Our ships are small and intimate, so we can visit places not often found on cruise ship schedules. The hidden gems and unspoiled resort towns ... those calls that make each guest feel like they are visiting somewhere unique and special. The 2014 Europe season certainly delivers those experiences with several new itineraries on Star Flyer throughout the western Mediterranean. Sailing round-trip from chic ports like Monte Carlo and Cannes, or from exotic ports like Palma de Mallorca, attire for the day usually involves swim wear, a sun hat and plenty of sunscreen. If you’re a Formula One buff, be sure to join us in May for two sailings as we’re front and center for the Monaco Grand Prix. During the rest of the season, get ready for calls throughout the Balearic Islands that feature the finest beaches, memorable stretches of landscape and crystalline waters like you’ve never seen. If you’re looking to relax and get away from a hectic lifestyle, these itineraries are for you. Royal Clipper and Star Clipper join their sister-ship in the Mediterranean once again, covering the entire area on eastern and western itineraries. Royal Clipper continues its Italy, Montenegro and Croatia sailings, which are among our most popular. For guests with less time to get away, three sampler voyages are sure to give you a taste of the Star Clippers lifestyle. Greece and Turkey continue to welcome Star Clipper, making these voyages the ideal option for guests looking for a perfect combination of history, culture and fun-in-the-sun. Don’t forget to take a look at our Grand Voyages if you’re looking for a longer vacation, and those seeking a once-in-a-lifetime journey should consider our epic ocean crossings. While some of our itineraries may change each season, one thing remains the same … the Star Clippers experience. Our guests enjoy the thrill of being on an authentic tall ship while enjoying modern cruise ship amenities and luxuries that are worthy of what we call the “mega-yacht sailing experience.” Star Clippers offers vacations that feel like you’re on a private yacht with your closest friends. No long lines. No crowds. Just the perfect amount of personal service. To our new Star Clippers friends, we look forward to welcoming you on board and having you see why so many of our guests return time and time again. And to our loyal guests, we hope that our new itineraries and ports are as exciting to you as they are to all of us at Star Clippers. Sincerely, Mikael Krafft Owner and President 1 Authentic sailing adventure ~ Just 170 or 227 pampered guests ~ All the modern amenities of a private Mega-Yacht ~ International cuisine complemented by fine wines ~ Dine with whomever and whenever you want ~ Casual, relaxed ambience – no need to dress up ~ Visit off the beaten path ports of call ~ Full range of water sports ~ Sail in full harmony with the environment ~ No crowds or long lines 2 op op The Mega-Yacht Sailing Experience Star Clippers is named to the Travel + Leisure 2013 World’s Best List Best Small Ship Cruise Lines 3 Royal Clipper 00 4 R o y a l C l i p p e R The Largest Full-Rigged Sailing Ship in the World. op In 1902, the largest, fastest sailing ship the world had ever seen was launched. The legendary Preussen dominated the seas, only to be gone in a few short years. Neither before nor since had the world seen such a magnificent sailing ship. Until today… -------8------Inspired by the legendary tall ship Preussen, the Royal Clipper has the proud distinction of being the largest and only five-masted full-rigged sailing ship built since her predecessor was launched at the beginning of the last century. With her complement of 42 sails, Royal Clipper is a splendid sight to behold. You might think she was an apparition from the grand age of sail, but Royal Clipper is as new as tomorrow, boasting state-of-the-art navigation systems and every comfort and luxury one could wish for. For connoisseurs of sail cruising, the 439-foot Royal Clipper offers the ultimate sea-going experience, balancing the grandeur, adventure and tradition of sailing with the superb service, amenities and accommodations of the finest modern yacht. Royal Clipper carries just 227 guests in luxurious style. A full 19,000 square feet of open deck and three swimming pools create a wonderfully spacious and expansive outdoor environment. 5 Royal Clipper off Amalfi Coast 6 R o y a l Find your secret hideaway on one of the hidden balconies on either side of the bow. Or climb the mast (with safety harness provided) to one of the passenger lookout “crow’s nests,” thoughtfully furnished with a comfortable settee, where you’ll have the grandest view of all! Royal Clipper’s interior spaces are just as dazzling. They include a three-deck atrium that funnels sunlight into the C l i p p e R elegantly appointed, three-level dining room, featuring open-seating dining, deliciously prepared cuisine and a no-tie dress code. A convenient marina platform lowers from the stern for watersports. And the ultimate unique Royal Clipper experience, the one-of-a-kind Captain Nemo Lounge, is the site of our spa and health club with underwater glass portholes! 7 Star Clipper 8 s t a r c l i p p e r & s t a r f l y e r Romance the Wind Aboard a Tall Ship. op They are the stars of the sea. Star Clipper and Star Flyer are as fleet as the wind and as graceful as swans. -------8------- These are true clipper ships reflecting their proud heritage in every inch of their polished brass and gleaming brightwork. Step aboard these unique vessels and discover a new age of sail, where the traditions of the past are happily married to the comforts and amenities of the present day. Star Clipper and Star Flyer are modern cruise ships in every way, created for luxury-loving passengers who also love the traditions and romance of the legendary era of sailing ships. Star Clipper and Star Flyer are both 360 ft. long and each carries just 170 guests in pampered comfort. Life aboard is blissfully relaxed, much like traveling on a private yacht. You’ll never feel confined on Star Clipper or Star Flyer. Each ship offers spacious accommodations and expansive teak decks with ample space and not one, but two swimming pools. In fact, you’ll find that these ships offer more outdoor space per passenger than most conventional cruise ships. The decor of Star Clipper and Star Flyer is reminiscent of the grand age of sail. Antique prints and paintings of famous sailing ships please your eye, while teak decks and gleaming mahogany rails are richly remindful of Star Clippers’ proud nautical heritage. All Star Clippers ships feature open-seating dining in an elegantly appointed dining room, our convivial indoor-outdoor Tropical Bar and Piano Bar, and an Edwardian-style library where a Belle Époque fireplace glows with a warmth that reflects the friendliness and enthusiasm of Star Clippers’ hospitable officers and crew. 9 The Informal Elegance of Star Clippers. op Up on deck, a couple watch the sun drop slowly into the sea as gulls circle one last time in the sky. -------8------- Friends gather round the Piano Bar and join in singing a few favorites. And in the Tropical Bar, the bartender shakes a pitcherful of some delicious cooling concoction. Now, is there anything more relaxing than this? Clearly this is not a cruise ship in the ordinary sense. On Star Clippers, you will find that there are no rigid schedules. You are free to do as you wish with your days – and evenings. To entertain you, we bring local performers on board to give passengers an authentic taste of the local music and arts. 10 So rather than enduring another Broadway revue, you can enjoy the conviviality of fellow shipmates while a live band plays tropical tunes from a real paradise. The Captain and crew are superb improvisers of the kind of light-hearted fun you’ll only find on Star Clippers. The Captain’s daily briefing on deck is wonderfully informative and a chance to hear some great story-telling as well. And there are other events and activities, such as knot tying and navigation classes, that have evolved from Star Clippers’ sailing heritage. In fact, our passengers tell us that it’s the easy-going informality of Star Clippers that makes a cruise with us so enjoyable. 11 Dining Room on Royal Clipper 00 12 Continental Cuisine. Culinary Delights. op Our inspired chefs make dining aboard a delightful culinary adventure with an international menu of foods from the far corners of the earth. -------8------When you rise, help yourself to a continental breakfast with croissants, toasted English muffins or sweet Danish pastries. Or savor a full breakfast with fresh tropical fruits and crisp bacon, grilled sausage and omelettes cooked to order in the dining room. At lunch, a marvelous buffet of seafood, salads and grilled favorites awaits your pleasure. If the day includes a stop at one of the paradisiacal islands we frequent, you might also be treated to a festive outdoor barbecue on shore. When evening comes, our elegantly appointed dining room, featuring a splendid collection of paintings of sailing ships, becomes the setting for the chef’s finest culinary presentations, designed to please the eye and the palate. And complemented by equally fine wines. You’ll find our service to be friendly and gracious, befitting a tasteful restaurant. Of course, we would not presume to dictate your seating preferences. On all three ships, you are free to dine when and with whomever you wish – including officers, who join our guests in the dining room most nights. The dress code? No need for formal gowns and black tie, casual elegance is the order of the day and every single night. 13 Gracious Service. Rest Assured. op There’s nothing so easy and pleasurable as falling asleep to the gentle rhythms of the ship and sea – unless it’s awakening refreshed the next morning to a new-born day! -------8------Like a fine resort, all the amenities are here: double bed or twin beds that can be converted to queen, marble bathroom, private safe, television with in-house video, DVD player, direct-dial telephone, hairdryer and comfortable furnishings. The decor is tastefully traditional. You’ll find the accouterments of a luxurious classic yacht, where everything is ingeniously designed for comfort, ease and efficiency. Burnished brass fittings and 14 mahogany brightwork recall our nautical heritage. Soft natural fabrics reflect the colors of the sun, sea and sky. Prints of famous clipper ships and sailing yachts grace the walls. Everything is immaculately maintained and your steward knows exactly when to appear or disappear. On Royal Clipper, 14 deluxe suites offer the ultimate in cruising comfort, with private verandah, whirlpool tub and 24-hour room service. All but six of her 98 cabins are outside, and for the ultimate indulgence, two 355-square-foot owner’s suites may be combined to accommodate up to eight guests. All in all, your Star Clippers cabin or suite is a perfectly arranged abode for daydreams and nights of blissful rest and relaxation. Deluxe Suite on Royal Clipper 15 16 H o n e y m o o n a n d s p e c i a l o c c a s i o n s Lifetime Celebrations With Memories That Live Forever op Ready to celebrate? Whether it’s your honeymoon, a milestone birthday or anniversary, a family reunion, a special club or corporate gathering or other significant event, Star Clippers is the inspired choice. After all, what could be more romantic – or memorable – than sailing away on a magnificent tall ship to distant lands? Aboard Star Clippers, special celebrations become extraordinary occasions, because we are dedicated to making each moment superlative. Family reunions, club or special-interest groups and corporate events are treated with the same care and attention to detail that you would expect from a fine hotel or resort. Be sure to contact us well ahead of your cruise, because you’ll find that we can offer some great ideas and original touches to make your gathering even more rewarding. Whether it’s a cocktail party, a dinner or seminar on board or a special excursion on shore, Star Clippers can take care of your needs. Honeymooners can relax in perfect privacy. There’s a complimentary bottle of champagne and plate of treats, and a special gift and certificate signed by the Captain offered to all honeymooners who have proof of their marriage within three months of their sailing date. If you are searching for the perfect way to begin your lives together, a Star Clippers honeymoon offers an idyllic combination of adventure and romance in a setting that inspires hearts. 17 Positano, Italy 18 R o y a l C l i p p e R ~ W e s t e R n M e d i t e R R a n e a n Sun-drenched Sicily, the Amalf Coast, Croatia and the Dalmatian Coast. op The Jewel of the Mediterranean -------8------Justly famed for its sparkling capitals, ancient civilizations and cultured ambience, Royal Clipper’s Mediterranean is a world of mythical and tranquil seas, soaring mountains, medieval villages and sun-warmed beaches. Seven-Night Cruises – Royal Clipper continues her sailings from Rome’s port of Civitavecchia, cruises that include sun-drenched Sicily, stops throughout the volcanic Aeolian Islands, the Italian Pontine Islands and routes along Italy’s romantic Amalf Coast. In fall, sail round-trip Venice on a unique exploration to Adriatic jewels in Montenegro, Croatia and Slovenia — countries that are now top travel destinations. 10- & 11-Night Cruises between Rome & Venice – The Croatian Coast is an exciting sailing region for Royal Clipper. Put yourself in a magical place of ancient Roman ruins, idyllic ports and myth-making islands lost in time. Where tall cypresses, olive groves and hilltop villages remind you of Italian hill towns. And more precious treasures abound in medieval walled cities that have miraculously survived through centuries of attack and siege. It is a country that is more sea than land, birthplace of generations of sailors and adventurers, including Marco Polo. Here fshermen still bring in the catch every day and seafood never sees a freezer before being served at your table! This is the enchanted Istrian and Dalmatian Coast of Croatia, and it is richly deserving of your discovery. Join us as we explore an unsurpassed enclave of the Adriatic Sea combining the best of the ancient and new, the alluring archipelagos and coastline of Croatia. 19 W e s t e r n M e d i t e r r a n e a n Royal ClippeR iTaly, MoNTeNeGRo & CRoaTia 10 NiGHTS Venice Venice Rovinj Civitavecchia iTaly, MoNTeNeGRo & CRoaTia 11 NiGHTS Hvar Dubrovnik Kotor Piran Rovinj Civitavecchia Hvar Pontine Islands Sorrento Amalfi Dubrovnik Civitavecchia Kotor Capri Palmarola Sorrento Palmarola Sorrento Taormina Venice, Italy Rovinj, Croatia Hvar, Croatia Dubrovnik, Croatia Kotor, Montenegro Corfu, Greece At Sea Taormina - Sicily, Italy Sorrento, Italy (Optional Tour Capri or Pompeii) Ponza (morning) – Ponzian Island, Italy Palmarola (afternoon) – Ponzian Island, Italy Sat Civitavecchia (Port of Rome), Italy 2014 DEPARTURES: July 2, 23 ~ August 13 (sails Wed-Sat) October 11 (sails Sat-Tue) Aeolian Islands Corfu Corfu Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri aMalFi CoaST & SiCily 7 NiGHTS Taormina Sat Civitavecchia (Port of Rome), Italy Sun Palmarola, Italy (morning) & Ponza, Italy (afternoon) Mon Sorrento, Italy (Optional Tour Capri or Pompeii) Tue Taormina, Sicily – Italy Wed At Sea Thu Corfu, Greece Fri Kotor, Montenegro Sat Dubrovnik, Croatia Sun Hvar, Croatia Mon Rovinj, Croatia Tue Piran, Slovenia Wed Venice, Italy 2014 DEPARTURES: June 21 ~ July 12 ~ August 2, 23 Taormina Sat Civitavecchia (Port of Rome), Italy Sun Palmarola, Italy (morning) & Ponza, Italy (afternoon) Mon Sorrento, Italy (Optional tour Capri or Pompeii), Italy Tue Amalf, Italy Wed Taormina - Sicily, Italy Thu Lipari & Stromboli (evening cruising) - Aeolian Islands, Italy Fri At Sea Sat Civitavecchia (Port of Rome), Italy 2014 DEPARTURES: May 3, 10, 17, 24, 31 ~ June 7, 14 CRoaTia & MoNTeNeGRo 7 NiGHTS Venice Piran Rovinj Hvar Dubrovnik Kotor Hellenic Temple, Corfu, Greece 20 Sat Venice, Italy Sun At Sea Mon Kotor, Montenegro Tue Dubrovnik, Croatia Wed Hvar, Croatia Thu Rovinj, Croatia Fri Piran, Slovenia Sat Venice, Italy 2014 DEPARTURES: September 6, 13, 20, 27 ~ October 4 W e s t e r n M e d i t e r r a n e a n Royal ClippeR Royal Clipper off the coast of Capri Select your sailing date & discount below (APD).

One of the world’s grandest casinos welcomes visitors from around the globe. Tucked between French medieval villages and the Alps, Monte Carlo is the playground of the rich and famous, and the new summer homeport of Star Flyer. This dazzling city is known as one of opulence and extravagance, with an exciting collection of sites, favors and attractions. Star Flyer will be front and center during the Grand Prix in May, one of the most breathtaking sport spectacles of the year. As the ship explores the western Mediterranean, the beautiful Balearic Islands take center stage with their crystalline waters, golden beaches and serene lifestyle. Each of the four islands has its own distinct personality ranging from laid-back to lively. Mallorca is picturesque and Menorca is tranquil, while Ibiza is known to have thrown a good party or two. Formentera is relaxed and inviting. Rich in history and scenic diversity, Corsica is for beach lovers, adventurers and culture buffs. The birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte and Christopher Columbus, Corsica is endowed with Roman ruins and quiet fshing villages. Resembling a miniature continent, its stretches of shoreline jut out of the sea like a fortress. Hugging the coast, Star Flyer makes an appearance at the hottest ports along the French Riviera. From chic St. Tropez with fashionista sun-worshippers to Cannes, home to the world-famous flm festival, the ship’s stunning silhouette adds to the region’s charm. 25 W e s t e r n M e d i t e r r a n e a n STAR FLYER MONACO GRAND PRIX & SAMPLERS TYRRHENIAN & GRAND PRIX TRIALS 7 NIGHTS Lerici Monte Carlo Cannes Portoferraio St. Tropez LIGURIAN & GRAND PRIX FINAL 7 NIGHTS Monte Carlo Cannes St. Tropez Sanary-sur-Mer L’lle Rousse Scandola Nature Reserve Calvi Figari Beach Bonifacio Bonifacio Sat Sun Mon Cannes, France Calvi, Corsica – France Figari Beach, Corsica – France (morning) Bonifacio, Corsica – France (afternoon) Sailing the Strait of Bonifacio (evening) Tue Portoferraio, Elba – Italy Wed Lerici, Italy (Optional Tour Cinque Terre or Pisa) Thu Monte Carlo, Monaco (Grand Prix Trials) Fri St. Tropez, France (beach stop & town) Cannes, France Sat 2014 DEPARTURES: May 17 FRANCE & CORSICA 3 NIGHTS Monte Carlo Cannes St. Tropez Wed Cannes, France Thu L’lle Rousse / St. Florent, Corsica – France Fri St. Tropez, France (beach stop & town) Sat Monte Carlo, Monaco 2014 DEPARTURES: September 24 26 Sat Sun Mon Tue Cannes, France Monte Carlo, Monaco (Grand Prix) L’lle Rousse / St. Florent, Corsica – France Figari Beach, Corsica – France (morning) Bonifacio, Corsica – France (overnight) Wed Porto, Corsica – France (morning) Scandola Nature Reserve (afternoon sailing) Thu Porquerolles, Iles d’Hyeres – France Sanary-sur-Mer, France Fri St. Tropez, France (beach stop & town) Sat Monte Carlo, Monaco 2014 DEPARTURES: May 24 MONACO, CORSICA & ITALY 4 NIGHTS Monte Carlo Cannes L’lle Rousse Figari Beach Rapallo Calvi Sat Cannes, France Sun Monte Carlo, Monaco Mon Calvi, Corsica Tue Rapallo, Italy (Optional Ferry to Portofno) Wed Cannes, France 2014 DEPARTURES: September 20 W e s t e r n M e d i t e r r a n e a n STAR FLYER MONACO GRAND PRIX & SAMPLERS Monte Carlo, Monaco Select your sailing date & discount below (APD).

Their craggy faces are etched by long days at sea, toiling under the same sun that rose and set for eons over their ancestors … -------8-------Long ago, these islands were the landing places of an endless tide of invaders from far-off lands. From ancient Phoenicia, Persia, the Peloponnesus, Imperial Rome and Constantinople they came, followed by waves of European Crusader knights, Genoan mariners, Venetian merchants and turbanned Turkish troops of the Ottoman Empire. They stormed ashore to conquer – only to be vanquished by time and absorbed into the dry volcanic earth. All that remains are their stone ruins, ghostly shapes wrapped in myth and mystery. Today the Cyclades are an inviting playground for pleasure seekers aboard Star Clipper. Where white-washed churches point tilted Greek crosses heavenward in skies of brilliant blue, while sun worshippers bask on the beaches under Helios’ golden gaze. Twisting cobblestone alleyways lead to tavernas where octopus salad and ouzo are in order. Ancient Minoan palaces and medieval fortresses whisper tales of pagan rites and knightly rituals. In hidden coves, Star Clipper fnds harbors where pristine sands and warm crystalline waters beckon you to explore underwater grottos while beachgoers laze away under sun-blessed skies, yet another dream-like day in the mythic, magical Cyclades. After exploring the historic Cyclades, two Star Clipper sailings continue up the Adriatic Sea to Venice. Before reaching Venice, you’ll explore four alluring stops along the coast of Croatia and a call at Kotor, Montenegro. 37 E a s t E r n M E d i t E r r a n E a n Star Clipper ~ GreeK iSleS, tUrKeY & Croatia DeliGHtFUl DerViSHeS 7 niGHtS YaCHtMan’S paraDiSe 7 niGHtS Istanbul Ouranopolis SiCilY & GreeCe 7 niGHtS Istanbul Mount Athos Skopelos Skiathos Canakkale Canakkale Myrina Athens Dikili Athens Athens Poros Mykonos Syracuse Camlimani Kusadasi Patmos Kos Sat Istanbul, Turkey Sun Canakkale, Turkey (Optional Tour Troy) Mon Myrina (Limnos), Greece Tue Sail by monasteries on Mount Athos (am), Ouranopolis, Greece Wed Skiathos, Greece Thu Skopelos, Greece Poros, Greece Fri Sat Athens, Greece 2014 DEPARTURES: May 10 ~ June 21 ~ August 2 ~ September 6 nortHern CYClaDeS 7 niGHtS Sat Sun Mon Tue Wed Athens, Greece Mykonos, Greece Kos, Greece Patmos, Greece Camlimani (morning beach stop), Kusadasi, Turkey (afternoon) (Optional Tour Ephesus) Thu Dikili, Turkey (Optional Tour Pergamon) Fri Canakkale, Turkey (Optional Tour Troy) Sat Istanbul, Turkey 2014 DEPARTURES: May 3 ~ June 14 ~ July 26 ~ August 30 SoUtHern CYClaDeS 7 niGHtS Hydra Katakolon Mykonos Monemvasia Malta Sat Valletta, Malta Sun Syracuse, Sicily Mon At Sea Tue Katakolon, Greece (Optional Tour Olympia) Wed Monemvasia, Greece Thu Mykonos, Greece Hydra, Greece Fri Sat Athens, Greece 2014 DEPARTURES: April 26 GreeCe & SiCilY 5 niGHtS Athens Athens Camlimani Mykonos Hydra Kusadasi Dalyan River Patmos Santorini Monemvasia Sat Sun Mon 38 Athens Bodrum Rhodes Amorgos Athens, Greece At Sea Camlimani (morning beach stop), Kusadasi, Turkey (afternoon) (Optional Tour Ephesus) Tue Patmos, Greece Wed Amorgos, Greece Thu Mykonos, Greece Fri Monemvasia, Greece Sat Athens, Greece 2014 DEPARTURES: May 17, 31 ~ July 19 ~ August 16 ~ October 4 Sat Athens, Greece Sun At Sea Mon Rhodes, Greece Tue Bodrum, Turkey Wed Dalyan River, Turkey Thu Santorini, Greece Fri Hydra, Greece Sat Athens, Greece 2014 DEPARTURES: May 24 ~ June 7 ~ August 9, 23 ~ October 11 Syracuse Pilos Malta Sat Athens, Greece Sun Monemvasia, Greece Mon Pilos, Greece Tue At Sea Wed Syracuse, Sicily Thu Valletta, Malta 2014 DEPARTURES: October 18 Monemvasia E a s t E r n M E d i t E r r a n E a n Star Clipper ~ GreeK iSleS, tUrKeY & Croatia Select your sailing date & discount below (APD).

Only select itineraries are worthy of the title “Grand.” -------8------- Thoughtfully planned, interestingly diverse, uniquely Star Clippers. A Grand Voyage is a journey of splendid proportions. Set sail on an in-depth exploration to some of the most intimate and exclusive destinations in the Mediterranean. With extended itineraries ranging from 12 to 18 glorious nights and calls at an interesting collection of ports — including many new stops this season— our guests are able to explore several countries in one sailing and become deeply immersed in the culture, beauty and history of the region. Imagine visiting seven countries during a single sailing. Star Clipper sets sail from Lisbon on a 17-night itinerary that call at ports in Portugal, Morocco, Spain, Tunisia, Italy, Malta and Greece. Or perhaps an island-hopping journey on Star Flyer to the stunning Balearics and Corsica will whet your appetite for adventure. Star Clipper sails the longest Grand Voyage of the season. Our 18-night journey spans from the shores of Turkey to 10 ports in Greece, with calls at Montenegro, Croatia and Italy along the way. An equally enticing 12-night itinerary on Royal Clipper explores Italy, Corsica, the Balearics, Spain and three ports in northern Africa in the fall when the climate cools and the crowds dwindle. 43 G R A N D V O Y A G E S ROYAL CLIPPER SPAIn, ITALY & SICILY 12 nIghTS SPAIn, MOROCCO & PORTUgAL 12 nIghTS Civitavecchia CROATIA, MOnTEnEgRO, SICILY & ITALY 14 nTS.

Rome, Italy 49 op 50 A transatlantic crossing on a Tall Ship is the fondest dream of anyone who loves sailing. But unless you know how to chart a course by celestial navigation or scramble up a tall mast, your chances of realizing that dream were nil, until Star Clippers. Aboard Royal Clipper, Star Clipper or Star Flyer, you can know the thrill of traversing a great ocean under sail, without any skills or effort on your part. Imagine long lazy days at sea. The time-out-of-mind sensation of watching the water slip under the bow, of gazing at a horizon that is 360 degrees wide, of feeling the steadying power of sails as they capture the energy of the wind and thrust your ship through the vast expanse of ocean. In all the world, there is no experience as wonderfully renewing and invigorating. Make this your year for the ultimate in sailing. A transatlantic crossing aboard Star Clippers.

See the art collection at Palais de Fesch and the elaborate chandeliers in the Ajaccio Cathedral. Enjoy the view of the beautiful harbor or relax on the honey sand at St. Francois beach. For a souvenir, pick up some handmade myrtle, rosemary or lavender soap in the local shops. amalf, Italy During the Middle Ages, Amalf was a powerful republic of 70,000 people, rivaling nearby Ravello. For a sense of Amalf’s medieval glory, wander through the grand Duomo, containing the remains of St. Andrew. Or visit nearby Positano, said to be the most beautiful town in the Mediterranean. amorgós, Greece Amorgós’ cliff-clinging monastery of Hozoviotissas has one of the most spectacular locations of any in Greece. Only a few monks live in the cavernous 50-room monastery, but the view from their terrace aerie might make you think they had all fown to heaven from this very spot. arrecife, lanzarote, canary Islands, spain The volcano-pocked landscape of Lanzarote, the northernmost of the Canary Islands, might remind you of the moon. The center of Arrecife, Lanzarote’s picturesque seaside capital, is called the puddle, an odd reference on this desert-like island where camels are a form of local transport. In the 16th century Castillo San Gabriel, discover the story of the Guanche, the original inhabitants of the islands. Or explore the underground volcanic grottoes in La Cueva de los Verdes. athens, Greece Walking in the shadow of the Acropolis in the Agora, you can almost hear the voices of Plato, Socrates and Aristotle arguing about who was the greatest philosopher. Ancient Athens, the birthplace of democracy and epicenter of western civilization, is a city for all eternity. o r t s o f c a l l Barcelona, spain The capital and cultural hub of the Catalonia region, Barcelona is Spain’s second largest city and one of the Mediterranean’s busiest ports. The medieval atmosphere of the Gothic Quarter combined with mosaic-paved Las Ramblas make the city one of Europe’s most beautiful. No visit to Barcelona would be complete without a tour of architect Antonio Gaudi’s unfnished masterpiece, Church of La Sagrada Familia, and Montserrat, the 1,000-year-old Benedictine Abbey surrounded by mountains and home to the Bodrum, Turkey Bonifacio, corsica Bonifacio’s almost landlocked harbor is one of the most dramatic totally protected harbors, a bustling port with excellent seafood restaurants and a modern marina. The ancient citadel town is perched high atop a seemingly impenetrable granite cliff. Bridgetown, Barbados On the wild and rugged east coast of Barbados, the isolated beaches are the color of sunrise, the red sands having blown all the way across the Atlantic from the Sahara. The easternmost island of the Windwards, and indeed, of the entire Caribbean, reaches out to Africa and the Old World, as if not quite part of the New. Bridgetown, Barbados, is an interesting town full of contrasts. George Washington actually slept here! Trafalgar Square reminds you that the laidback, rum- and fun-loving island’s British-infuenced heritage includes revered traditions like cricket and high tea. cadiz, spain Cadiz, called ‘‘the cup of silver,’’ is almost African in appearance – its streets are lined with palm trees, its churches topped with dome-like cupolas. Take advantage of our optional tours to Seville, the irresistible capital and cultural center of Andalusia. calvi, corsica Napoleon once said that he could recognize his native island blindfolded because of the wonderful perfume of the maquis. Approaching by sea, it is the frst thing you experience about Corsica. The second is its wild and mountainous landscape. Nearby are secluded beaches and the eerie Grottes des Veaux Marins, offering fantastic diving opportunities. famed “Black Madonna.” Art lovers will delight in the Picasso Museum that features more than 3,800 works by the artist. Bodrum, turkey Known in ancient times as Halicarnassus, this was the birthplace of Herodotus and the site of King Mausolu’s Tomb (4th century BC), one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. camlimani, turkey Near Kusadasi, on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, a small bay shelters a private resort where guests can enjoy a myriad of watersports and other amenities. Swim at the beach or in the enormous pool. Snorkel or enjoy a drink at the pool bar, stroll the pine-scented grounds, or have a run at the rides in the aquapark. 57 p o r t s o f c a l l Corfu, Greece canakkale, turkey Facing squarely across the Dardanelles to confront the imposing mass of Kilitbahir Fortress, Canakkale reminds you that this area has been a place of confict since the time of the Trojan War. In Gallipoli (Gelibolu), the bodies of 22,000 Allied forces lie buried, the result of Ataturk’s ferce attack on Anzac troops in one of the bloodiest battles of World War I. Nearby Troy (Truva), uncovered by archeologist Heinrich Schliemann in 1871, was of course the site of the most famous siege in history. Time has eroded most of the 3,500-year-old ruins, but you can imagine what Priam felt as he faced Achilles’ invading Greek army. capri, Italy Capri, where Emperor Tiberius held notorious bacchanals at his imperial villa, has gradually become one of the most popular resorts in southern Italy. Famous for its scenery and climate, Capri is a garden of Eden teeming with vegetation despite the rocky landscape. 58 cartagena, spain Located on the Murcia coast, this walled Mediterranean port city is one of Spain’s bestkept secrets. Under King Philip II, Cartagena’s naturally deep, sheltered harbor was developed into the nation’s premier naval base, a position it still enjoys today. Explore the remains of the mythical Roman theater of Carthago Nova that was “lost” for 6,000 years and discovered by chance in 1987. History buffs will want to explore the lost treasures of centuries-old artifacts recovered along the Spanish coast and go on a journey through the sea trade and maritime history of the region at the National Museum of Underwater Archaeology. casablanca, Morocco Veiled by overlapping mantles of French, Arabian and African culture, Casablanca reveals new faces at every turn. The enormous Hassan II Mosque (holding 70,000 worshippers) is the new Morocco, while the fanciful Mauresque buildings in the Medina impart visions of prewar Casablanca. civitavecchia (rome), Italy St. Peter’s, with its breathtaking Sistine Chapel, newly restored to its former glory; the Spanish Steps, where all Rome passes by; the Colosseum, where gladiators fought to the death, and the Pantheon, considered to be the most perfect architectural statement of the ages. corfu, Greece The lushest (and some say the loveliest) of all the Greek Islands, Corfu lies just a stone’s throw from the Albanian coast. Nowhere is the stunning natural beauty of Corfu more evident than in the small village of Paleocastritsa, where legend says Odysseus was washed ashore to be rescued by Nausicaa. costa smeralda, sardinia Sardinia is a rugged, earth-toned land inhabited by an ancient people who have changed little since the Dark Ages. The Costa Smeralda (Emerald Coast) is a beautiful resort area developed by the Aga Khan, and in direct contrast to the surrounding countryside. p Dalyan river, turkey At frst glance, this is a picture one hardly expects to see in Turkey – a lovely, unspoiled lake teeming with fsh, a lush marshy delta, verdant farmlands, a lazy, reed-fringed river meandering into the sea. On shore you can see ruins of the Lycian city of Caunos, with its basilica and fortifcations looming over the green marsh where endangered Caretta loggerhead turtles hatch in the spring. Dikili, Greece (tour pergamum) Dikili is a sleepy little beach town, authentically Turkish. The harbor is lined with open-air restaurants and shops with local food specialties. Nearby, Pergamum is worth a visit, especially for its two main monuments: the Acropolis perched at a height of 919 feet and the Asklepion. Dubrovnik, croatia It was George Bernard Shaw who said, “Those who seek paradise on earth should come to Dubrovnik.” Indeed, Dubrovnik is a treasure by any measure made more precious by its miraculous restoration. Crowned by the Minceta Tower, the 10th-century city walls are the proud symbol of Dubrovnik’s colorful history. o r t s o f c a l l funchal, Madeira, portugal The British have a soft spot in their hearts for Madeira. Since before the Napoleonic Wars, Funchal has been a favorite R&R stop for British holidaymakers. Madeira’s terrain is impossibly steep, interrupted frequently by cascading waterfalls and covered in lush greenery and fowers. Everyone who visits Madeira has to take the careening sled ride from Monte to Funchal. Gibraltar Known for its famous rock, the British territory of Gibraltar lies at the tip of the Iberian Peninsula, offering stunning views of Algeciras Bay and the Moroccan mountains. Take a cable car to the top of the rock and stop along the way to see the Barbary apes, or enjoy a day at the beach. Hammamet, tunisia From behind high walled gardens, the sweet scent of jasmine wafts into the air of Hammamet, to mix with the tantalizing aroma of spices and leather in the souks of the old medina. Situated just south of the Cap Bon Peninsular, this “St. Tropez of Tunisia” has been a favoured haunt of celebrated visitors from the 1920’s. Today, in addition to bargains in the bazaars, it’s the fabulous beaches that attract visitors, plus the chance to tour Carthage. Hvar, croatia The heavenly scent of lavender perfumes the air in the felds and valleys around the island of Hvar.

Hydra, Greece Hydra is a town of stately mansions all built around 1800 by blockade runners who had made fortunes outwitting the British during the Napoleonic Wars. As there are no cars, to see the spectacular view from the Monastery of Ilias you’ll have to ride a donkey to the top. Ibiza, Balearic Islands, spain Ibiza is a place where people hang out because they can let it all hang out. Except for the medieval walls, you could almost think it was the Med’s version of Key West. But away from the bustle of town, some lovely beaches await. Hammamet, Tunisia 59 p Istanbul, turkey Throughout thousands of years Istanbul’s geographic position has maintained its importance. Today it is a huge metropolis connecting continents, cultures and religions, and is home to 11 million people and one of the greatest business and cultural centers of the region. Katakolon, Greece The beach at little Katakolon is an inviting diversion, but you will surely want to go inland to Olympia for bigger game.

Walk through the sacred Temples of Zeus and Hera, stand on the still-visible starting line in the stadium and imagine the chariots about to hurtle around the Hippodrome. Korcula, croatia Framed by dense green forests of allepo pine and twisted cypress, the red tile roofs of Korcula, whose most famous native son was Marco Polo, form an inviting picture. The pale wheat-colored stone Cathedral of St. Mark houses a treasure trove of Dalmatian and Italian art. Walk through the towering Land Gate for a great view of the town. Kos, Greece Kos was the home of Hippocrates, and near the old Kastro (castle) of the Knights of St. John there stands an ancient plane tree which is purported to be from the time of the famous physician. Kos abounds with famous ruins, but perhaps the best known is the Asklepian, where Hippocrates taught the healing arts. Known for its curative powers and featuring therapeutic treatments and a soothing environment, it was the original model for today’s spas. Kotor, Boka fjord, Montenegro This stunning rock-walled chasm splitting the coastal mountains of Montenegro is the longest arm of the sea in Southern Europe. Boka harbors one of the prettiest unspoiled towns you’ll ever see, the medieval city of Kotor. Founded by the Romans, fortifed during the Byzantine era, then 60 56 o r t s o f c a l l ruled by Venice for much of its history, Kotor has been naturally preserved by its isolation. Kusadasi, turkey (tour Ephesus) Kusadasi is a popular Turkish port of call, as not only is it a bustling resort town full of shops, bars and restaurants, but it is also the main access point for the famous archeological site at Ephesus. Extensive excavations have revealed an ancient city through which visitors can now wander and observe the wonders of a bygone civilization.

Its lunar landscape and exotic vegetation take you to a new world. lerici, Italy Lord Byron, a Lerici literary resident, once swam across what is now called the “Golfo dei Poeti.” The small fshing villages of San Terenzo, Tellaro and Fiascherino and Montemarcello are similar to the more famous Cinque Terre. Optional tours to Pisa or Cinque Terre are available. lipari, aeolian Islands, Italy Italy’s seven volcanic Aeolian Islands, just off the north coast of Sicily, are obviously a place favored by the gods.

As Royal Clipper & Star Clipper sail past Isola Strómboli, watch the sky for frequent volcanic freworks. lisbon, portugal The capital of Portugal since its conquest from the Moors in 1147, Lisbon is a legendary city with over 20 centuries of history. Spreading out along the right bank of the Tagus, its downtown, the Baixa, is located in the 18th-century area around Rossio. The Alfama, one of the oldest quarters in Lisboa, still retains much of its original layout since it largely survived the earthquake of 1755. l’Ile rousse, corsica Crowded with yachts fying burgees hailing from the world’s most prestigious yacht clubs, the harbor of St. Florent is a regatta of colours. Take an excursion to the peninsula of Cap Corse, where medieval watchtowers dot the cliff tops every few miles. p Mahon, Menorca, spain You can see why Lord Nelson choose this spot as the base for the British Mediterranean feet during the Napoleonic Wars. Imagine dozens of ships of the line being ftted out for battle in this historic harbor. Mahon’s heritage also includes the invention of mayonnaise and the frst distillation of gin from juniper berries. Malaga, spain Malaga’s fortress palace of the Alcazaba and the Castillo de Gibralfaro are splendid examples of Moorish architecture. But it is in Granada that you can see the most romantic and magnifcent expression of the Arabesque style in the glorious Alhambra Palace. Mali losinj, croatia The warm sands of Cikat Bay are an irresistible magnet for beachgoers. And no wonder, the beach is 30 kilometers long and offers every watersport imaginable. In the fortifed town of Veli Losinj, climb the 16th-century tower and hear the history of the Uskoks, warrior refugees from the Turkish invasion who fed in 1526 to the coastal islands to start new lives under Hapsburg protection. Monemvasia, Greece From the shore, it’s a big rock sticking out into the sea. Then you pass over the causeway, and through an iron fortress gate, and suddenly, the town of Monemvasia is before you, a perfectly preserved Byzantine fortifed port, once 60,000 strong, now home to just a few hundred. You can readily see why the name Monemvasia means single entrance! In the rocky hills above, ancient Byzantine ruins loom over the town, while below a maze of red tiled roofs and twisting alleys hide tavernas and cafes and the home of revered Greek poet Yannis Ritsos. Monte carlo, Monaco Monaco is the fabled domain of princes and movie stars. The magnifcent Palais du Prince and opulent casinos remind you of an elegant, pre-war era. o r t s o f c a l l With more wealth concentrated in one small area than almost any place on earth, this principality retains its gilt-edged allure. Smaller than New York’s Central Park, Monaco might be demure in size but makes up for it in opulence. The very essence of the Riviera with its couture fashion, overfowing wealth and fashy nightlife. Motril, spain The town of Motril is located in the Spanish region of Andalucia on the Costa Tropical. Nestling at the foothills of the Sierra Lujar Mykonos, Greece mountains, the town’s coastal strip includes two main beaches – the busy Playa Poniente and the quieter Playa Granada. Mykonos, Greece One of the most cosmopolitan of all the Greek Islands, Mykonos is a contrast of rocky hills and beautiful beaches. Hora, the capital, spreads around a colorful harbor, a popular meeting place overlooked by a variety of tavernas, where fshing boats nestle side by side with luxury yachts. Myrina, limnos, Greece It was Zeus who hurled Hephaestus from Mt. Olympus to land on Limnos, leaving the god of metalworking with a permanent limp. Perhaps he was nursed to health by excellent red and white wines (fortifed or not) grown on Limnos’ volcanic soils. The town of Myrina sits under the winding white ramparts of the Kastro, built in 1186. ouranoupolis, Greece The picturesque village of Ouranoupolis, “City of the Heavens,” lies at the threshold of the unique community of Mount Athos. Its imposing landmark, the fortifed Byzantine tower that nests on the rocks at the seafront, is the largest monumental structure in Halkidiki. The beauty of Ouranoupolis is in its long sandy beaches, the lonesome coves and the deserted islets waiting to be discovered. palma, Mallorca, spain Towering over the harbor, Palma’s enormous Gothic cathedral is a powerful symbol of the religious fervor that gripped all of Spain shortly after the defeat of the Moors. Built by Jaumé I, its vast open nave and soaring Gothic columns have been added over the centuries. Behind the cathedral, a maze of twisting streets leads to designer boutiques and open-air markets. palamos, spain Nestled on the Costa Brava, guests can soak up the sun and relax on one of the area’s many beautiful beaches with crystal-clear waters and a rich variety of sea life.

Visit the San Silverio Shrine with a view that overlooks the ocean or dive in the crystal-clear sea teaming with fsh. pantelleria, Italy Only 35 miles from the shoulder of Africa, Pantelleria hasn’t been discovered by tourists. However, celebrities such as Madonna and Georgio Armani have made it their destination.

The fishing village of Gadir contains several of the distinctive dome-topped houses called dammuso and the hills are dotted with strange Neolithic funeral mounds called sesi. patmos, Greece This serene island is known as the site of the apocalyptic revelations of St. John the Divine. The cave where he is said to have lived is now the site of the Monastery of the Apocalypse. It houses priceless icons and manuscripts in its treasury. pilos, Greece Homer’s “Wise King Nestor” was very wise indeed to build his magnifcent palace near Pilos. For the city’s harbor of Navarino Bay and the landlocked lake that was the original harbor were a perfect refuge from storms – and invaders. And it was at this site on October 20, 1827, with the help of Britain, Russia and France, that modern Greece attained independence, defeating the Turkish navy in the Battle of Navarino Bay. piran, slovenia At the tip of the Piran Peninsula sits Slovenia’s hidden gem. Despite its modest size, Piran boasts some the country’s fnest architecture, history and cuisine.

Happily, there are few tourists here, so it’s a delight to wander through the unspoiled town. poros, saronic Islands, Greece It’s barely a hop, skip and a jump from the Argolid Peninsula to the island of Poros, sometimes called Kaválria. Greece’s naval academy is here, and visitors can hear the cadets’ marching band every morning. The views from the Temple of Poseidon are eternal, which may be why the doomed orator Demosthenes chose to end his life here. Take a water taxi to Galatas for excursions to the fragrant lemon groves of Lemonodhássos or venture inland to ancient Troezen or Epidauros. porquerolles, Hyéres Islands, france The island’s little town was created as a retirement community for Napoleon’s troops - making it the world’s frst “Sun City.” Today, Porquerolles is a destination for nature lovers, who hike the hills covered in sage, myrtle, and oddly exotic plants to a magnifcent white sand beach. portimao, algarve coast, portugal The city of Portimao, the beach resort Praia da Rocha, and the nature reserve Ria de Alvor are the most well- known places of an Algarve region quite unique in its diversity.

Optional excursions to chic Capri or historic Pompei where the ashen remains of ancient Romans lie frozen in time. stromboli, Italy Only 40,000 years old and continuously exploding with Fourth of July pyrotechnics, it’s hard to believe that people manage to live on Stromboli, but residing in the shadow of an erupting volcano doesn’t seem to disturb the residents of this island in the least. p o r t s o f c a l l Tunis, Tunisia tangier, Morocco Tangier was the real model for the famous American flm “Casablanca” with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. It still retains its faded mongrel charm – not entirely Moroccan, European or African but a heady mix of all three. taormina, sicily, Italy Barreling under full sail through the narrow Strait of Messina past Scylla and Charybdis, where rock and whirlpool almost claimed Ulysses, you arrive in lovely Taormina.

Nearby lies a Cemetery holding 2841 North American war dead from WWII. Valletta, Malta The Knights of St. John put Malta on the map in 1565 when they withstood an invasion of 30,000 Turks with only 700 Knights.
