Star Clipper | Wendy Wu Tours

A true clipper ship in every sense, Star Clipper reflects her heritage in every inch of polished brass and gleaming brightwork. At 115 metres, she carries just 166 guests, and life on board is relaxed and unhurried - closer in feel to a private yacht than a conventional cruise ship.

Deck space is generous, with two swimming pools and expansive teak decks that offer more room per passenger than most ocean-going vessels. The interiors are decorated with antique prints and paintings of famous sailing ships, with teak and mahogany throughout that nod to the era that inspired her design.

On board, dining is open-seating in an elegantly appointed dining room. The Tropical Bar and Piano Bar form the social heart of the ship, and an Edwardian-style library - complete with a Belle Époque fireplace - provides a quieter retreat.

RELAXATION

Friends gather round the piano bar and join in singing a few favorites. And in the Tropical Bar, the bartender shakes a pitcher full of some delicious cooling concoction. Now, is there anything more relaxing than this?

ENTERTAINMENT

To entertain you at certain ports, we invite local performers, folk groups or musicians to liven up your evenings on board and our crew members are always ready to entertain you with games and nautical activities. So rather than enduring another Broadway show, you can enjoy the conviviality of fellow shipmates while a live band plays tropical tunes from a real paradise.

THE CAPTAIN & CREW

The Captain and crew are superb improvisers of the kind of light-hearted fun you’ll only find on Star Clippers. The Captain’s daily briefing on deck is wonderfully informative and a chance to hear some great story-telling as well.

Life Onboard

Restaurant

The main dining room operates open seating throughout the voyage - no assigned tables and no fixed sitting times. The menu changes daily and covers a broad international range. The dress code is relaxed: no shorts or flip-flops after dark is the only rule.

Piano Bar

The Piano Bar is the social centre of the ship in the evenings - informal, unhurried, and well-suited to the pace of life on board.

Tropical Bar

The Tropical Bar is the main deck bar and the natural gathering point at sundown, serving drinks throughout the day and into the evening.

Pool

Star Clipper has two freshwater swimming pools on deck, with more outdoor space per passenger than most conventional cruise ships.

Library

The Edwardian-style library is one of the quieter spaces on board, furnished in keeping with the ship's nautical heritage. A Belle Époque fireplace makes it a popular retreat on longer passages.

Watersports

A selection of watersports equipment is available at no extra charge, including kayaks, windsurfers and snorkelling gear. Equipment is available to guests aged 12 and over. Swimming from the ship is possible at suitable anchorages, though Star Clipper does not have a marina platform - access to the water is via the gangway ladder.
