Launched in 1991, the Star Flyer is a four masted sailing ship which has been designed as a small cruise ship. The ship is owned and operated by the Swedish Company, Star Clippers Limited. Like her sister ship, Star Clipper, Star Flyer has a capacity for just 170 passengers offering an intimate and cozy environment for passengers to enjoy an unique sailing experience in a luxurious and comfortable environment. Sailing all year round, Star Flyer offers cruises to some of the most exotic destinations worldwide. The small size of the ship allows her to get up close to ports in harder to reach destinations which larger ships are unable to do.
