Clipper Ships in the World's Great Waters

The Star Clippers (800/442-0553) company has other very exciting itineraries that will tempt us for years to come. The Star Flyer we boarded cruises Asia, the Star Clipper sails the Caribbean, and both service the Mediterranean. The seven-day Asia itineraries cruise the north and south Andaman Sea, as well as the route we did from Thailand to Singapore, with about four departures monthly between November and March. Additionally, the Royal Clipper plies the Caribbean from October to April, the same period in which the Star Flyer serves the Society Islands and Tuamotu Atolls.

In recalling this unusual adventure, one of my best memories was how friendly the crew and other passengers were to all the kids, and how willing to play with them. Of course, that was true throughout our visit to Thailand, a country known, for good reason, as The Land of Smiles.
