A luxury sailing getaway, particularly aboard a stunning ship like the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.starclippers.com\/us-dom\/\">Star Clipper<\/a>, is an unforgettable journey that lets you see a range of destinations, enjoy an exclusive environment, connect with nature and experience the romance of a traditional yet luxurious sail ship.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Exclusivity of Sail Ships<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>One of the biggest benefits of setting sail is that the ship itself is exclusive. Rather than staying in a floating hotel with thousands of fellow travelers, those who enjoy sailing vacations on luxury ships may find that there are less than 200 passengers on the journey, and a maximum of 170 in the case of the Star Clipper.<\/p>\n<p>This means that you won&#8217;t ever have to worry about restaurants being overbooked, onboard amenities being packed or running out of space on the ship. Of course, the exclusivity of sailing getaways also means that there is a good chance you&#8217;ll be the first among your friends to have this unforgettable experience at sea.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.starclippers.com\/us-dom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3624 size-medium\" title=\"Star Clippers\" src=\"https:\/\/tpi.itbyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/starclipper1-300x125.jpg\" alt=\"Star Clippers\" width=\"300\" height=\"125\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Informal, Relaxed Schedules<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever been to a resort or a cruise ship that handed out busy itineraries for passengers and guests, the informal, relaxed pace of life on a sailing ship could be a pleasant surprise.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of having a seating assignment or a set time to dine each night, guests on any of the Star Clippers fleet of ships can pick and choose the time, place and seat where they feel most comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t be surprised if some of the ship&#8217;s officers ask to join your table and regale you with stories from the day at sea. Entertainment isn&#8217;t rigid or bland since regional performers come from the surrounding areas to bring the local culture to the evenings.<\/p>\n<p>For travelers who want to take it easy and do things according to their own schedules, this format is truly ideal.<\/p><div class=\"post-cta-roar\"><div class=\"post-cta-roar__inner\"><h2 class=\"post-cta-roar__headline\">5,800+ Rockstars Have Partnered With Us<\/h2><p class=\"post-cta-roar__paragraph\">Determine which path is right for you<\/p><div class=\"post-cta-roar__buttons\"><div class=\"post-cta-roar__button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tpi.itbyus.com\/?page_id=16967\" title=\"New to Biz Page\" class=\"btn--primary btn--post-cta-roar js-new-button\"><span>I'm a New Agent<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"post-cta-roar__button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tpi.itbyus.com\/?page_id=140\" title=\"Experienced Agents Page\" class=\"btn--secondary btn--post-cta-roar js-experienced-button\"><span>I'm An Experienced Agent<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Romance and Elegance of the Past<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.starclippers.com\/us-dom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3629 size-medium\" title=\"Star Clippers\" src=\"https:\/\/tpi.itbyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/starclipperscene1-300x81.jpg\" alt=\"Star Clippers\" width=\"300\" height=\"81\" \/><\/a>Luxury sailing vessels are a magnificent way to harness the beauty, elegance and nostalgia of the past. You may feel like you&#8217;ve stepped back into a historical novel when you watch the wind puff out the sails or hear the call of the crew.<\/p>\n<p>The ship&#8217;s decor is tasteful and elegant, but passengers still get to enjoy all of the modern conveniences they can&#8217;t live without.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Connection to Nature<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>On a cruise ship, the decks available for passengers can sometimes be 10 or more stories above the water.

As a luxurious alternative, a sailing holiday on a luxury vessel can be an absolute delight. Passengers can still visit multiple destinations during their trip, but it will be done from a scenic, exclusive vessel like the Star Clipper. The onboard experience is relaxed, but the decor, dining and rooms are upscale and elegant. Sailing ships are smaller, holding less than 200 passengers, which means far fewer crowds and a stronger connection to the romance of the past as well as the beauty of the natural scenery.\n\n
