Casablanca

We'll try not to mention a certain Hollywood film here, but Casablanca's history is as captivating as its cinematic counterpart. From its humble beginnings as a Berber settlement to its rise as a bustling port city under French rule, Casablanca has been shaped by centuries of cultural exchange and economic prosperity. Today, its modern skyline and vibrant culture reflect its status as Morocco's economic hub. As Humphrey Bogart famously said in the film, "Here's looking at you, kid." Oh. Damn.

Day 4

Safi

With a history dating back to Phoenician times, Safi offers a cruise destination off the beaten track. This Moroccan port city, once known as "Asfi," boasts a rich maritime heritage, evidenced by its ancient fortress and historic medina. While lesser-known than other Moroccan ports, Safi's charm lies in its authenticity and unspoiled beauty. Visitors can explore traditional ceramics workshops, sample fresh seafood at the bustling fish market, and wander through narrow alleyways buzzing to the allure of rich heritage. With its rugged coastline, vibrant culture, and warm hospitality, Safi offers a unique and enriching experience for adventurous cruisers seeking off-the-beaten-path destinations.

MAGICAL EXPERIENCE!

A totally different experience to large ship cruising. 'Star Flyer' looked majestic at dock in Venice and once set sail with sails unfurled is an incredible sight on the Grand Canal. Ship is quite small,but there's ample room for 170 guests. There are two small pools and plenty of areas on deck to relax as well as the bar, library and a large lounge. Food onboard was quite amazing and lots of it. Breakfast and lunch were buffets in the dining room and evening meals were served at your table. There was always plenty of choice to suit all. There was also a small buffet late afternoon and one late at night. No drink packages but prices onboard very reasonable. As it is a sailing ship, cabins are perhaps not as big as the large ships,but are well designed with plenty of storage and room to relax. Our cabin had a spacious wet room. All staff did their utmost to provide a great service and were very helpful. We were sailing from Venice to Athens and all the ports had plenty of interest and things to do. If you are used to large ships, it may not be your cup of tea, as you need to make your own entertainment. but it is a memorable. magical experience!

Flew to Barbados celebrating our Sapphire Wedding Anniversary. We had 5 days pre-cruise at beautiful Accra Beach. Enjoyed the locality very much & swimming with Turtles. Embarked Royal Clipper and enjoyed a beautiful week cruising & visiting the Leeward Islands. The shore excursions were perhaps a little brief with Martinique being a full day we enjoyed it considerably. Unfortunately Grenada experienced a torrential downpour and flooding for our day there. Beach BBQ at Bequia aborted due to weather but we had a fun time paddle boarding and swimming, with light refreshments provided on shore. Souffriere was enjoyable too but as with many shore visits we didn’t have enough time to make the best of it. On return we had a further stay for one week at Barbados Sandals Royal... it was fabulous. As an Ex-Royal Navy ratIng I have enjoyed commissions of over 7.5 months via SA out to Guam in the Pacific. And on return from that a further 3.5 months in the Med. I was hesitant to cruise having had almost 16months touring the colonies in just two years of my total initial service...but delighted with the outcome.

Everything was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. It was a great, completely different experience. A small ship, only 139 passengers and 65 crew on board. Will be going again and would definitely recommend
