Our chefs are renowned for creating imaginative dishes that even non-vegans rave about. You'll be amazed by the variety and flavor, discovering new plant-based favorites daily. It’s a fantastic opportunity to explore a compassionate lifestyle without compromise.

Sailing on a tall ship like the Star Flyer is inherently more sustainable than traditional cruise liners. The ship utilizes its sails whenever possible, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Our itinerary focuses on smaller, less crowded islands, minimizing impact. Onboard, we prioritize plant-based dining which has a significantly lower environmental footprint, and we encourage responsible interaction with local communities and wildlife, emphasizing leaving no trace.

The atmosphere on the Star Flyer is elegant yet relaxed. During the day, casual resort wear is perfect – think shorts, t-shirts, swimsuits, and comfortable shoes for exploring. Evenings are "smart” and / or “casual" – you decide what to wear. Your cruise. Your way.
There are no formal nights, so leave the tuxedos and ball gowns at home!

Onboard, you can relax on deck, enjoy the ship's pools, learn about sailing from the crew, or simply find a quiet spot with a book. On the islands, our carefully curated itinerary offers a blend of relaxation and adventure: snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, exploring historical sites, hiking through lush rainforests, discovering local markets, and simply unwinding on pristine beaches. Specific shore excursions focusing on nature and local culture will be available.

Yes, Wi-Fi is available on board the Star Flyer, though it may be satellite-based and therefore slower and potentially more expensive than land-based services. We encourage guests to embrace the digital detox and connect with the stunning surroundings and fellow travelers, but understand the need to stay connected. Please inquire onboard for current rates and availability.

To secure your spot on this unique voyage, we recommend booking as soon as possible due to limited capacity. A deposit of 25% is required at the time of booking, with the final balance due several months prior to departure. Specific deposit amounts and payment schedules can be found on your booking confirmation or by contacting Vegan Travel. Don't miss out on this incredible experience!

As a traditional tall ship, the Star Flyer has certain limitations regarding accessibility compared to modern cruise ships. There are stairs between decks and no elevators. Guests should be able to navigate gangways and tenders for shore excursions. Please contact us directly if you have specific mobility concerns, and we'll be happy to discuss if this cruise is suitable for your needs.

Vegan Travel and Star Clippers prioritize the health and safety of all guests and crew. We will adhere to all international and local health guidelines in effect at the time of the cruise in March 2027. Specific protocols will be communicated closer to the departure date, ensuring a safe and enjoyable journey for everyone.

While the Star Flyer offers the thrilling experience of sailing on a tall ship, it's also designed for comfort. Most guests find the gentle motion of the ship under sail to be quite soothing. However, individual sensitivities vary. We recommend consulting your doctor about appropriate motion sickness remedies if you are prone to seasickness. The captain will always strive to choose the calmest routes, but the open sea can sometimes be unpredictable. Embrace the sway – it's part of the authentic sailing adventure!

As your cruise begins and ends in St. Maarten, you will formally enter and exit the country. For cruise ship passengers, generally, a valid passport (recommended to be valid for at least six months beyond your cruise end date) is required. Many nationalities are exempt from visa requirements for short tourist stays (typically up to 30 days, or 90 days for EU citizens). However, it is crucial to check the specific entry requirements for your nationality closer to March 2027, as regulations can change. We highly recommend consulting the official Sint Maarten government immigration website or your country's foreign affairs department for the most up-to-date and personalized information. While your cruise card might suffice for brief shore excursions in port, a passport is always recommended for international travel and unforeseen circumstances.

Our vegan cruises attract a wonderfully diverse and international group of compassionate individuals from all walks of life. While everyone on board shares a common interest in veganism and ethical travel, you'll find a delightful mix of ages, backgrounds, and reasons for choosing a plant-based lifestyle – from seasoned vegans and environmental advocates to health-conscious foodies and those curious about a more sustainable way of living. All guests are English-speaking, fostering an incredibly friendly and easy-going atmosphere where connections are forged over shared meals, breathtaking views, and a mutual passion for a better world. Expect to meet fascinating people, share stories, and build lasting friendships!

Unlike large, traditional cruise ships with their grand shows, the Star Flyer offers a wonderfully simple, intimate, and authentic evening experience. Entertainment is often 'home-made' and joyfully presented by our talented crew, officers, and the dedicated Vegan Travel team. There's no formality here, creating an atmosphere where you'll feel completely relaxed and unwound. Picture engaging conversations under the stars, perhaps some live music, storytelling, or even a fun, impromptu talent show by your fellow travelers and the crew. It's about genuine connection and celebrating the magic of being at sea together.

Sailing on a tall ship like the Star Flyer is an unforgettable and deeply unique experience that simply can't be compared to a modern, large ocean cruise ship. The moment you step aboard, you'll be enveloped by a sense of nostalgia and heritage, reminiscent of a bygone era of grand sailing. It truly feels like being on a traditional, rigged sailing ship while still offering the comforts of a modern-day private yacht. The Star Flyer thoughtfully provides a range of facilities including inviting plunge pools, a serene library, opportunities for beauty treatments, as well as charming bars and a restaurant. The entire journey perfectly epitomizes the grandeur and adventure from a golden age of sailing, all while ensuring your comfort and a uniquely personal connection to the sea.
