The programme includes one eastbound departure in spring and three westbound crossings in autumn. The voyages are structured around extended periods at sea, with selected port calls in the Azores, Spain, Morocco, the Canary Islands and the Caribbean.
During the crossings, passengers can observe the crew handling the sails, learn about navigation and seamanship, climb the rigging and use the bowsprit netting. Onboard facilities also include swimming pools, open teak decks, dining areas and the Tropical Bar.
Star Clipper and Star Flyer each accommodate a maximum of 166 guests.
Terri Haas, VP of Sales & Marketing for Star Clippers, said: “An ocean crossing is perhaps the purest expression of what makes traveling aboard a tall ship so special. There is a sense of adventure that comes from watching the sails fill with wind and knowing you are crossing the Atlantic much as sailors have for centuries, but with the comfort, cuisine and relaxed atmosphere of a modern yacht. It gives guests something that has become increasingly rare in travel—the luxury of uninterrupted time.”
- The eastbound Atlantic itinerary will depart St. John’s, Antigua, on April 3, 2027, aboard Star Clipper for a 20-night voyage to Malaga, Spain. After nearly two weeks at sea, the ship will call at Ponta Delgada in the Azores. Passengers will have opportunities to visit the historic centre, experience local cuisine and explore the island’s volcanic landscapes, crater lakes and waterfront before the voyage continues towards Spain.
- A 24-night westbound Atlantic voyage aboard Star Clipper will depart Malaga on October 27, 2027, for St. John’s, Antigua. Before beginning the main transatlantic passage, the itinerary will include calls at Ceuta and Cádiz in Spain, Tangier and Casablanca in Morocco, and destinations in the Canary Islands. In Cádiz, passengers can visit the city’s historic centre, while Tangier offers access to its medina and markets. The programme also includes Casablanca and its mix of traditional and contemporary Moroccan culture, followed by the Canary Islands before the ship continues west towards the Caribbean.
- A shorter westbound option aboard Star Clipper will depart Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, on November 5, 2027. The 15-night itinerary will sail to St. John’s, Antigua. The voyage will include a call at San Sebastián on La Gomera, where passengers can explore the historic centre, learn about the island’s connections with the voyages of Christopher Columbus or visit its interior, characterised by steep valleys, mountain landscapes and ancient laurel forests. Following La Gomera, Star Clipper will begin an extended Atlantic passage before arriving in Antigua.
- The fourth scheduled crossing will depart Las Palmas on November 12, 2027, aboard Star Flyer. The 15-night westbound itinerary will conclude in St. Maarten. The Star Flyer voyage will also call at San Sebastián, La Gomera, providing time to visit the island’s historic streets, cafés and natural landscapes before beginning the Atlantic crossing and continuing to the Caribbean.
Across the four itineraries, the programme includes extended days at sea designed around the sailing experience itself, alongside opportunities for passengers to spend time on deck, read, dine, meet other guests and observe the operation of the ships during the transatlantic passages.
All published prices for the four 2027 Atlantic crossings are quoted per person, based on double occupancy.
