Embrace the magic of travel with me, your devoted luxury travel advisor! From the tender age of 8, I was already captivated by the wonders of the world, and my parents graciously embraced my input when planning our vacations. Friends and family so...

The Star Clipper with the sails up.

Embarking on one of the world's tallest sailing ships was a journey that will forever be etched in my heart as the ultimate adventure. From the moment we set sail, the allure of the open sea beckoned us, promising an unparalleled exploration of hidden gems and exotic destinations. 


The intimacy of the smaller ship was an unexpected delight, providing the perfect setting to forge connections with fellow travelers. With only 150 guests on board, it felt like a close-knit community, and getting to know each other became an effortless joy.


 Our journey commenced in the enchanting port city of Civitavecchia, Italy, a stone's throw away from the ancient marvels of Rome. From there, we embarked on a captivating odyssey, sailing through crystal clear waters and visiting destinations that large cruise ships could only dream of reaching.


 Corsica, with its rugged coastline and picturesque landscapes, captured our hearts from the moment we docked in the historic town of Bonifacio. We wandered through charming alleys, discovering hidden cafes and boutiques, immersing ourselves in the local culture. 


In Ajaccio, the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte, we marveled at the majestic statues and explored the vibrant markets, indulging in exquisite local delicacies.


 L'Ile Rouse offered a tranquil escape, with its pristine beaches and warm Mediterranean sun, inviting us to unwind and bask in the beauty of nature. Saint Tropez, with its glamorous reputation, surprised us with its quaint charm. Walking along its cobbled streets, we couldn't help but be captivated by the allure of the French Riviera. 


As we approached Cannes, France, the anticipation grew, knowing that our final night would coincide with Bastille Day. Anchored in the harbor, we were treated to an awe-inspiring view of the city's amazing fireworks display, illuminating the night sky in a dazzling spectacle of colors and light.


 My sailing ship experience was a true revelation, a journey that transcended mere travel and became an intimate exploration of diverse cultures, and mesmerizing landscapes. If you ever dream of a voyage that embraces the essence of discovery and the thrill of the unknown, a tall sailing ship vacation is an absolute must. Let me share my passion for this extraordinary journey with you, and together, we can craft an itinerary that will redefine the art of travel. Bon voyage!
