Star Clippers is expanding its Eastern Mediterranean program in 2027 with new and enhanced itineraries along the Turkish Riviera.
The cruise line’s 166-guest Star Flyer will operate new 10- and 11-night Turkish Riviera voyages between Istanbul and Antalya, adding a broader collection of Turkish ports to its Mediterranean program while combining calls to select Greek islands.
Istanbul & Beyond
The 11-night Istanbul-to-Antalya sailing, departing May 29 and July 24, 2027, begins in Istanbul before heading south to Dikili, the gateway to the ancient city of Pergamon. The itinerary also calls at Çeşme, known for its marina, beaches and proximity to Alaçatı, before continuing to the Greek islands of Samos and Patmos.
The Star Flyer then returns to Turkey, calling at Datça, the Dalyan River, Fethiye and Kaş, before visiting the Greek island of Kastellorizo and concluding in Antalya.
The 10-night Antalya-to-Istanbul itinerary departs June 9 and August 4 and adds Kekova, a stretch of coastline known for its coves, islands and ancient Lycian remains. The voyage also includes calls at Fethiye and the Dalyan River, along with the Greek islands of Symi and Patmos, before returning to Turkey for calls at Çeşme and Bozcaada.
Turkey will also appear on several shorter Star Flyer Eastern Mediterranean sailings. The 7-night Yachtsman’s Paradise itinerary between Istanbul and Athens includes Dikili, while Delightful Dervishes, sailing between Athens and Istanbul, calls at Dikili and Bozcaada.
Star Flyer carries 166 guests and operates as a traditional four-masted sailing ship. When conditions allow, the vessel sails under wind power between ports, offering a more traditional sailing experience than a conventional cruise.
