From European Cruise Guide

Star Clippers is an international cruise line with head offices in the U.S. and Monaco. The company has three sailing ships: the 170-guest Star Clipper and Star Flyer, and the five-masted, 227-passenger Royal Clipper (which was inspired by the squarerigger Preussen of 1902).

All three vessels offer "casual elegance" in cruising, with activities that range from leisurely dining to climbing the mast or sunbathing in a net under the bowsprit.

In 2009, Star Clippers is offering cruises of 5 to 12 days in the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, plus several transatlantic repositioning cruises.
