The tall-ship cruise line has become the latest to install SpaceX’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite technology to allow guests and crew to experience a faster and more reliable Wi-Fi connection whilst on board.
On Saturday 8th June 2024, Star Clippers launched Starlink’s internet service on board the 3 ships in the fleet - Royal Clipper, Star Clipper and Star Flyer. The division of SpaceX - the spacecraft manufacturer and satellite communication company - allows connectivity in some of the most remote parts of the world that would have previously had compromised and inconsistent signal.

The publication remains focused on enhanced, high-value packages that have been hand-picked for those with a desire to experience unique and elevated once-in-a-lifetime holidays. It comes after the cruise line recognised an ongoing demand for ‘bucket-list’ opportunities and luxury ancillary elements alongside their popular tall-ship sailings.

The Italian town of Otranto, in the Puglia region, has been added as a new port of call for selected sailings in 2025. Southern France’s Saint Raphael is also a new addition, and Nice makes its debut as a home-port for the tall-ship cruise line.

Following the success of their popular yoga sailings, the specialist cruise line has implemented more themed sailings, including fitness training from former professional athlete Ottis Lewis in the Caribbean and a Photography cruise from Costa Rica.

The specialist cruise line is to offer a new, immersive stay in Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsular in response to increased client interest for the area. The Nicoya region is one of only five Blue Zones, renowned for longer, healthier lives than anywhere else in the world.

The brand new ‘Wickets and Waves’ offerings give guests the opportunity to sail on board one of the cruise line’s iconic tall-ships, Royal Clipper, with pre/post-cruise stays in either Antigua or Barbados for England V West Indies ODI and TDI matches.
