The specialist cruise line has revealed three new ports of call for its 2024 Mediterranean sailings; Milos (Greece), Sifnos (Greece) and Porto Ercole (Tuscany, Italy). It is the first time multiple new ports of call have been announced since 2019.
Milos, labelled the ‘2022 Greek Island of the Summer’ by Conde Nast, will feature on the 11-night Suez Canal sailing on board Star Clipper in June 2024, which also includes stops in Rhodes, Santorini and Hydra. Sifnos, known for its traditional pottery and fringed by white, sandy beaches is showcased on a 14-night Rome – Athens sailing on board Star Flyer in September 2024, which is a debut itinerary for the tall-ship sailing company, comprising of firm favourites such as Sorrento, Katakolon and Mykonos.
Porto Ercole is a new addition to the cruise line’s 3-night taster sailings on board Royal Clipper, which sees the largest and only five-masted, full-rigged sailing ship cruise in and out of Rome. The small Tuscan town, which dates back to at least 1296, fits the company’s ethos of visiting unchartered gems since it is visited by only a handful of other small cruise ships.
Cruise-only prices start at £782 for a 3-night Rome sailing on board Royal Clipper, departing 19th June 2024. Price includes a 10% Early Booking Discount, valid until 31st January 2024. 20% discounts available on selected dates. Additional discounts for past passengers available.

Notes to editors:
Star Clippers operates three of the world’s largest and tallest fully-crewed sailing vessels. The ships can drop anchor in smaller harbours and visit ports often untouched by larger cruise ships and providing guests with the amenities and atmosphere of a private yacht.
High standards of service are provided by an attentive crew and all three ships have expansive teak decks, swimming pools, informal dining, a convivial Tropical Bar on deck and a comfortable piano bar and are large enough to offer first class accommodation and dining.
The two smaller ships, Star Flyer and Star Clipper take 166 guests each, with a crew of 74, while Royal Clipper carries 227 with a crew of 106.
