Star Flyer Wiki
Star Flyer is a tall sailing cruise ship classed as a 4-masted barquentine. Until 2010, both vessels sailed under the Luxembourg flag. Although Star Flyer is a motorized ship, her engines are switched off whenever weather conditions permit so, and crew unfurls 36,000 ft2 of billowing 16 sails to capture the winds, thus propelling the barquentine at speeds 8 to 10 knots.
The most exciting of all daytime activities is climbing the mast with a rock-climbing harness and hanging out above the Sun Deck in a crow's nest. During the day, guests can also learn about sails and their repair. There are no shows, dinner and “captain’s story-time” are the main events in the evening. Room service is not available.
Star Flyer was deployed in Europe (Mediterranean) and the Far East until 2008 when Star Clippers repositioned the ship to French Polynesia for South Pacific year-round service.
