Star Flyer

Unique Cruise Experience

September

Pros: Visit a variety of countries, plenty of time at ports, full sailing experience, sailing ship experiences: time in the net, climbing the mast, knot tying…, amazing cuisine, professional staff, attention to detail

Cons: Rough waters

Recommended: Yes

Leeward Islands

March

Pros: Sailing experience was wonderful. Very helpful crew. Ability to go to small islands that traditional cruise ships can not go.

Cons: Coffee could be better. Rooms could use new mattresses and update TV system.

Recommended: Yes

Great experience overall and would definitely do again. Opportunities to be involved with sailing, climb to the crows nest and ride in the bowstring. Snorkel gear, paddle board, water skiing, laser sail boat and kayak all available at no extra cost. Very different from traditional cruising, not the typical party atmosphere.

Venice to Athens

October

Pros: The ship is clean, well-managed, the food is great and plenteous, and the shore excursions were fun and worthwhile.

Cons: The process for signing up for the shore excursions was a mess. Instead of having all the passengers trying to sign up at the same time in the small library the process should permit on-line signup at ones leisure any time after the final excursions are announced.

Recommended: No
