Exploring the lush coasts of Costa Rica and Panama via sailing ship is a unique and unforgettable experience. And travelers looking escape the cold this winter are in luck, as Star Clippers is offering a choice of three distinct offers on select sailings in February and March.
Star Clippers understands travelers have different priorities when it comes to vacationing and created offers to meet a variety of needs and desires. Those wanting to start their sailing vacation with time to explore Costa Rica’s capital city of San Jose will be drawn to the complimentary hotel stay offer, which includes one night’s hotel stay prior to embarkation, breakfast and a transfer to the ship. With so much to see and do in this region, adventurous guests will want to check out the excursion offer, featuring two free excursions per cabin, and a bottle of bubbly to set the mood. And finally, frugal travelers looking to defray rising airfare costs will love the air credit offer, which includes $400 in air credits per cabin.
Guests must book their cruise by March 15, 2025 to qualify. Offers are not combinable. The air credit and excursion offers are valid for select sailing in February, March and December, while the hotel offer is valid for select February and March sailings only. Offer is valid for residents of North, Central and South America only.
Offering two distinct eight-day itineraries, Star Clipper will call on favorite Costa Rican towns as well as ports in Panama depending on itinerary. The port town of Quepos, Costa Rica, located near the magnificent Manuel Antonio National Park, allows guests the opportunities to encounter monkeys, sloths, and nearly 450 species of birds that call the park home. The beaches on idyllic Isla Tortuga are ideal for snorkeling or taking a dip in the turquoise waters. UNESCO-listed marine sanctuary Coiba National Park in Panama is often called the "Galápagos of Central America." Its untouched reefs and waters teem with hammerhead sharks, manta rays, and massive schools of fish, making it a diver’s paradise.
With more than 800 miles of coastline and spectacular coral reefs, Costa Rica offers incredible opportunities for snorkeling. Star Clippers water sports program allows guests to borrow snorkeling equipment for the duration of the sailing, which they can use to their hearts content.
For more than 25 years, Star Clippers has been introducing travelers to the thrill of modern tall ship sailing to remote ports in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Central America. The company operates three of the world’s largest and tallest sailing vessels: Star Clipper and Star Flyer are traditional clipper ships with modern amenities carrying 166 guests each, while the 227-guest Royal Clipper holds the Guinness World Record for being the largest and only five-masted, full-rigged sailing ship in service today. All three ships have expansive teak decks, swimming pools, informal dining, convivial tropical bars on deck and piano lounges.
