Star Flyer is a four masted sailing ship that feels far closer to being on a private yacht than a conventional cruise vessel, ideal if you value time on deck, sea air and the romance of real sail. Life on board naturally centres outside. Wide teak decks, open rigging and the sight of full sails overhead create a distinctive atmosphere, with plenty of space to stretch out on a lounger, watch the crew handle the lines or simply follow the wake. When conditions allow, sail aways and arrivals are often accompanied by music on deck, making them genuine events rather than just a change of port. Indoors you’ll find a relaxed, nautical lounge, an intimate bar and a dining room where guests share unassigned tables at set times – sociable but unpretentious, with good, classically styled cuisine. There’s also a small library and a few quiet corners for reading. The marina platform at the stern is used for swimming and water sports when weather and anchorage permit. Cabins are compact but comfortably fitted out, more like a classic yacht than a hotel, and the overall mood is informal: no strict dress codes, limited announcements and entertainment focused on the sea and sailing itself. Star Flyer suits guests who enjoy being close to the elements, prefer authenticity to glitz and are happy to trade big ship facilities for the experience of travelling under sail.
