please note that, depending on tides, ship may stop in nearby Den Helder instead.
List (Sylt), Germany

Jutting into the North Sea like a giant wishbone, the islands shape-shifting landscape of finely powdered beaches and migrating sand dunes is constantly changing. Hike through the dunes, populated by flocks of free-roaming sheep, watch for 300 species of birds in the marshes or listen for the local dialect called Slring in the shops.
Ronne (Bornholm), Denmark Mariehamn (land), Finland

Though Mariehamn was named after the Russian Empress Maria Alexandrovna in 1861, Mariehamn is Swedish by language and heritage. In the harbour, you will see one of the great Flying P Line tallships which were the inspiration for Star Clippers! With its rugged, rocky coastline tumbling into the Baltic, forested hills, ancient runic stones, round churches, and deserted beaches, the Island of Bornholm might remind you of Scotlands Western Isles (But with more sun!). Sailors love Bornholm, and it is an untrammeled paradise for hikers, birders and those who love to poke around old ruins.
Marstrand, Sweden
This small island is a ten-minute ferry ride from the mainland, and only non-motorized vehicles are allowed. Marstrand was a favorite retreat for King Oscar II and Gilded Age society gathered here annually to summer at the splendid hotels.
Sassnitz (Rgen), Germany

On the island of Rgen, little Sassnitz is the site of several gingerbread-trimmed hotels where outdoor lovers like to vacation. It is also the jumping off place for Jasmund National Park, where hikers may walk through forests of beech and larch to view the spectacular chalk cliffs that tower in white majesty over the breaking sea below.
Nyborg (Funen), Denmark

The island of Funen is the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen, and it was in nearby Odense that he was inspired to write the fairy-tales that enchant children and adults to this day. Nyborg town was once the site of the Danish court, which met here between 1250 and 1415.
Simrishamn, Sweden
Simrishamn is a small but very old port town where the cobbled main street leads to attractive craft shops including a forge and inviting seafood bistros. Nearby Glimmingehus castle, dating from 1499, offers medieval festivals.
Oslo, Norway
Long ago, dead Viking chiefs were buried with great ceremony in their ships complete with regalia and supplies for the afterlife, just like Egyptian pharaohs. You can see these 1,000 year-old formerly scuttled vessels at the Oslo Viking Ship Museum. Skiers will want to visit the Holmenkollen Ski Museum (inside the famous ski jump) to see how a Norwegian farmer invented modern Telemark skiing. And not be forgotten (and they are unforgettable!) are the
Southampton, Great Britain

Southampton is where the grandest ocean liners embarked on their legendary transatlantic voyages. Its your gateway to London and Southeast Englands ducal palaces, venerable universities, and stately homes. From the spires of Oxford and Cambridge and Canterbury to the odalisque domes of Brighton Pavilion, its a feast of history never forgotten.
56
Stockholm, Sweden
Some would argue that this amazingly lovely fresh/salt water-girt city, is the most beautiful on earth and the most accessible by foot or water - for no matter where you look, something tempts your eye, whether its the red-brick medieval houses, grand public buildings and palaces, the luxuriant waterside parks, the cobbled streets, or the silver-dipped waters dotted with sails. Be sure to see the Wasa, King Gustav II Adolf s gilt-trimmed flagship, on display after 300 years under the sea.
Visby (Gotland), Sweden

In Visby, the beloved city of walls and roses, visitors can explore Visbys city walls that enfold the back of the old Hanseatic merchant town in a protective circle of limestone battlements. Or look up at towering specimen trees and inhale the delicate scents (including the roses) of exotic flowers at the lush Botanic Gardens.
Warnemuende (Rostock) Germany

Every year in August, Rostock hosts Hanse Sail, a gathering of traditional sailing ships from all over the world. Star Flyer is proud to be part of this event in 2012! The ancient Hanseatic League city of Rostock on the Warnow River has been an important seaport from the 13th century onward and the first propellerdriven ships were built in Rostock. A stroll to the ornate Town Hall and St. Marys Church takes you from the Gothic Middle Ages to the Renaissance and Baroque eras.
St. Petersburg, Russia

Peter the Greats Window on the West glitters with the grandest opera, museums, music, ballet, palaces, churches, monuments and culture ever assembled by one monarch. (Of course, he was helped by a few successors, such as Catherine the Great). Star Flyer will spend two days here the perfect time of year to enjoy St. Petersburgs white nights!
Stromstad, Sweden
A spa and health resort since the 1890s, Stromstad claims to have the sunniest weather and saltiest water in Sweden. The nearby Koster Islands are the site of the Kosterhavets National Marine Park, where you can frolic with seals or catch lobsters and crab with a local fishing guide.
Zeebrugge (Bruges) Belgium

Connected to the sea by the canal to Zeebrugge, Bruges opens her lovely eyes to visitors, and what sights travelers see! Bruges symbol is the swan, a fittingly beautiful icon for The Venice of the North. Laced by canals and the famous Minnewater reflecting gabled guild houses, arched bridges and ivy draped walls, Bruges reveals her history, dating from the time of the Vikings, one perfect scene after another.
Tallinn, Estonia
The birth of Estonias independence from Soviet Russia began with a marathon sing-a-long demonstration in a Tallinn arena in 1988. You too will sing the praises of this exquisitely restored city on the Bay of Finland. The red walls of Toompea Castle, proudly flying the Estonian flag, the pink and white baroque extravagance of Peter the Greats Kagriorg Palace, the massive city walls and the church-like Town Hall bordering the most beautiful town square in Northern Europe - and so much more - await your discovery!
Ventspils, Latvia
Ventspils enjoys the rare distinction of being the Baltics only ice-free port. And so ships have been built in here since the 1300s. Today Ventspils huge marine terminal handles the worlds largest tankers, but the town heritage is better captured at the lovely Livonian castle on the Venta River. And if youd like to dip in the Baltic, Ventspilss beach is first rate!
57
58
Eastern Mediterranean
Greek fishermen bring their catch to shore at the end of the day. Their craggy faces are etched by long days at sea, toiling under the same sun that rose and set for eons over their ancestors.
On shore, a group of light-hearted Star Clippers travellers follow a twisting alleyway to a small taverna where the strums of the bouzouki and a glass of ouzo are the perfect accompaniments to the evenings catch. Long ago, these Eastern Mediterranean islands and ports were the landing places for an endless tide of invaders from far off lands. From ancient Phoenicia, Persia, the Peloponnesus, Imperial Rome and Constantinople they came. Followed by waves of European Crusader knights, Genoan mariners, Venetian merchants and turbaned Turkish troops of the Ottoman Empire. They stormed ashore to conquer, only to be vanquished by time and absorbed into the dry volcanic earth. All that remains are their stone ruins, ghostly shapes wrapped in myth and mystery. Today the sun-spangled seas bordered by Greece, Turkey, Italy, Croatia and the Dalmatian Coasts are inviting playgrounds for pleasure seekers. Join us as we explore a yachtsmans paradise on forgotten islands where white-washed sands invite sun worshippers to bask under Helios gaze, or fortress-like rocks where ancient monasteries cling like mountain climbers on towering cliffs. Or stand where battling armies fought hand-to-hand in Troy and Gallipoli. Walk through iron doors of medieval Kastros where tales of pagan rites and knightly rituals are told. Inhale the balm of almond and lemon at the place where Hippocrates taught his healing arts. The Dodecanese, the Cyclades, the Sporades, the Dardanelles - islands and places that fairly sing on the tongue. And no one knows these favoured lands and seas as well as Star Clippers.

Eastern Mediterranean Ports of Call
Amorgs, Greece
Amorgs cliff-clinging monastery of Hozoviotissas has one of the most spectacular locations of any in Greece. Only a few monks live in the cavernous 50- room monastery, but the view from their terrace aerie might make you think they had all own to heaven from this very spot.
Chios, Greece
Boatbuilders have dominated Hios since the time of Homer, and many of Greeces powerful ship-building families have homes here. In Byzantine times, the islands biggest export was the locally grown aromatic mastic resin (pistacia mastica) which the Ottoman Turks became addicted to chewing, so much so that when the supply was cut off in 1822, they decimated the island, leaving only the mastic producing villages intact. These villages still maintain an intriguing Byzantine/Arabesque avour.
Athens, Greece
Walking in the shadow of the Acropolis in the Agora, you can almost hear the voices of Plato, Socrates and Aristotle arguing about who was the greatest philosopher. Ancient Athens, the birthplace of democracy and epicentre of western civilisation, is a city for all eternity.
Corfu, Greece
The lushest (and some say the loveliest) of all the Greek Islands, Corfu lies just a stones throw from the Albanian coast. Nowhere is the stunning natural beauty of Corfu more evident than in the small village of Paleocastritsa, where legend says Odysseus was washed ashore to be rescued by Nausicaa. Visit the Neo-classical palace Achilleion, built under the rule of Empress Elisabeth of Austria.
Bodrum, Turkey
Known in ancient times as Halicarnassus, this was the birthplace of Heredotus and the site of King Mausolus Tomb (4th century BC), one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Dalyan River, Turkey Canakkale, Turkey

Facing squarely across the Dardanelles to confront the imposing mass of Kilitbahir Fortress, Canakkale reminds you that this area has been a place of conict since the time of the Trojan War. Nearby Troy (Truva), uncovered by archeologist Heinrich Schliemann in 1871, was of course the site of the most famous siege in history. Time has eroded most of the 3,500 year-old ruins, but you can imagine what Priam felt as he faced Achilles invading Greek army. At rst glance, this is a picture one hardly expects to see in Turkey - A lovely, unspoiled lake teeming with sh, a lush marshy delta, verdant farmlands, a lazy, reed-fringed river meandering into the sea. On shore, you can see ruins of the Lycian city of Caunos, with its basilica and fortications looming over the green marsh where endangered Caretta loggerhead turtles hatch in the spring.
63
Dikkili, Turkey
Dikkili is a sleepy little beach town, authentically Turkish. The harbour is lined with open-air restaurants and shops with local food specialties. Nearby, Bergama is worth a visit especially for its two main monuments: the Acropolis perched at a height of 280 metres and the Asklepion.
ruins, but perhaps the best known is the Asklepian, where Hippocrates taught the healing arts. Known for its curative powers and featuring therapeutic treatments and a soothing environment, it was the original model for todays spas.
Kusadasi, Turkey Hydra, Greece

Hydra is a town of stately mansions all built around 1800 by blockade runners who had made fortunes outwitting the British during the Napoleonic Wars. As there are no cars, for the spectacular view from the Monastery of Ilias youll have to ride a donkey to the top. Kusadasi is a popular Turkish port of call for cruise ships, as not only is it a bustling resort town full of shops, bars and restaurants, but it is also the main access point for the famous archeological site at Ephesus. Extensive excavations have revealed an ancient city through which visitors can now wander and observe the wonders of a bygone civilisation. Near Kusadasi, on Turkeys turquoise coast, we make a stop at Camlimani, a small pellucid bay. Swim at the beach or in the enormous pool. Snorkel, stroll the pine scented grounds, or have a run at the rides in the aquapark.
Istanbul, Turkey
Throughout thousands of years Istanbuls geographical position has maintained its importance. Today it is a huge metropolis connecting continents, cultures and religions and is home to eleven million people and one of the greatest business and cultural centres of the region.
Monemvasia, Greece
From the shore, its a big rock sticking out into the sea. Then you pass over the causeway, and through an iron fortress gate, and suddenly, the town of Monemvasia is before you, a perfectly preserved Byzantine fortied port, once 60,000 strong, now home to just a few hundred. You can readily see why the name Monemvasia means single entrance! In the rocky hills above, ancient Byzantine ruins loom over the town, while below a maze of red tiled roofs and twisting alleys hide tavernas and cafes and the home of revered Greek poet Yannis Ritsos
Katkolon, Greece
The beach at little Katkolon is an inviting diversion, but you will surely want to go inland to Olympia for bigger game. Set in a stunningly lovely valley overlooked by Kronos Hill, Olympia began hosting athletic games in the 11th century BC. Walk through the sacred Temples of Zeus and Hera, stand on the still visible starting line in Stadium and imagine the chariots about to hurtle around the Hippodrome.
Mykonos, Greece Kos, Greece

Kos was the home of Hippocrates, and near the old Kastro (castle) of the Knights of St. John, there stands an ancient plane tree which is purported to be from the time of the famous physician. Kos abounds with famous
64
One of the most cosmopolitan of all the Greek Islands, Mykonos is a contrast of rocky hills and beautiful beaches. Hora, the capital, spreads around a colourful harbour, a popular meeting place, overlooked by a variety of tavernas, in which shing boats nestle side by side with luxury yachts.
Myrina, Limnos, Greece

It was Zeus who hurled Hephaestus from Mt. Olympus to land on Limnos, leaving the god of metalworking with a permanent limp. Perhaps he was nursed to health by excellent red and white wines (fortied or not) grown on Limnos volcanic soils. The town of Myrina sits under the winding white ramparts of the Kastro, built in 1186. But even earlier ruins - one of most ancient sites in Greece lie in nearby Poliohni..
Sarti, Greece
Eastern Macedonias Halkidhiki peninsula pokes three elongated ngers into the heart of the Aegean. Sarti was originally a village belonging to the monastery of St. Xiropotamos.

Athos, the monks republic where only males may enter.
Patmos, Greece
This serene island is known as the site of the apocalyptic revelations of St. John the Divine, The cave where he is said to have lived is now the site of the Monastery of the Apocalypse. It houses priceless icons and manuscripts in its treasury.
Santorini, Greece
The island of Santorini is perhaps the most breathtaking of all the Greek Islands. Around 1500 BC, a volcanic eruption destroyed the centre of the island, leaving a crescent shaped rim of cliffs around a harbour formed in the volcanos caldera. Enjoy a stroll through the narrow passageways of the picturesque village of Oia, and discover Santorinis typical architecture.
Poros, Saronic Islands, Greece

Its barely a hop, skip and a jump from the Argolid Peninsula to the island of Poros, sometimes called Kavlria. Greeces naval academy is here, and visitors can hear the cadets marching band every morning. The views from the Temple of Poseidon are eternal, which may be why the doomed orator Demosthenes chose to end his life here. Take a water taxi to Galatas for excursions to the fragrant lemon groves of Lemonodhssos, or venture inland to ancient Troezen or Epidauros.
The Sporades
In Greek, Skiathos, Skiros and Skopelos are called the scattered ones a handful of sun-baked specks ung over a blanket of green and blue. Home to Atatlanta, the young Achilles and the death place of Theseus, today the Sporades are inhabited by tanned tourists in the summer and some year-round residents descended from the islands Cretan ancestors, plus a few endangered monk seals on the outer islands.
Rhodes, Greece

Amble along this medieval citys narrow stonepaved streets with its 15th century buildings, archways, buttresses, minarets and fountains. The Street of the Knights is the nest example of a late Gothic street to be found anywhere in Europe and the imposing 14th century Grand Masters palace, a massive citadel that dominates the old town.
Yithion, Greece
Yithion is the ancient port and naval base of Sparta, and is reputed to be the site where Paris and Helen of Troy ed to Egypt. The town is an ideal base from which to explore the district, and the Caves of Diros.

Western Mediterranean & Grand Europe Ports of Call
Amalfi, Italy
During the Middle Ages, Amalfi was a powerful republic of 70,000 people, rivalling nearby Ravello. For a sense of Amalfis medieva glory, wander through the grand Duomo, containing the remains of St. Andrew. Or visit nearby Positano, said to be the most beautiful town in the Mediterranean.
Dubrovnik, Croatia
It was George Bernard Shaw who said, Those who seek paradise on earth should come to Dubrovnik. Indeed, Dubrovnik is a treasure by any measure made more precious by its miraculous restoration. Crowned by the Minceta Tower, the 10th century city walls are the proud symbol of Dubrovniks colourful history.
Brest, France
Brest, the westernmost port of Brittany, is the home of some of the best seafood and crepes in France. Its also the site of a once-every-four-years gathering of tall ships that is not to be missed. What a fortunate coincidence that this great sailing event will take place in 2012!
Formentera, Balearic Islands, Spain

Formentera is the smallest and most southern island of the Balearic Islands group. With a population of just over 7,000 and no airport, Formentera is much quieter than its raucous neighbor Ibiza. Formentera is best known for its water-sports and the fact that nude sunbathing is allowed on most of its beaches.
Capri, Italy
Capri, where the Emperor Tiberius held notorious bacchanals at his Imperial villa, has gradually become one of the most popular resorts in southern Italy. Famous for its scenery and climate, Capri is a garden of Eden teeming with vegetation despite the rocky landscape.
Gibraltar
Nulli Expugnabilis Hosti (Conquerable by no Enemy) reads the coat of arms of Gibraltar, the British Overseas Territory more commonly known as the rock. And indeed, Gibraltars towering granite massif has symbolized permanence and impregnable defenses for centuries. Conquered by the British after the battle of Trafalgar during the War of Spanish Succession, Gibraltar has been an important naval base ever since. Today its status as a VAT free port makes it a magnet for private banking and high-end shoppers looking for bargains in the chic London-based boutiques. A trip to the top of the rock on the funicular will introduce you to Gibraltars mischievous Barbary apes - actually macaques.
Cartagena, Spain
The citys naval, maritime and historical museums provide insight into the 2,000 years this city has been a major port. Its now developing into a vibrant tourist attraction. The deep water harbor and walled town were used by Phoenicians, Romans and Moors prior to the Spanish navy. Visit Torres Park and the Castle of la Concepcin for the best views in the city.
Civitavecchia (Rome)
St. Peters, with its breathtaking Sistine Chapel, newly restored to its former glory, the Spanish Steps, where all Rome passes by, the Colosseum, where gladiators fought to the death, the Pantheon, considered to be the most perfect architectural statement of the ages.
Hammamet, Tunisia
From behind high walled gardens, the sweet scent of jasmine wafts into the air of Hammamet, to mix with the tantalizing aroma of spices and leather in the souks of the old medina. A favoured haunt of celebrated
74
visitors from the 1920s, bargains in the bazaars, the fabulous beaches, plus a welter of upscale resorts along the coast attract visitors today. Plan to visit Kairouan one of the major cultural and historical sites in North Africa or El JEM, a spectacular amphitheatre.
in Southern Europe. Boka harbours one of the prettiest, unspoiled towns youll ever see, the medieval city of Kotor. Founded by the Romans, fortified during the Byzantine era, then ruled by Venice for much of its history, Kotor has been naturally preserved by its isolation.
Hvar, Croatia
The heavenly scent of lavender perfumes the air in the fields and valleys around the island of Hvar. Idyllically located just off the Dalmatian coast, the island and the little port named after it have been a favourite getaway ever since the time of the Romans, the Byzantines, the Venetians and even Austro-Hungarian royalty.
La Coruna, Spain
Spains wild and lush Galician coast was originally settled by Celts. Later it was the Romans who built La Coruna and its best known landmark, the Tower of Hercules, the worlds first lighthouse. From La Coruna, Spain launched its ill-fated Armada of 1588. But you are more likely to launch an expedition to Spains most revered pilgrimage site, Santiago de Compostela, just 50 kilometers inland.
Korcula, Croatia
Framed by dense green forests of allepo pine and twisted cypress, the red tile roofs of Korcula, whose most famous native son was Marco Polo, form an inviting picture. The pale wheat coloured stone Cathedral of St. Mark houses a treasure trove of Dalmatian and Italian art. Walk through the towering Land Gate for a great view of the town.
Lipari & Stromboli, Aeolian Islands, Italy

Italys seven volcanic Aeolian Islands, just off the north coast of Sicily, are obviously a place favoured by the Gods. In Lipari, climb narrow streets to the medieval castello and enjoy a secluded beach. As Royal Clipper sails past Isola Strmboli, watch the sky for frequent volcanic fireworks.
Kotor, Boka Fjord, Montenegro

This stunning rock-walled chasm splitting the coastal mountains of Montenegro is the longest arm of the sea
75
Mali Losinj, Croatia

The warm sands of Cikat Bay, situated near the port of Mali Losinj where we anchor, are an irresistible magnet for beachgoers. And no wonder, the beach is 30 kilometres long and offers every watersport imaginable. For those who prefer to wander farther afield, our bicycle tour takes you around the island past the fortified town of Veli Losinj. architecture and a rich cultural heritage. It is the birthplace of famous composer and violinist Giuseppe Tartini. You may visit Piazza Tartini, the towns main square, Tartinis house, Benecanka Palace, or the Church of St. George and the nearby Franciscan monastery which rises above the town.
Ponza, Pontine Islands, Italy Pantelleria, Italy

Only 70 kilometers from the shoulder of Africa, Pantelleria hasnt been discovered by tourists. However, celebrities such as Madonna and Georgio Armani have made it their destination. The islands volcanic landscape has no beaches, but there are fascinating marine grottoes, hot springs and even a natural sauna. The fishing village of Gadir contains several of the distinctive dome-topped houses called dammuso and the hills are dotted with strange Neolithic funeral mounds called sesi. The pastel houses of Ponza Town rise in neat terraced rows from the busy harbour where sleekly groomed yachts and ramshackle fishing boats moor side by side. Happily, there are few tourists here, so its a delight to wander through the unspoiled town.
Rovinj, Croatia
Rovinj is a typical example of a Mediterranean town. The town is dominated by the Baroquethree-nave church of St. Euphemia (Fuma) - Close to the harbour are the clock tower, the Baroque Balbis Arch and the former 17th c. Town Hall. To the east lies the complex of the Franciscan monastery and to the south, Rovinjs oldest monument, the Romanesque heptagonal chapel of the Holy Trinity.
76
Piran, Slovenia
Surrounded by a circular wall, the town of Piran resembles an open-air museum with medieval
Sorrento, Italy
Sorrento, whose city walls rise straight out of the sea, is located on the lovely Amalfi Coast and overlooks the Bay of Naples. Optional excursions might include taking a trip back in history to Pompeii, where the ashen remains of ancient Romans lie frozen in time. Marvel at frescos in the Palace of the Grand Knights. Or drive to the ancient ruins of Hagar Qim, where Neolithic temples more than 5,500 years old are believed to be the oldest human structures on earth.
Venice, Italy Syracuse, Italy

The Greek Tyrants Gelon and Dionysius the Elder made Siracusa the most feared power in the Mediterranean until its downfall by Rome, resulting in the death of the citys most famous citizen, Archimedes. Siracusas best known monument, the grand Tempio di Atena, survived the ages because it became a Christian church. At the Neapolis, explore the ancient Greek quarry and caverns, including Ear of Dionysius, so named by the painter Caravaggio when he visited the cave in 1586. Venice is the heart and soul of romance. Cast your eye on the rounded domes of San Marco, take a deep breath at the Bridge of Sighs, gaze on the golden lions and the Renaissance glories of the Doges Palace,listen for the ghosts of Verdi, Puccini and Caruso at La Fenice Opera House, gape at the classic Palladian proportions of the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore, glide in a gondola down the Grand Canal. And know that love is always in the air in Venice.
Vigo, Spain Taormina, Sicily, Italy

Barreling under full sail through the narrow Strait of Messina past Scylla and Charybdis, where rock and whirlpool almost claimed Ulysses, you arrive in lovely Taormina, Perched on Mt. Tauro with a view of the Etna from the amphitheater, Taormina inspired Goethe to say that It is the greatest work of art and nature. Southwest Galicia is cut by meandering rias, making this picturesque coast a very inviting cruise destination. In Vigo, the Puente de Rande over the Ria de Vigo looks so much like a mini Golden Gate that you might think you were in San Francisco Bay! Vigos cobblestone alleyways hide attractive restaurants and shops, but equally tempting are the little Islas Cies just offshore, offering some of the best beaches in Galicia.
Please refer to pages 63 to 65 (Eastern Med) for further port descriptions. A variety of excursions are offered and can be booked on board.
Valletta, Malta
The Knights of St. John put Malta on the map in 1565 when they withstood an invasion of 30,000 Turks with only 700 Knights. For that a grateful Europe gave them the means to build the beaytiful city of Valletta. See the graves of the Knights guarded by masterpieces by Caravaggio in the imposing St. Johns Co-Cathedral.
