Star Clippers Set to Operate Cruises to Cuba in 2014

Monaco-based Star Clippers will operate a limited season of cruises in Cuba in 2014 aboard Star Flyer. The line currently plans two repositioning cruises ending or originating at Cienfuegos, Cuba -- one six-night roundtrip from Cienfuegos, and five seven-night roundtrips from Cienfuegos in February and March 2014.

“Star Clippers is headquartered in Europe and caters to an international clientele,” said Mikael Krafft, owner and president of Star Clippers Inc. “Each season we try to diversify our itineraries and offer something new and exciting. The small islands that we’re calling at in Cuba are an ideal match for the Star Clippers product.”

Star Clippers Americas is the Miami-based North American general sales agent for Star Clippers. Under U.S. law, Star Clippers Americas cannot sell or market the line’s Cuba cruises. It is a violation of U.S. law for American citizens or residents to travel to Cuba without authorization. Likewise, U.S. citizens cannot reserve or purchase these cruises from a travel agent, a Star Clippers sales representative or reservationist, or through an affiliated website or other general sales agent.
