Star Clippers Offers Two Free Shore Excursions and Complimentary WiFi Package on Select 2028 Caribbean and Central America Sailings

Offer features sailings aboard Royal Clipper, Star Clipper and Star Flyer, with fares from $2,060

 

MIAMI, FL, July 2026 – Star Clippers is making its small-ship sailing experience even more immersive with a new limited-time offer that gives guests two free shore excursions per cabin on select January through March 2028 sailings aboard the line’s three award-winning clipper ships – Royal Clipper, Star Clipper and Star Flyer. The offer, fulfilled as a $200 onboard credit per cabin, invites travelers to go deeper in the destinations where Star Clippers’ authentic tall ships shine: secluded bays, smaller harbors, marine parks, historic island towns and natural landscapes often beyond the reach of larger vessels.

 

 

The promotion also includes a complimentary 3GB Wi-Fi package per cabin, giving guests added value as they reserve early for 2028 Caribbean and Central America sailings. Rates are in U.S. dollars, per person, based on double occupancy, and include fees and port charges. The offer is valid for residents of the North America and Latin America and continues on a space available basis.

 

 

“Star Clippers’ itineraries are designed around the places our ships can reach and the experiences guests can have once they step ashore,” said Terri Haas, Star Clippers VP of Sales & Marketing Americas. “By including two shore excursions, we’re giving travelers another reason to explore and experience the culture, history, wildlife and natural beauty that make these sailings so memorable. And then share those moments with loved back home by way of the included Wi-Fi offer.”

 

 

Aboard the five-masted Royal Clipper, guests can choose the seven-night Grenadine Islands sailing departing Bridgetown, Barbados, on January 8, 2028, with fares from $2,620. The itinerary showcases a classic Southern Caribbean arc through the Grenadines, Grenada, Tobago Cays, St. Vincent, Bequia, Martinique and St. Lucia before returning to Barbados. Excursion choices and destination experiences may include exploring Grenada’s spice-scented capital of St. George’s, snorkeling in the Tobago Cays, discovering Bequia’s relaxed waterfront atmosphere, or experiencing St. Lucia’s volcanic scenery, gardens, waterfalls and mineral baths. The sailing also gives guests the pleasure of arriving under sail in some of the Caribbean’s most photogenic anchorages, where the approach is part of the experience.

 

 

The 166-guest Star Clipper’s seven-night Costa Rica & Panama roundtrip sailing departs Puerto Caldera, Costa Rica, on February 5, 2028, with fares from US$2,060. This Pacific Coast itinerary emphasizes nature, marine life and soft adventure, calling at Coiba National Park, the Marine Park Golfo de Chiriqui, Golfito, Quepos and Islas Tortugas. Guests may use their shore-excursion credit toward experiences that highlight the region’s biodiversity, from snorkeling, kayaking and wildlife viewing to mangrove exploration, visits to national park gateways and beach activities. Coiba National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is known for its remarkable marine ecosystem, while Golfo de Chiriqui protects islands, coral reefs and habitats for birds, turtles and other wildlife. Quepos serves as the gateway to Manuel Antonio National Park, and Islas Tortugas offers a classic Costa Rican beach day with kayaking, swimming and glass-bottom boat options.

 

 

Star Flyer’s seven-night Leeward Islands sailing departs Philipsburg, St. Maarten, on February 12, 2028, with fares from US$2,060. The itinerary calls at Nevis, Dominica, Iles des Saintes, Guadeloupe, Antigua and St. Barts before returning to St. Maarten. Excursion options and independent discoveries range from rainforest and waterfall adventures in Dominica to snorkeling and beach time in Les Saintes, exploring Guadeloupe’s lush volcanic landscapes, visiting Antigua’s historic Nelson’s Dockyard, or enjoying Gustavia’s boutiques, beaches and French-Caribbean atmosphere. A special highlight of this sailing is the opportunity for Star Flyer to sail in company with Royal Clipper south of Iles des Saintes, creating a rare tall-ship moment for guests on deck.

 

 

On all three ships, the onboard experience is central to the journey. Guests sail aboard true clipper ships where teak decks, billowing sails and relaxed open-air spaces replace the scale and formality of conventional cruising. Days may include watching the crew raise the sails, climbing the mast with supervision, enjoying relaxing in the bowsprit netting, enjoying complimentary water sports where offered, or simply taking in the changing coastline from the deck.

 

 

The two-excursion offer is valid for new bookings only on select January through March 2028 sailings. The two included shore excursions are fulfilled as a US$200 onboard credit per cabin, equivalent to $100 per person, or $100 for solo travelers paying a supplement. The offer is not combinable with groups or other promotions and may be changed or withdrawn at any time.
