Star Clippers operates three of the world’s largest and tallest sailing vessels. Visiting ports often untouched by larger cruise ships and offering passengers the activities, amenities and atmosphere of a private yacht, Star
Clippers is recognized as one of the premier niche cruise lines. Passengers can enjoy the romance of sailing on board a true tall ship in a relaxed atmosphere with high standards of service provided by an attentive crew. All three ships have expansive teak decks, swimming pools, informal dining, a convivial indoor-outdoor Tropical Bar and a comfortable piano bar. They are large enough to offer first-class accommodation and dining, but small enough to call at intimate ports untouched by large cruise ships.
When guests embark on a Star Clippers voyage they immediately notice the beautiful masts and billowing sails that hint at the unique adventure that lies ahead. The ships move under the power of the wind as much as possible, while the engines allow us to maintain a comfortable environment onboard. There’s nothing more majestic than watching the sails inch up the mast as the ships gently glide out of port.Are you ready?
EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENCE
DEAR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS,
THE WIND IN OUR SAILS
Aboard a Star Clippers ship, the ambiance is intimate but the experience is grand. Once you sail with us, you’re a part of the family, and it’s that family atmosphere that keeps guests coming back year after year. From exceptional cuisine enjoyed in a casual, open setting, to our international clientele and enhanced enrichment program, taking a Star Clippers
cruise means broadening your horizons and setting sail on an adventure that is anything but ordinary.
Space is limited. Join us on this unforgettable journey with Illinois alumni, family, and friends. Reservations can be made by online, by phone, or by returning the enclosed reservation form.
Warm regards,
Loren R. TaylorPresident and CEOUniversity of Illinois Alumni Association

CARIBBEAN
A warm breeze moves through the air, encouraging the palms to sway to the rhythm of the islands. In the Caribbean, time moves at a slower pace. Put away the cell phones, and lose yourself in the aqua waters. The world you’ve discovered is a wonderfully unique Caribbean Paradise. Let your only decision be, which island to sail from. A cruise aboard Royal Clipper is the perfect platform from which to explore
adventures in Tobago Cays, where the reefs are a marvel of colorful marine creations. Royal Clipper sails from Barbados on alternating voyages to explore the Spice Islands of the Grenadines and the Windward Islands with enchanting ports. On all three ships, you are free to dine when and with whomever you wish - including officers, who join our guests in the dining room most nights. No need for formal gowns and black tie, casual elegance is the order of the day and every single night.
INCLUDED FEATURESAll food, onboard enrichment programs and lectures, Water Sports (sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding, water skiing and wakeboarding) entertainment, all activities onboard (knot tying, navigation classes, etc), complimentary movie rentals to view in your cabin.
