Blending the traditions of the past with the comforts of today, the 170-guest Star Flyer boasts giant, billowing sails, gleaming mahogany, polished brasswork, sweeping teak decks, two pools, restaurant and bars, Edwardian library, gourmet cuisine, friendly crew and a yacht-like ambience that is relaxed, casually elegant and free of crowds.
Cruise Traveller’s new, 14-night summer cruise and stay holiday package – ‘Turkish Riviera Sailing’ – begins on August 2, 2027, with two nights in a luxury hotel in Antalya, Turkey, and ends with two nights at a luxury hotel in Istanbul.
