Checking out Star Clippers

Found a good video of seas getting a bit choppy on a Star Clippers Transatlantic which are the cheapest per night, it is not usually this rough on their general cruises.

In reply to Mijoy, Excursions on Northern route out of Phuket, most over 100Euros pp. Not many as most days its just off to an Island for free snorkling, off tender or the beach. Beautiful!

Excurtions in Lankawi were 117Eu pp. We stayed on board and enjoyed a walk and a very empty ship! James Bond Island about 100 Euros too. Some people did one to see Elephants which involved 2 hours each way on a speed boat in rough water for 100 plus Euros.

Honestly, the Ship and the Islands are the stars.......we did sightseeing before the cruise. If anyone wants a recommendation, Elephant Hills tented camp is amazing. A sanctuary for retired elephants, canoeing and we spent a night at the floating tented lake camp. The best experience of our whole trip (except for the mosquitoes) !

Just to clarify wet landings on the tenders.

The tenders on Star Clipper / Star Flyer and Royal Clipper are of different designs. On the clippers, you exit over the bows by means of a ladder as previously described. On the Royal however, the front of the tender drops down to form a ramp, like a mini landing craft, and you walk down the ramp onto the beach. No ladder is involved.
