Update on Star Clippers

Just a quick follow on tonight to Tuesdays post about Star Clippers. Several of you have emailed me some interesting facts and figures about Star Clippers cruises, some of which I already knew, some of them I didn't.
My favourite little known fact however is about the Royal Clipper, Star Clipper cruises largest yacht.
Whilst onboard you have to make sure you get a drink in a bar called the Captain Nemo lounge. As the title suggests it's located under the waterline and has portholes from which you can see out under the waves.
Maybe not so useful cruising the Baltics but perfect for those Caribbean itineraries for looking out at all the tropical fish.
It's also the only cruise ship that I know of to offer this amazing facility.

Happy cruising

Star Clipppers VS Windstar

I was talking to a client today who was bored of the usual big ocean going cruise vessels and wanted to try something new. She still wanted to cruise, she just wasn't sure what she was looking for.

After chatting to her for a bit I recommended to her that we have a look at some Star Clipper cruises and some Windstar cruises. Like a lot of other people out there, including a lot of experienced cruisers, she had never heard of either of them.

Star Clippers - What are they like?

This cruise line is rapidly becoming a bit of an obsession of mine. I really, really want to go on a cruise with Star Clippers!
The problem is my wife isn't a huge cruise fan, (she loves the holidays, she's just got a bit of a phobia of being out at sea). She's happy on the big cruise ships but something like Star Clippers puts her off a little. The thing is these ships really are amazing. I thought it might help others in the same sort of position as myself, either wondering whether to go or trying to convince others to go with them, if I posted a bit of info about them for you today.
