Star Clippers, the unique tall-ship sailing company, has resumed its full sailing program for the first time in two years with all three ships sailing in the beautiful Mediterranean. Star Clipper, the final ship in the fleet to resume sailing, joined Star Flyer and Royal Clipper in the Med last month, marking the first time in five years that all three ships have sailed together.
"Having all three tall ships back in the Mediterranean for the summer is thrilling, and truly a testament to the determination and hard work of our officers, crew and land-based offices," said Terri Haas, Vice President of Sales, Star Clippers North America.
