Guest Ann shared these fabulous photos of an afternoon in the bowsprit net and the shoreside scenery as Star Clipper cruised along the coast. Said Ann:

"Thank you, magical Star Clipper. We miss you."

Thanks to James W. Bottoms of Vest Connection Travel Inc. in Maryland for the photos in this post.





The bowsprit net is one of the elements that sets Star Clippers apart from traditional cruise lines. Guests love the freedom of sailing along suspended 30 feet above the sea. The views are incredible -- you may spot a dolphin chasing the waves below or one of the incredible rainbows that always seem to follow or lead our beautiful tall ships.



Other incredible views from the bow are of the ship itself! It's funny how a little perspective can add another element of interest to your journey. Lay back and look up at the clouds and sails or look down upon the lovely figurehead. Or you could follow her lead and look forward to the course at hand.

Mary Stuart-Miller shared some fabulous and fun-loving photos from her recent Star Clippers cruise along the Amalfi Coast on Royal Clipper. In just a few shots she did a great job of capturing life onboard, from the congenial relationship of guests and crew to the excitement of sailing along in the bowsprit or launching the zodiacs for a little fun in the sun! Thanks for sharing, Mary.
