Star Clippers Unveils Solo Traveler Offer with No Single Supplement on Select Sailings

Independent travelers can book peak-season 2026-2027Mediterranean (and other) voyages

with exceptional value and built-in camaraderie aboard authentic tall ships

Miami, FL – (April 2026) – Star Clippers is making solo travel more accessible than ever with a limited-time offer featuring no single supplement on select 2026-2027 sailings and cabin categories across its fleet of tall ships. Available on a curated collection of Mediterranean, Caribbean and Costa Rica/Panama departures—many during peak season—the promotion allows solo travelers to enjoy the full sailing experience without the typical cost barrier of traveling alone.

Under the offer, solo guests can book Category 4, 5, and 6 inside and outside staterooms with no single supplement, subject to availability. A low 25% single supplement applies for higher categories 2-3. The promotion is capacity-controlled, applies to new bookings only, and is valid for a limited time for residents of North, Central and South America only.

“Solo travel continues to grow, but pricing has traditionally been a challenge,” said Terri Haas, vice president of sales and marketing, Star Clippers USA. “With this offer, we’re eliminating that barrier on a range of highly desirable itineraries—including peak-season sailings—while delivering an experience that is naturally suited to independent travelers.”

The solo traveler offer applies to a range of possible itineraries from five to 14 nights, where guests can explore some of the world’s most captivating coastal regions—often calling at smaller ports inaccessible to larger ships. Solo travelers can choose to join curated shore excursions or explore independently, with many destinations located within easy walking distance of the port.

Onboard, the experience is designed to foster interaction without pressure. Guests gather naturally at the Tropical Bar, share stories over relaxed meals, or take part in activities such as sail hoisting, yoga on deck, and even optional mast climbing. For those seeking quiet moments, expansive teak decks provide ample space to unwind with panoramic ocean views. Star Clippers’ sailing style also appeals to solo travelers seeking authenticity and adventure. Harnessing wind power for much of each journey, the ships offer a more immersive and environmentally conscious way to travel—one that emphasizes the journey as much as the destination.

Three standout itineraries highlight the appeal of solo sailing with Star Clippers and showcase the ships’ ability to access off-the-beaten-path destinations, and deliver an immersive blend of nature, culture, and relaxed explorations in an intimate tall-ship setting:

Aboard the flagship Royal Clipper, the seven-night Croatia & Montenegro sailing offers an immersive journey along the Adriatic coast, roundtrip from Venice. Guests explore historic ports such as Šibenik and Dubrovnik, along with hidden gems like Vis and Kotor, blending cultural discovery with scenic beauty. Fares for this itinerary start at $2,570 (normally based on per person, double, but with the solo offer, it is the cost per one person in the cabin).

On Star Clipper, a seven-night Central America sailing departing December 19, 2026, offers a unique holiday-season escape through the Pacific coasts of Costa Rica and Panama. Timed over Christmas, the Panama to Costa Rica sailing is a festive voyage that combines warm-weather sailing with calls at remote islands, national parks, and wildlife-rich coastal regions rarely visited by larger ships. Fares for this holiday sailing start at $2,010, with solo travelers eligible for the no single supplement offer in select categories.

Meanwhile, Star Flyer’s Greek Island Odyssey invites solo travelers to discover the timeless beauty of the Eastern Mediterranean. Calling at iconic destinations such as Mykonos and lesser-visited islands like Milos and Gythio, the itinerary blends ancient history, local culture, and stunning coastal landscapes in a relaxed, intimate setting. Fares start at $2,500.

Beyond the destinations, Star Clippers’ onboard experience continues to resonate strongly with solo guests. With no rigid schedules or formal dress codes, travelers are free to shape each day as they choose. Meals are unstructured and sociable, encouraging guests to dine together and form connections organically. Importantly, the attentive crew and small-ship setting enhance both comfort and safety—key considerations for solo travelers. Many guests return for multiple sailings, drawn by the sense of familiarity and community that develops onboard.

As solo travel continues to grow as one of the industry’s most significant trends, Star Clippers’ dedicated offer positions the company as a compelling choice for travelers seeking both independence and connection. By combining value, authenticity, and a naturally social environment, the line delivers a solo travel experience that feels both liberating and inclusive.

For more than 35 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 as the largest and only five-masted, fully-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.
