Where am I going next?

Knowing that I love to travel, I am often asked "so where are you going next"? 

I am finally going to tick Greece off of on my own personal "bucket list"! Greece is a place I have ALWAYS wanted to go to since I first started traveling, and I am finally making it a reality next July. Of course there are LOTS of different options, but I have chosen to do a sailing trip with amazing Star Clippers.

So why Star Clippers? I have long been fascinated with this16-sail Tall Ship, which is inspired by the legendary 19th century Clipper ships. These ships are known for their tradition and romance but with the comforts and amenities of the modern era. This beautiful ship boasts teak decks, mahogany railings and polished brass. They operate on high-quality, low Sulphur gas. Star Clippers as a company has been around for more than 30 years. They sail in various places around the world, including the Caribbean, Central America, Panama, and across the Mediterranean. 

The particular ship that we are sailing on has just 166 guests on board. There are several different itineraries, but what I am going to experience actually starts in Venice and sails down the coast of Croatia with several different stops on four different Greek Islands. The trip finishes in Athens, Greece. These ships can sail right into the smaller ports that the big ships cannot access.

A fun fact - they were the first ship to be awarded the "International Air Pollution Prevention Certificate." In addition to exploring all the fascinating ports we will visit, I am also looking forward to partaking in some of the water sports that are available right off the back of the ship!
