As part of an ongoing programme to keep Star
Clippers’ classic tall ships looking fresh and bright, Star Flyer and Star
Clipper have undergone extensive refurbishment in time for this summer’s peak
season, the company said in a statement.
All bed linen has been replaced and new bed covers introduced in sumptuous
shades of gold and blue. New LED reading lights have been fitted, as well as
flat screen TVs, in all cabins. Category One cabins have new side lamps, too.
During her transatlantic crossing at the start of this season, Star Clipper had
a complete facelift, with all cabins and public areas painted and varnished and
new upholstery in the dining room. This is part of a rolling programme of
refurbishment; Royal Clipper received the same treatment and more in 2013, with
new carpeting throughout and all bathrooms rejuvenated, while the public areas
on Star Flyer were refurbished in 2012. The décor of all three ships has a
nautical theme, with polished wood and brass throughout and wall-mounted prints
and originals throughout each ship of the world’s most famous classic sailing
vessels.
“It’s important to maintain the look of our ships so that when guests step
aboard they feel like they are coming on to their own well-maintained yacht,”
says Andy Lovering, director of sales and marketing. “We want to exceed our
guests’ expectations for their entire Star Clippers experience and that includes
the appearance of the ships.” |
