Sailing from St. John’s, Antigua to Málaga, Spain, this transatlantic voyage combines the romance of traditional tall-ship sailing with the vast openness of the Atlantic. After departing the Caribbean’s renowned yachting hub, days at sea unfold under full sail with opportunities to relax on deck, take the helm, or climb the rigging. A call in Ponta Delgada on São Miguel showcases historic churches and palaces shaped by centuries of maritime trade, before the crossing concludes in Málaga, where Moorish landmarks and nearby Granada’s Alhambra reflect Spain’s rich cultural legacy.


Highlights


• Depart from St. John’s, the vibrant centre of Caribbean sailing culture

• Experience extended ocean sailing aboard a traditional clipper with hands-on opportunities at sea

The dockyards, marinas, old inns, venerable pubs and convivial crowds of sun-tanned yacht crews; this is the epicentre of the Caribbean yachting world.

Each Star Clippers ship offers a traditional and elegant way to see the world. Feel the wind fill the sails and gently carry you from one gorgeous destination to the next. During your time on board, you can choose to relax on a sun lounger or cool off in one of the pools on the top deck, while more adventurous passengers may enjoy the opportunity to climb the rigging or even have a go at steering the ship. Alternatively, you can wander the interior areas of the ship and discover relaxing lounges, a revitalising spa (Royal Clipper only) and a peaceful library.

 

The Azores have long played host to transatlantic yachtsmen, traders and explorers. It stands on the pretty green and fertile island of Sao Miguel. 16th and 17th century economic growth saw the construction of lavish palaces and churches, many still surviving.

Malaga's fortress palace of the Alcazaba and the Castillo de Gibralfaro are splendid examples of Moorish architecture. But it is in Granada that you can see the most romantic and magnificent expression of the Arabesque style in the glorious Alhambra Palace.
