7 Night Cruise sailing from Oslo to Hamburg 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 feet long 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:
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.
Stromstad
A spa and health resort since the 1890's, Stromstad is the closest port to Norway on Sweden's Golden Coast. It claims to have the sunniest weather and saltiest water in Sweden, but Norwegians come here not to take the waters, but the alcohol, which is considerably cheaper here. The nearby Koster Islands are the site of the Kosterhavets National Marine Park, where you can frolic with seals or catch lobsters and crab with a local fishing guide.
Hamburg
Hamburg flaunts its enormous wealth with a muscular presence that is backed by 2000 years of mercantile history. A capital of the powerful Hanseatic League, the city's position on the Elbe River made it a natural center for trade. The copper-spired tower of the 647 room Rathous (Town Hall) testifies to Hamburg's importance, while the exquisite baroque church of St. Michael portrays another side of Hamburg begging to be experienced. Take a night tour of the lively warehouse district or the famous St. Pauli entertainment district, and you'll see why the lights never go out in Hamburg!
