Packaged sailings with flight departures from London, Manchester and Bristol are available from £1,899pp (London), including overseas transfers and port charges.

The cost with flights from Manchester is £1,899pp, with Bristol departures totalling £2,099pp, which includes a one night post-cruise stay in Rome.

Packages for those travelling from Edinburgh to Athens on 7 October 2023 for a seven-night Sporades Highlights sailing start at £1,899pp, with destinations including the islands of Limnos, Skiathos, Skopelos and Poros.

The cost with London flights is £1,789pp and with Bristol flights is £2,299pp, which includes an additional four nights in Athens.

Star Clippers ‘thankful’ for trade support

Star Clippers UK GSA general manager Fay McCormack said: “It is important that agents are aware that no matter where in the UK they are based, it is possible for their clients to experience the unique opportunity of sailing on board a fully-rigged tall ship.

“We are forever thankful for the support we receive from our loyal agent partners, as well as those that introduce new customers to experience Star Clippers.”

Earlier this year, Star Clippers announced it achieved record-breaking sales for the first booking week in January.

At the time, the line said there was a trend of more passengers booking the entire package element, rather than just the cruise-only section.
