We are senior citizens who also were sailors for about 40 years! We have sailed twice on the ROYAL CLIPPER - January 2005 & January 2010. We adore her! Best cruises we have ever had - no casinos, no kids on board just plain "relaxation".

Shore excursions during the day and sailed at night! Wonderful lectures on board, water activities ashore, sightseeing on the islands, on board entertainment by the crew & occasional steel band aboard for a few hours before our night sails!

We used Star Clipper Lines to book our plane reservations so that we wouldn't have any issues with delayed flights. Actually, we flew to Miami from Providence, RI the night before we were to fly to Barbados to meet the ship just to be sure that we would bot be delayed by weather! Would sail on her again if we can! Mediterranean by way of the seasonal transatlantic repositioning crossing would be next on our list.
