This seven-night itinerary Leeward Islands, sailing round trip out of St. Maarten, enjoying the beauty of the Caribbean and stopping at charming islands including Dominica, Iles de Saintes and St Barts.
Step aboard the Star Flyer, a true clipper ship, and discover the new age of sailing!
The Star Flyer is a modern cruise ship created for luxury-loving passengers. It is 115 metres long and each carries just 166 guests in pampered comfort. Life aboard is blissfully relaxed, much like travelling on a private yacht. You’ll never feel confined on the Star Flyer.
Our sailings sell out quickly, and while we do keep a waitlist, cancellations are rare, once you’re on board, no one wants to give up their spot on such a unique sailing experience.
Welcome to the smallest island in the world shared by two countries. St. Martin/St. Maarten is big on shopping. Whether you go Dutch in Philipsburg or prefer Marigot’s French touch, you’re always welcome.
Nevis is the kind of place you wish they wouldn’t write about because you’d like to keep it all to yourself. The island is dotted with old sugar plantations, some of them now turned into charming inns, many with interesting histories. Dominated by the perilously steep cliffs of Mt. Scenery, this small Dutch island didn’t even have a road around it until 1951. But the diving is definitely out of this world.
Star Flyer meets Royal Clipper South of Iles des Saintes and the two ships sail together.
Dominica is a dream-like island, full of surprises. Glide through a steamy orchid-festooned rainforest in a fascinating boat ride or hike to breathtaking Trafalgar Falls and a bubbling lake.
Les Saintes is a thoroughly entrancing group of islands lying off Guadeloupe. You’ll enjoy the superb beaches, snorkelling, diving and other watersports on offer.
Guadeloupe looks like a butterfly from the air. Its giant wings are actually two islands, separated by the Rivière Salée, a natural salt water channel. Basse Terre, the southern or leeward part of Guadeloupe, is lush and rugged, dominated by La Soufrière. A stream of boiling water gushes from the top of the 4,800-ft. mountain, reminding you that this volcano is not dormant, but very much alive.
The dockyards, marinas, old inns, venerable pubs and convivial crowds of sun-tanned yacht crews- this is the epicentre of the Caribbean yachting world. Today, every faded pink brick and weather-worn bollard of Nelson’s Dockyard evokes the presence of the greatest naval commander in history.
In its elegant little capital of Gustavia, French joie de vivre is tempered by Swedish spic and span neatness. Diversions include duty-free shopping in exquisite boutiques, beautiful beaches, excellent dining and people-watching.
It’s time to say goodbye to the new friends you made, you’re allowed to depart at any time.
Complimentary Pre-paid gratuities and $100 CAN onboard credit per person!
