Sailing from Andalusia to the French Riviera on Star Clipper

Motril, on the southern coast of Andalusia, is a charming port city surrounded by beaches, hills, and tropical plantations. Known for its history and Mediterranean character, Motril is also the perfect base to explore nearby Granada or the mountain villages of the Alpujarras. The town is famous for its rum distillery and local fruit farms.

A day under sail offers the perfect chance to experience the spirit of traditional sailing. Feel the wind in the sails as the Star Clipper moves gracefully across the open sea. You can relax on deck, swim in the pool, or enjoy the view. For those seeking more activity, you may climb the rigging or try steering the ship under crew supervision.

Ibiza is known worldwide for its white beaches, clear waters and lively atmosphere. Still, the island also hides a quieter, cultural side. Visit Dalt Vila, the old walled town and UNESCO site, with its narrow cobblestone streets and sea views. Beyond the town, you’ll find charming villages, traditional markets and scenic coastal paths.

Palma’s impressive Gothic Cathedral rises above the harbour and dominates the city’s skyline. Built by King Jaume I, it is one of Spain’s finest examples of Gothic design. Behind it lies a maze of narrow streets filled with boutique shops, cafés and lively squares. The city combines elegant architecture with a relaxed island lifestyle.

Mahon, the capital of Menorca, overlooks one of the Mediterranean’s largest natural harbours. Its Georgian-style buildings reflect the island’s period under British rule. The town’s calm rhythm and harbour views make it ideal for walking. Local heritage includes gin made from juniper berries and the famous Menorcan mayonnaise.

Spend another relaxing day at sea as the Star Clipper sails toward the French Riviera. The open deck invites you to sunbathe, read or simply watch the endless horizon. Join fellow travellers to share stories or admire the crew as they work the sails by hand. Every moment at sea reflects the true romance of sailing travel.

Once a quiet fishing village, St. Tropez is now one of the most glamorous towns on the French Riviera. Its narrow lanes, colourful houses and lively harbour create a unique atmosphere. Walk along the waterfront, visit small art galleries or relax at one of its famous beach cafés. St. Tropez perfectly combines style, history and coastal charm.
