Our sailing trip in the Greek Islands

 

It has been such a busy year in the travel world, that I have been negligent in posting any blog articles about my own travel this year. My trips have been amazing - and I particularly wanted to share some insight into a unique sailing trip that I did with a small group of friends this summer. We took a 10 day sailing trip on the "Star Flyer", which is one of the beautiful "Star Clipper" tall mast ships. If you like adventure - this cruise line may be of interest to you.
The decor on our Star Clippers ship was reminiscent of the legendary era of sailing ships with a traditional decor with teak decks and lots of brass - but with modern amenities. The ship is 379 feet long with just 166 guests on board. The decks were quite spacious - and the sails were absolutely magnificent. We enjoyed wonderful food on board and great service!
One of the features that I really liked is that Star Clippers ships run on high quality, low sulphur gas oil. They were the first ship in the world to be awarded the "International Air Pollution Prevention Certificate".
Star Clippers offers many different itineraries - our particular trip started in Venice and then we sailed down the coast of Croatia, visited 4 different Greek Islands, and finished in Athens. If you would like more information on Star Clippers please contact me - I would be happy to tell you more about our incredible experience!
