In another expansion of a smaller cruise line, Tall ship cruise line Star Clippers is planing its first sailings to Grand Cayman and Jamaica starting later this year.
According to a cruise press release, "the line says the 170-passenger Star Flyer will operate a 21-night voyage from Costa Rica to Barbados in November that includes a visit to Grand Cayman as well as Venezuela, Colombia and Panama. The trip includes a transit of the Panama Canal."
When it comes to their Jamaican voyage, Star Clippers said, according to USA Today, "that the Star Flyer will operate a nine-night Caribbean crossing departing from Montego Bay, Jamaica on March 31, 2014 that also includes a stop in Port Antonio, Jamaica.
