6 Night Cruise sailing from Warnemunde to Oslo aboard Star Flyer.
Star Flyer is as fleet as the wind and as graceful as swans. This is a true clipper ship, reflecting the proud heritage in every inch of polished brass and gleaming brightwork.
Step aboard this unique vessel and discover a new age of sail, where the traditions of the past are happily married to the comforts and amenities of the present. Star Flyer ia a modern cruise ship in every way, created for comfort-loving passengers who also love the traditions and romance of the legendary era of sailing ships. Star Flyer is 360 feetlong and carries just 170 guests in pampered comfort. Life aboard is blissfully relaxed, much like travelling on a private yacht. You'll never feel confined, as the ship offers pleasingly spacious accommodation and expansive teak decks with ample space for relaxing and play. In fact, you'll find that the ship offers more outdoor space per passenger than most conventional cruise ships.
The décor of Star Flyer is reminiscent of the grand age of sail. Antique prints and paintings of famous sailing ships please the eye, while teak and gleaming mahogany rails are richly reminiscent of Star Flyer's proud nautical heritage.
Enjoy our convivial indoor-outdoor Tropical Bar and Piano Bar, and Edwardian style library where a Belle Époque fireplace glows with a warmth that reflects the friendliness and enthusiasm of Star Flyer's hospitable officers and crew.
Highlights of this cruise:
Warnemunde (Rostock)
Every year in August, Rostock hosts Hanse Sail, a gathering of traditional sailing ships from all over the world. Star Flyer is proud to be part of this event in 2012! The ancient Hanseatic League city of Rostock on the Warnow River has been an important seaport from the 13th century onward and the first propeller-driven ships were built in Rostock. A stroll to the ornate Town Hall and St. Mary's Church takes you from the Gothic Middle Ages to the Renaissance and Baroque eras.
Copenhagen
When the British bombed Copenhagen to oblivion in 1801 and 1807, no one thought the city could survive. But it's a testament to the hearty Danes that Copenhagen is today one of the loveliest and liveliest cities in Europe. Walk the Strøget (a pedestrian only area of endless charms), gaze at the twinkling lights and flower-filled gardens of Tivoli, or wander the corridors of Christansborg Palace. A few miles away lie Kronborg, the haunt of Hamlet's father in Helsingør (Elsinore) and the water-ringed castle of Frederiksborg in Hillerød.
Halmstad
Northward along Sweden's Golden Coast lies a maze of islands and rocks deeply indented by the sea leading to Halmstad, a favorite haunt of the sailing and fishing addicted Swedes. At the mouth of the Nissan River, Halmstad became important during the Kalmar Union, which joined Sweden, Denmark and Norway between 1400 and 1520, because it was here that the current king was elected. The handsome red brick gables and walls of Halmstad Castle (built in 1615 by Denmark's King Christian IV) look like a Dutch painting.
Gothenborg
Gothenborg, Sweden's second largest city, was the setting for part of Stieg Larsson's last bestselling thriller. The futuristic red and white tower of Skanska, a large construction firm, testifies to Goteborg's economic growth. But the canals and streets were actually created by the Dutch, who were brought here by King Gustav II in 1620 to build a city on the River Göta. Shortly thereafter, Goteborg became the headquarters of the Swedish East India Company's spice trade. Sweden's largest lake, Lake Vanern, beckons inland, or go for a boat cruise among the skerries of the Bohuslän Coast.
Oslo
Long ago, dead Viking chiefs were buried with great ceremony in their ships complete with regalia and supplies for the afterlife, just like Egyptian pharaohs. You can see these 1,000 year-old formerly scuttled vessels at the Oslo Viking Ship Museum. Skiers will want to visit the Holmenkollen Ski Museum (inside the famous ski jump) to see how a Norwegian farmer invented modern Telemark skiing. And not be forgotten (and they are unforgettable!) are the hundreds of human forms in bronze and granite at Vigelsland Sculpture Park.
