Creator's Key Takeaways

Once you've sailed on a Clipper you will never go back to the big ships sailings for your heart and soul

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive in St Martin at least one day before departure to enjoy the island.
Bring your own motion sickness medicine just in case, though tall ships move differently than large cruise ships.
Book early to secure cabins as solo occupancy availability is limited.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

SeasicknessTall ships sit deep in the water and the rocking motion is forward and backward rather than side-to-side, which is less likely to cause sickness.
Formal dress codeIt is a casual ambience; no jackets or ties are ever required.

YouTube Video Description

Join me as we explore the breathtaking Leeward Islands aboard the beautiful Star Clippers tall ships, where open deck sailing, turquoise Caribbean waters, and authentic tall ship adventure come together in one unforgettable experience. Hello, I’m Renee, owner of Red Orchid Travel and Red Orchid Women’s Travel Tours here in Canada, proudly helping travellers across North America create immersive and unforgettable travel experiences. In this video, we’ll discover the romance of true sailing through the Caribbean, including intimate island ports, hidden coves, relaxed luxury, and the magic that makes Star Clippers unlike traditional cruising. ✨ Whether you dream of travelling solo, as a couple, with friends, or simply experiencing a slower and more meaningful style of travel at sea, Star Clippers offers something truly special. These sailings are incredibly popular and often sell out quickly due to their intimate small ship experience and limited accommodations onboard. If a tall ship sailing through the Caribbean speaks to your heart, and you are not currently working with a travel advisor, I would absolutely love to help you plan your own seamless sailing adventure.
